2. Choose your cleaning solution

There are many different cleaning solutions you can use to clean grout. Some popular options include vinegar and baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and baking soda, or commercial grout cleaners. Choose the solution that works best for you and your needs.

You can also use an all-purpose floor cleaner to clean the surface and avoid using a solution that contains acid or anything that may harm the tile.
