No matter how frequently floors get mopped or tiles scrubbed, stained grout in kitchens and bathrooms keeps surfaces looking dirty. Cleaning expert Mrs Hinch, known as Sophie Hinchliffe, shares a simple yet effective method that leaves her thrilled with results.
Instagram Star’s Kitchen Floor Transformation
With nearly five million Instagram followers, Sophie frequently posts cleaning hacks. While tidying her home, she noticed her grout-cleaning routine and decided to share it after fans repeatedly asked for tips.
In an Instagram Story, she demonstrated from her kitchen floor: “Currently sitting on my kitchen floor. I wasn’t going to film this, and then I thought, ‘Do you know what, I will’, because so many people ask me about grout in tiles.”
She revealed her go-to tool: a damp magic eraser, sometimes paired with Elbow Grease for tougher spots. Wiping a section instantly restored the grout to white. “Feel like I’ve got a new floor,” Sophie added. “So if you need to tackle your dirty grout, buy some magic erasers. Look at the difference. Absolutely buzzing.”
How Magic Erasers Work
Made from melamine foam, these sponges rely on their abrasive texture for stain removal across various surfaces, without harsh chemicals.
Affordable Options
Households can grab a pack of three from B&Q for £2, or 67p per sponge. Bulk buyers find a 50-pack on Amazon for £7.99.
Other Natural Grout Cleaning Methods
Baking soda mixed into a paste with water effectively whitens stained grout. Steam cleaning also blasts away stains quickly, eliminating scrubbing.
