Pinterest grout cleaner

I saw a post on pinterest about a grout cleaner that only used Dawn (blue one) and peroxide. Since I have ceramic tile all through my house, I thought I would give it a try.
The pinterest post said 1 part Dawn to 2 parts peroxide.  This really works well, but I had so much soap suds from the Dawn, it was impossible to wipe clean. This bucket is full of suds after changing the water at least 10 times.  WAY to much Dawn.  I even kept adding more peroxide, but the Dawn suds are just too potent. lol

 If I do it again, I will do 1 part dawn and about 4 parts peroxide.  Like I said before, it works really well, but the soap suds are out of control.

This is a pic of the difference in the grout lines when I had finished one area.

It's kinda of hard to tell from the pic, but the grout looks like it did the day the tile was installed.  Much better.  I'm very happy with the dawn/peroxide combo for cleaning grout. Just not their amounts. If you try it, less Dawn is definitely better. You can always add more. But its very hard to take it away.
