Ways to keep tiles from becoming dirty? What is the best way to clean tiles that have oils or grease on them? Floors made of porcelain, stoneware, slate, tiles, or ceramic might show footprints as soon as a person steps on them or mop marks that seem like grease streaks. In this case, it’s not the tiles’ fault, but rather the materials and technique you use to clean them. Use this technique to learn a new, easier way to clean your tile floors.
There is another miraculous substance that may restore your tiles when they seem gray and the joints are dirty: baking soda. You most likely have a pot of grandmother’s tips stashed away in a cabinet if you use them every day! The following is the procedure to follow for cleaning tile joints using baking soda:
A helpful hint: use a varnish specifically designed for tile joints to shield them from moisture and stains. This will keep those tile joints that are quite exposed from becoming too filthy too fast, such in a bathroom or kitchen.
Put four teaspoons of baking soda and ten centimeters of white vinegar into a spray bottle. You shouldn’t be alarmed if the mixture begins to bubble like a little volcano; this is an inevitable byproduct of the chemical process.
Apply the baking soda-white vinegar spray to the grimy tile joints and wait for it to sit for at least one day.
After a good scrub with a toothbrush or sponge, a quick rinse with water will leave your joints looking like new!
