Have everything ready, including reading all of the instructions, before mixing the cleaning solution. The chemical reaction helps to lift dirt and grime so you will work quickly to apply the paste to the wall.
Mix a Paste. In a small bowl or dish, pour a small amount of baking soda. Pour enough hydrogen peroxide that a damp, but thick paste forms. It's about 1 part hydrogen peroxide to roughly 2 or 3 parts baking soda.
Dip your brush into the baking soda mixture and apply to the wall. You don't need to scrub vigorously at this point, you are just trying to get it into the grout lines.
Let the Solution Sit. Allow the baking soda and hydrogen peroxide mixture to sit on the grout lines for about 5-10 minutes. This dwell time helps to loosen dirt and stains for easier removal.
Scrub the Grout Lines. After the sit time, use the scrub brush or toothbrush to scrub the grout lines vigorously. Work in small circular motions or back-and-forth strokes to dislodge stubborn grime.
Rinse and wipe clean. For a shower, you can just spray with a handheld water sprayer to rinse all the residue from the walls or wipe any spots that need a little more pressure.
Dry the Surface. The grout may appear darkened from being wet. Allow the area to air dry for about 24 hours before resuming normal use or sealing.
