My kitchen and bathroom grout needed a refresh, so I tried the internet famous DIY trick.
Here are my thoughts on the results, and what you shouldn’t do if you try it yourself.
I clean my kitchen andbathroom floorsweekly, but haven’t given the grout itself a second thought.

What Is the DIY Grout Cleaner?
The popular video,posted to Instagram by a professional organizerand cleaner, has nearly 22,000 likes.
The video shows the creator applying the mixture to the grout with the squeeze bottle.
She directs people to let the mixture sit on the grout for 15 minutes before wiping it clean.
I started with mykitchen tilegrout, applying it in just one vertical line.
I immediately loved the squeeze bottle ideait made it easy to apply with minimal mess or waste of product.
I followed the same steps with mybathroom tilegrout and waited the recommended 15 minutes.
It turns out that my grout was dirtier than I had thought.
And since thisDIY cleanerwas so easy and inexpensive, I immediately tackled the rest of my grout with it.
After your grout is clean and dry, apply a clear liquid sealer and let it fully dry.
