Gotta start somewhere....

Ok....here we go....today I had some errands to run and things to take care of at our old house as we close on the sale next week.  I was looking forward to coming home and working in the yard when a large downpour ensued and left me inside.  I figured well I could start unpacking all those boxes upstairs but that seems overwhelming.  I could mop the floor, but I am not all the interested in doing that either! haa (who is ?!?)  So I settled in on the couch with the I-pad to search grout cleaning solutions. I found something that caught my eye so I thought I would try it.

The next 2 pictures are before shots of the grout in my kitchen.

                                         Below is the little area I tested. Yep it works!!

Started to scrub the middle.....

and more.....

So the corner is where I started, working out.....the tile blends so well with clean grout!  I am amazed at how this is looking in such a short time.  So you are probably thinking that this took a lot of cleaners and scrubbing but the beauty of it is, it didn't!

I did that corner in 10-15minutes.  The recipe I used was a 50/50 solution of hydrogen peroxide and hot tap water.  That's it.  Natural, safe, not harsh on the hands and I used a small scrub brush that I probably intended to use on dishes or in the shower but it now has an official "Floor" label on it. Well I have to get back to work because I am going to shock my husbands socks off tonight by getting the kitchen done!  I am just so excited!!

 

***UPDATE***

I did not get done prior to my husband returning home, but...I did get a large portion done and he was beyond amazed!  Actually, not getting it all done allowed him to see the amazing difference even more.  He hated the tile in our kitchen and wanted to rip it out as soon as possible, but after returning home last night he said that this made it much more tolerable and easy to look at!!  See, sometimes it doesn't have to be a drastic expensive job to make a difference!!  I am now working on the bathroom/laundry room which appeared to be even dirtier than the kitchen.  I do not have before/after pictures but it is looking great!
