The bathroom is certainly the room in the house most subject to dirt, limescale and mold which tend to settle almost everywhere.
The accumulation of this dirt is visible especially along the joints which tend to blacken , giving a not at all beautiful appearance to this environment.
Luckily, however, all you need to do is use a white candle to whiten the bathroom grout . So let’s see how to do it!
How to do
Since the candle trick is able to whiten the joints but not clean them, it is a good idea to proceed with cleaning them first in order to remove the accumulated dirt.
To do this, we recommend an ingredient known for its degreasing and cleaning properties: yellow soap . Then pour a few pieces of this soap into a bowl containing half a liter of hot water, then pour everything into a vaporizer and spray the resulting mixture directly onto the bathroom joints. Finally, scrub with an old toothbrush to remove all the dirt and rinse.
Only at this point can you try the candle trick by rubbing the tip of a white candle on the cracks in the tiles several times, leaving it to dry for about 10 minutes and finally wiping it over very delicately with a damp cloth.
This candle trick, in fact, will not only be able to create a protective white patina that will remove the “blackened effect “, but will also be useful for preventing the accumulation of dirt : goodbye blackened joints!
NB We recommend that you pass the candle only after having cleaned and left the tiles and joints to dry thoroughly.
Other tricks for whitening blackened grout
Once we have seen the candle trick for whitening blackened grout , let’s see together other very effective tricks for whitening bathroom grout.

Then, leave it on for about an hour before rinsing with a mixture of half water and half vinegar. As if that wasn’t enough, this remedy can also remove mold stains!
Lemon juice
Finally, let’s see one last trick that involves the use of lemon, a citrus fruit known for its whitening properties. We remind you, in fact, that it is a godsend for whitening laundry without using bleach!
Then add the juice of 1 lemon into a bowl containing approximately 1 liter of water and then use the mixture thus obtained on the tiles and joints, using a sponge.
Finally, scrub with a toothbrush or sponge and rinse …and the black on the joints will be just a bad memory!
Warnings
Most of the tiles are made of ceramic, a versatile and easy-to-clean material. This does not prevent there being other materials. Precisely for this reason, always follow the production instructions before starting to clean the tiles.
