Cleaning Flour/Gluten From Grout
Does anyone have suggestions for cleaning accumulated flour/gluten from grout?
It appears I'm a messy baker. Airborne flour and humidity have conspired to line my grout with a scrub resistant accumulation which I first thought was effervescence but I'm guessing now is a flour/gluten combo. Water helps but the grout is rough and grime fairly embedded.
Thanks for any help.

Try soaking with vinegar. I use it to get dried dough off my hands, starter container, bowls etc. It honestly works like 'magic'. I picked this hint up years ago on TFL and have been grateful since. Let's hope you find it works for your situation too.
the grout?
Electric toothbrush or other brush and cold salt water would be my suggestion. Try using baking soda for grit if needed. A shot of dish washing soap to cut grease. When you get it off, rinse well, dry and reseal with a silicone grout sealer.
And if its really gross a toothpick, cut up credit card or wooden skewer can help up a bit.
Happy Cleaning!
