First in the video: How to properly remove mold in the shower

Clean joints in no time, without any scrubbing? This works with a single, ingenious trick that I'll tell you here.

Is there anything more annoying than having to clean the bathroom? For me, a thorough deep cleaning takes a long time and in the end I'm still not really satisfied with the result. My feared opponents are themin our shower.

No matter how much I scrubbed and wiped in the past, I just couldn't get the discoloration completely off.

I've tried what feels like every cleaner and every home remedy. Until the day a friend told me the ultimate trick to clean grout lines super quickly.

The days of tedious scrubbing are over. Believe me: you will never clean your grout lines in the bathroom or kitchen any other way again. Because it couldn't be more thorough, quicker or easier than this.

With this trick, joints become sparkling clean

The absolute best and most ingenious trick for getting dirty joints clean again is:an electric toothbrush!

The rotating movements of the toothbrush attachment are PERFECT for removing soap residue, limescale or mold from joints without much effort.

Fast, thorough and – in contrast to scrubbing – not the least bit strenuous. Scouring milk is the best cleaning agent for me. But you are welcome to try out different cleaners here.

Best combination for dirty joints

Who towould like to use one to remove small mold stains from jointsMixture of citric acid and baking sodato use.

Simply mix a packet of baking soda with a splash of citric acid into a paste in a small bowl and place it on the brush head. Then place it on the joint, switch it on and move the brush head along the joint.

Also great for removing discoloration on light-colored joints: white whitening toothpaste. It contains tiny abrasive grains that sand away dirt and mold.

Very important:Make sure that the cleaners or home remedies you use are suitable for your tiles. For example, natural stone must not be cleaned with acidic substances or some cleaning agents.

Important: Mark the cleaning brush head clearly

To avoid a disastrous mix-up, you should clearly mark the toothbrush head that you use for brushing.

To do this, I simply painted a large “X” on the cleaning attachment with Edding. I also store the crevice brush head in a different place than the rest of the electric toothbrush attachments.

I hope the trick will revolutionize your cleaning habits too. And that it saves you stress and time!
