Dirty grout makes even a clean bathroom or kitchen look tired. Scrubbing by hand is slow and hard on your wrists and knees. A cordless electric spin scrubber does the hard work for you: the rotating brush head reaches into grout lines while you simply guide it. Here is how to get bright grout and sparkling tile in less time.
What you need
- A cordless electric spin scrubber (also called a power scrubber or shower scrubber)
- A small round brush head for grout and a flat head for tile
- Warm water and a mild tile cleaner, or a paste of baking soda and water
- A microfiber cloth or squeegee
Step-by-step: cleaning grout
- Rinse the area with warm water to loosen surface dirt.
- Apply your cleaner along the grout lines and let it sit for 5–10 minutes. Never mix different cleaning products.
- Fit the small round brush and run the scrubber slowly along each grout line on the higher speed.
- Switch to the flat head for the tile faces.
- Rinse and dry with a microfiber cloth or squeegee to prevent new water spots.
Tips for better results
- Use the extension handle for floors and high shower walls so you don't need to kneel or stretch.
- Let the brush do the work: pressing hard slows the rotation.
- For stubborn corners, use a narrow crevice brush or a small detail brush set.
- Rinse the brush heads after use and let them air-dry.
Keep grout clean longer
- Squeegee shower walls after each shower.
- Run the bathroom fan for 20 minutes after bathing.
- Do a quick scrubber pass once a week instead of a big scrub once a month.
More than grout
A spin scrubber with interchangeable heads also cleans bathtubs, sinks, kitchen backsplashes, stovetops, outdoor furniture and car wheels.
