There is no need to use bleach or white vinegar to clean dirty grouts in your bathroom or kitchen. All you need is a common bathroom product.
Blackened joints quickly give the impression of a poorly maintained bathroom or kitchen. And yet, even if you clean these two rooms regularly, dirt quickly becomes encrusted on the tile joints. Dust, soap residue or especially limescale tend to discolor white joints. If you don’t clean these marks quickly, mold can quickly form, making cleaning even more difficult…
For many, getting grouts back to their original whiteness requires hours of intensive scrubbing with white vinegar or using harsh chemicals like bleach, with results that aren’t always satisfactory. Fortunately, there is a surprising and very cost-effective solution to this problem, and it’s right in your bathroom.
Instead of using harmful products, buying expensive specialized products or damaging your hands by rubbing, try this magic product for your joints: shaving foam. This inexpensive product, originally designed for a completely different use, turns out to be a extremely effective weapon for cleaning blackened joints effortlessly.
Using shaving foam to clean the joints is childishly simple. Apply the foam generously directly to the blackened joints. Be sure to cover the entire affected surface, especially the darker or dirtier areas. Let the shaving cream sit on the joints for at least 10 to 15 minutes. During this time, the foam penetrates the dirt, dislodging built-up residue and mold without the need for scrubbing.
After this short 15 minute break, gently scrub the joints with an old damp toothbrush. In the majority of cases, dirt comes off easily. Then, simply rinse with lukewarm water to remove any foam residue and achieve a flawless finish. Why is shaving foam effective on joints? Its components have the ability to dissolve dirt embedded in joints without damaging delicate surfaces such as tiles or the material of the joint itself. In addition, its foamy consistency allows easy and uniform application, even in hard-to-reach areas.
