Honestlyadri says, "I mix peroxide and baking soda until it starts looking foamy." She then drops some of the creamy mixture on the shower floor and gently scrubs it into the surface using a brush.
One of the reasons she uses this method is "you don't have to scrub super hard." After spreading the paste over the dirty grout, a simple rinse is all that's needed.
Afterwards, the shower grout looks new again.

Baking soda has long been a staple in many households for several reasons. From removing odors, cutting grime, and dissolving organic matter, it's an effective cleaning agent that's also cheap and non-toxic. You can still get an 8-oz box for about $1.00.
People often use hydrogen peroxide as an alternative to bleach since it's a great disinfectant with a less pungent smell. However, it's advised to use a 3% concentration for safe household cleaning.
If you have children, pets, or allergies, you may have concerns about the irritants commonly found in many commercial products. Thanks to the lack of volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, baking soda doesn't create toxic fumes that can create respiratory issues.
According to one TikToker, a baking soda and toothpaste mix is a great scuff remover for shoes. A baking soda paste with dish soap and vinegar can also brighten and remove stains from white clothes.
