Here at Sunbright Cleaning, we believe your spaces—big or small—deserve to feel cared for, spotless, and welcoming. And that includes even the tiniest details, like grout lines that may have lost their shine. No need for harsh chemicals or fancy tools—just a cupboard staple and a bit of elbow grease.


Here’s our go-to easy, no-fuss grout refresh trick that brings back that fresh, Sunbright glow:


What You’ll Need:

  • Baking soda

  • White vinegar (in a handy spray bottle, if available)

  • An old toothbrush or small scrub brush


Step-by-Step: Shine Comes Easy

  1. Mix a paste

    Stir up baking soda with a touch of water to form a thick, spreadable paste.

  2. Apply to grout lines

    Gently press the paste into grout, giving it a chance to cling and start working.

  3. Spray with vinegar

    Lightly mist white vinegar over the paste. Watch it fizz—that’s when the magic happens.

  4. Scrub gently

    After the fizzing subsides, scrub along the grout lines. The natural grit in baking soda lifts the grime, while the vinegar helps dissolve buildup—no harsh chemicals needed.

  5. Wipe clean

    Use a damp cloth to wipe away residue, then rinse with warm water and admire the brighter look.


Why It Works

  • Baking soda is a safe, gentle abrasive that lifts stains without damaging surfaces.

  • Vinegar, a natural cleaner, dissolves mineral deposits and banishes mildew and odours.

  • The foaming reaction helps to loosen hidden dirt so scrubbing takes less effort.


Pro Tip: Win the Grout Game with Prevention

Once your grout is gleaming, consider sealing it with a good grout sealer. A tight seal not only stops buildup but also keeps routine cleaning easier—so your floors stay brighter and fresher with less work.
