If the tile and grout in your shower is full of soap scum, grime or mold and mildew, let me show you the best way to clean that up. Now for everyday cleaning and if your tile and grout is more like a 1 to 3 on the meter, I like to keep it as simple as possible and just use about a teaspoon of dish soap and warm water in a spray bottle. All I do is mix it up, spray it on and then I'll give it a real good scrub and let it sit for anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes, just so that can break down all the soap scum and things and then comes through and give it a good rinse. The reason this works so well is the dish soap is a degreaser and you really needed a degreaser to cut through things like soap scum and body oils that really tend to build up in our shower. And the other really nice thing about using this mix as well is that it's pretty cost effective and easy to make and it goes a real long way. And the nice thing is if you keep up with cleaning your shower, it doesn't get super dirty, so you don't have to get as intense and do a deep clean on the grout as often. Now I've talked about this in other videos, but investing in a drill brush scrubber for just everyday cleaning is a total game changer, just because it really speeds up the cleaning process and plus you don't have to scrub manually and it's not as hard on the body as well. So if you don't have one of these yet, definitely check the link down in the description because I highly suggest them. A quick pro tip if you have high gloss or mirror-like finished tiles like these here, once you're done rinsing them, just with your everyday cleaning, grab a dry microfiber cloth and just come through and do a final dry and buff here. This will get rid of any streaks that might be left behind or even water spots and it really levels up your clean. Hey guys, Future Brandon here. I just wanted to pop in and let you know that we officially launched the Clean That Up merch store. So if you want to get your hands on some cool cleaning shirts like this one here, go over to letscleanethatup.com. Check the link in the description below or you can click the YouTube shopping tab right in the video and access everything there. Check it out and let me know what you think. Now let's say your grout hasn't been cleaned in a while and you're starting to have a good amount of buildup. Now, usually I can qualify this as a 4 to 6 on the meter and usually you have to step up your cleaner to really cut through that. Now there's two I like to suggest. The first is a DIY mix, it's super simple. All you need is 3% hydrogen peroxide, that's just the brown bottle and then baking soda. What you're going to do is mix these into a paste. I usually like to have kind of the consistency of like a runny toothpaste. Then grab either a toothbrush or even a grout brush and just scrub that right into the grout lines. What's nice about this mix is it actually works pretty quickly. You can usually see it start to lift the grime there, but it does take a little bit of time because you have to scrub every single grout line and the smaller your tile means the more scrubbing you're going to have to do because you have more grout in that area. Now if you have big tile in your shower, it's not going to take very long and it's pretty quick and easy. Now once you let it sit for a little bit after scrubbing it in, then comes through and just give everything a really good rinse. Now I mentioned a toothbrush works really well to scrub the grout lines, especially because it's a little skinnier, it fits in there really nice. Now if there's really bad, sometimes you might want to step up to an actual scrub brush. I prefer the nylon ones. The reason being is this is not going to scratch or cause any damage, but if you do get like a stainless steel or brass, you want to be very careful with these in areas that are super greasy and grimy. I have stepped up to these, but in most cases, your nylon brush is going to work the best. Now, if you have really bad buildup, you might want to consider a grout rake or a grout brush. I prefer the nylon ones.
