Maintaining a clean shower is essential for both aesthetics and hygiene. Over time, grout—a porous material that holds tiles together—can accumulate mold, mildew, and grime, making your shower look unsightly and potentially leading to deterioration.
If your grout is beyond the point of cleaning or you’re just tired of the maintenance, you might consider replacing it with an easier-to-maintain surface. This article will guide you through the process of cleaning grout effectively and also discuss alternative surfaces that require less upkeep.

How to Clean Shower Grout:
1. Begin by moistening the grout lines with warm water. This preps the area, loosening some of the surface dirt and making the cleaning solutions more effective.
2. Prepare a cleaning solution by mixing equal parts of white vinegar and warm water. Vinegar is a natural, non-toxic cleaner that can break down grime without damaging grout. For tougher stains, you might want to use a commercial grout cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide.
3. Apply the cleaning solution to the grout and let it sit for several minutes. If you’re using a baking soda paste, you can apply it directly to the grout lines and spray it with the vinegar solution. The reaction will help lift the dirt.
4. Scrub the grout lines with a grout brush or an old toothbrush. Pay special attention to corners and areas with significant staining.
