Anybody have advice (other than getting down on my knees and scrubbing…) for cleaning the grout on my kitchen floors?

I’ve heard of making a thick water & baking soda paste & appying it with a toothbrush, then using warm vinegar to rinse. Kind of a cool, volcanic science experiment all over your kitchen floor, but I suppose you could use a mop & spare your knees!
One I’ve used for moldy bathroom tile grout is to buy a bunch of cotton-ball-type strips (the kind they use around the hair caps in beauty salons)—10 feet is good for around the bathroom tub—and leaving it to sit overnight after I drizzle/pour bleach on it. The bleach doesn’t drip out of the cotton; it stays in it & therefore up against the mold.
For safety reasons, obviously you’ve got to stay up past the little ones to do this, and then get it all cleaned up before they’re up, too!

Help! Some time ago, someone posted a comment with a recipe for white frosting, consisting of whipping cream, butter and powdered sugar that you beat for a LONG time. We loved it, but I (of course) didn’t write the recipe. Now my daughter wants it on her lemon birthday cake.
Can anyone help?

Hopefully someone will know which recipe you are looking for….but if not you can try allrecipes.com and search under ingredients and type in the ones you want. I just checked quickly before posting this and found this among many other recipes
