Mundane topics like whitening tile grout in bathrooms and kitchens don't attract much interest on a platform like this. But today, I was able to confirm (not without certain amount of astonishment) that some of the online home improvement gurus have almost as many followers as the same Joe Rogan.

This tedious work can be done in many ways, though none of them is pleasant. It requires thorough cleaning and a large dose of patience if you want your tiles to look like mirrors, and it also takes forever to get the whole thing done.

Professionals, of course , have a more "holistic" approach. They apply the whitener with a plastering trowel, making precise/clever twists and turns with their wrists. I don't think I could do that, let alone standing on the edge of a tub.

So however you choose to whiten your grout tiles, I recommend you use a mask unless you want to end up looking like a cocaine-addicted buffalo, which is pretty much what happened to me the first time.

That's all for today, not bad for a white Sunday. By the way, the final countdown to Christmas starts today. We'd better batten down the hatches. Haaappy Sunday.
