• Hot water

Tools

• Measuring cups
• Measuring spoons

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix the borax, baking soda and oxygen bleach.

3. Once the hot water is added, use the cleaner immediately.
4. Spread the paste over dirty, moldy or mildewy grout.
5. Let it sit for 30 minutes.
6. Scrub gently with a toothbrush.

Notes

Acidic cleaners can damage grout, so a safer mixture like this one is preferable to clean dirty, moldy or mildewy grout.
