Change the rinse water frequently to avoid redistributing dirt across the floor.
After rinsing, dry the cleaned area with a clean towel or microfiber cloth.
Dry grout makes it much easier to identify any remaining stained areas that may benefit from another round of cleaning.
Step 5: Address Stubborn Stains
Some grout stains may have developed over many months or years and may not disappear after a single cleaning.
For persistent discoloration, hydrogen peroxide or other grout-safe cleaners may help improve the appearance. Always test any stronger cleaning solution in a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it will not damage the grout or tile finish.
Several gentle cleaning sessions are generally safer than using highly aggressive methods that could damage the grout.
