DIY Cleaning Products
1. Grout Cleaner
From Ann’s Entitled Life.
Most houses have some cruddy grout somewhere. Chemicals, steam cleaning – they all work, some methods better than others. But if you are cutting down on the chemicals in your house, and don’t own a steam cleaner, why not make your own grout cleaner?
Making your own grout cleaner is simple and only requires a few ingredients and tools. This can work for grout in the bathroom or in the kitchen, especially where you don’t want to risk chemicals coming in contact with your food.
