How to clean grout in one easy step!

I know this isn't the most exciting blog post and its going to be a quick one!

I love to clean so for me this was empowering and exciting! I felt so happy to see the grout finally white with literally NO effort and NO scrubbing!

It was so easy and the product I used was only $1!

YES, only one dollar bill!

Its very exciting, I know!

The product I purchased was from the Dollar Tree. Now I am not sure if this product truly works on other things like it is originally made for but for dirty grout, it works pretty darn good!

I started the process late at night and not just because I am a night owl and have nothing more fun to do at midnight except clean, its because it is pure liquid and the product will need to sit on your grout overnight or for a few hours and you will not want your littles ones walking through it especially since it is a cleaner.

Here is the cleaner I used:

The works tub and shower cleaner

The next photos may be hard to look at. Please keep in mind we live in a rental and have only lived here a few short months and I have tried everything to clean the grout even tried magic erasers. This stuff....

This stuff right here though is pretty darn amazing!

Its amazing because you soak your floors in it and let it sit...

Come back in two hours or the next morning and poof, its clean!

Just remember it is a very wet process so I would do this at night or while the kiddos are at school. 

Here are the before and afters:

The before looks pretty gross but believe me I clean my bathroom pretty frequently throughout the week but I'd also like to enjoy my family and kids and don't want to scrub grout for hours on end. 

This before photo is an up close shot of the part of grout I poured some of the cleaner on. 

And TA-DA here is the after! I showed more of the tile in this photo to show some of the grout that I have not cleaned yet! This stuff is pretty powerful. Its also only $1, so it may be worth a shot if you have been looking for a solution for cleaning your grout!

Thanks for visiting and stopping by! Have a great day! :)

Everyone has to start somewhere, here is mine

This is my very first post.

I have tried to blog many times before and I feel like I sucked at it so here I am trying again for the 3rd time because 3rd times a charm right eh???

Ok, I plan on blogging about many things but my main topics will be about being a modern day homemaker and stay at home mama! I love to clean and I love to thrift! If there is a deal then I will find it!

I plan on doing thrift day friday's.

Sounds pretty great to me and it rhymes :)

I also enjoy cooking and baking when I have the time, moms seriously do not have time to do much of anything so I am surprised I am even up writing this and not sleeping or watching general hospital. ..

by the way that is my favorite show, can you believe julian wormed his way back into Alexis's life and Nina wormed her way into charlottes life? She is trying to be her mom! it makes me so mad. well anyways, thats for another day, I could go on and on.....

I also would like to share tips and tricks on this blog as well as furniture makeovers and decorating our rental.

We have lived in a rental home for the past 8 years... 8 YEARS! we have moved over 12 times and that includes different states as well. We are ready and willing to buy but the time has not come yet where we are able to.

I do everything possible to make a rental home lovable and livable and I would love to share those tips!

I like to organize and keep a clean and tidy home and let me tell you, it is HARD with 3 little boys but there are ways and steps to make it stay clean and there are ways to keep up on it!

I think I am supposed to pick one main thing for my blog to be about but its hard because I like many things! from all the research I have done, they say pick a main theme, I just can't do that...

I hope people will still like me and my blog...

here goes nothing.

XOXO, Courtney
