Woman shares £1.20 trick that leaves grout looking 'as good as new' with no scrubbing

Nobody enjoys getting down on their hands and knees to clean grout - and not everyone can. But cleaning gurus will be pleased to know there's a simple solution, one that's easy for everyone to use and is said to leave your tiles as 'good as new'.

What's more, it comes with the backing of Mrs Hinch fans, who think the tried-and-tested method works so well that they are happy to recommend it to others.

The bargain trick was praised online after a Facebook user on Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips revealed she was struggling with her grout. "Tools and products to clean this grout.. unable to get down on my hands and knees due to injury," the woman wrote.

In the comments, she added that she had already tried steam mopping but it did little to remove dirt between the tiles on her floor. As such, she was keen to find a 'good grout product that won't damage tiles'.

Thankfully, commenters shared a range of suggestions alongside those to try a telescopic grout cleaning brush, which worked well for those for recommended it.

When it came to sprays, Astonish mould and mildew cleaner, available from Asda for £1.19, proved to be a popular choice.

"Astonish mould cleaner is great it's in a green spray bottle just spray it leave it for 20 min then rinse off job done good luck," read one reply.

Another response said: "Astonish mould and mildew! I’ve just done mine and they’ve come up like new."

Meanwhile, others recommended HG grout cleaner. "HG grout cleaner and a brush. It’s hard work but restored the grout to its original colour ( near enough)," they claimed.

Sharing another method that will involve scrubbing, one person wrote: "Scrub it with a broom that has stiff bristles. Then rinse and dry with a mop."

Someone else advised: "Get in the professionals it will only need doing once it's worth it."
