How to Clean Pet Stains from Tile Grout

Different pet messes can discolour the tile grout or make it look disgusting. Although it might seem like a disaster, the situation can be overcome very easily. You only need to know some useful techniques. This article will provide you with the tips, which will help you clean up in no time.

 

It is possible that pet urine is sometimes acidic. It can penetrate into the grout, making it lose its colour. Domestic cleaning Melbourne shared with me some advice on how to deal with that.

 

It is good to start with some cleaners. Baking soda and some mild detergent are a very good option. The baking soda solution should be prepared by mixing the soda with some water into a container. Then, apply it to the stained grout. If you intend to use a detergent, mix it also with water. When you apply the solution, whatever it is, leave it to stay for 10-15 minutes. After that, brush the grout with an old toothbrush and rinse with plenty of water.

 

Using vinegar will also help you a lot. It will not only remove the stain but the bad odour as well. Mix one part water with one part vinegar into a spray bottle. Spray the solution to the affected area and leave it for about 10 minutes.

 

If the stains are too hard to remove, you'd better try with bleach. There are several bleach solutions which you can use. Oxygen bleach is the best variant. Dilute it in water and apply to the stain. Let it stay for 10 minutes. The bleach will dissolve the stains and it will be much easier to remove the stain when you scrub.

 

If the grout is really worn out and it looks very bad, it is a good idea to replace it. But you will need some special materials and tools.

 

You can clean the tile grout easily if you follow the above tips. If you think you couldn't make it on your own, or you don't have time for it, find some professionals. For instance, cleaning Melbourne would be a very nice choice.
