TIP OF THE DAY
Can you really clean grout without kneeling for an hour?
Hydrogen peroxide brightens dingy grout lines in about 15 minutes with minimal scrubbing. Spray 3% hydrogen peroxide onto grout, wait 10 minutes, then scrub lightly with a grout brush or old toothbrush. Rinse with plain water and wipe down the surrounding tile. The bubbling action pulls dirt out of porous grout, and because peroxide breaks down into water and oxygen, it won't leave residue or require a second rinse. |  |
CLEANING
We once brought a dull stainless steel bracelet back to a bright shine during a lunch break with warm water, mild soap, and a soft toothbrush. These five quick tricks show how to deep clean stainless steel jewelry in minutes. Here's a fun fact: stainless steel forms a chromium oxide layer that helps prevent tarnish.
