Tips to Keep Your Bathroom Tiles Clean of All Grime

Bathroom tiles are durable and practical choice for wall covering and bathroom flooring but they require care and cleaning because if tiles are not cleaned regularly and properly, they begin to accumulate mold, mildew, bacteria and soap deposits. Clean tiles improve the appearance of your bathroom thereby making it look larger, cleaner and brighter. It is thus essential to clean bathroom tiles at least once a week with some good quality cleaning product and scrubbers so as to keep them looking clean and new. 

Try the following bathroom cleaning tips and the results will speak for themselves: 

Pre-clean with a spray cleaner

Prepare your bathroom tiles for cleaning by rubbing them with a basic all-in-one cleaning spray that is formulated especially for cleaning bathroom tiles. This can be done by scrubbing the tiles with a scrubbing brush or sponge after spraying the cleaner. Rinse the tiles with warm water thereafter.

Use bleach to kill mould and mildew

Make a solution by mixing equal amounts of water and bleach to kill mould, mildew and bacteria breeding on the tiles. Spay this mixture on the tiles and scrub hard with a sponge or brush in a circular motion. Use hot water to rinse the tiles after scrubbing. Although bleach is a good option to clean your bathroom tiles, use only a specially formulated cleaning products containing bleach to protect your tiles from looking dirtier than they actually are. Always follow the directions written on the label of the cleaning product. Moreover, use any new product on a small area first so as to test it before continuing. 

Use vinegar solution for cleaning grout

The thin line between two tiles is known as grout. This area has the tendency to collect most of the stains, dirt and mildew because of everyday bathroom use. For this, you need a more powerful cleaning solution. Take 1/4th mixed with 8 cups of water. Use this solution to clean grout. Although white vinegar is good for cleaning mould, it is better to get a tile cleaner with mould inhibitor to prevent further growth of mold.

Apply a soap scum remover

It is quite difficult to remove soap scum with basic bathroom tile cleaner. Therefore, if you notice any residue from soap or hard water on the tile, use a soap scum remover containing powerful cleaning agents like lemon oil, white vinegar, lactic acid or alcohol.

Polish bathroom tiles with a soft towel 

Polish the tiles with a soft and clean towel to make them appear shiny and to free them from any remaining dust or debris. This final step will leave your bathroom tiles glossy and looking as good as new.
