Make your own homemade Tile and grout cleaner

Get rid of that grimy soap film that forms on and between ceramic bathroom tiles with this easy to make recipe.

To make 3 pints/1.7 liters

• 8 tablespoons baking powder
• 5 tablespoons household ammonia
• 2 floz/60ml white vinegar 2 pints
• 16 floz/1.6 liters warm water

Combine the ingredients in a plastic jug or fruit juice container, cover and shake vigorously. Label the container and store it out of the reach of children. For small jobs, fill a pump-type container with the solution; spray directly onto the tile surface, then wipe with a damp sponge or cloth.

Caution Do not mix this cleaner with anything containing bleach.
