Step 2

Mix a solution of two parts water and one part bleach in a bucket or in the sink. If your tiles and grout aren't white, use color-safe bleach to avoid fading and discoloration.

Step 3

Dip a soft to medium bristle brush in the solution and use it to clean the grout in between the tiles.

Step 4

Mop the flop with a mop dipped in the solution. If the area is small, it may be beneficial to use a soft clean cloth or towel instead of the mop to be able to do a more thorough job.

Step 5

Allow the floor to dry completely and do any touch ups as needed.

Tip

Wear gloves and ventilate the area well when dealing with bleach.
