Many methods have been invented to make surfaces in the bathroom and kitchen literally sparkle with cleanliness.
ADVICE.NEWS has collected the most effective methods that will make your tiles shine.
How to clean tiles
Steam the dirt on the tiles using hot water, steam or even a hair dryer. This trick will make cleaning faster because the dirt will be easier to scrub and rinse off.
To remove stubborn dirt in hard-to-reach places, use a mop designed for washing floors. It is equipped with a convenient adjustable handle, as well as a movable nozzle with a microfiber cloth attached to it.
To clean the seams, use an old toothbrush and anti-mold products that contain chlorine. This component will help you disinfect and bleach the space between the seams.
Be sure to wear gloves when using household chemicals. Some products contain substances that not only dry out but also corrode the skin of your hands.
First, wash the walls with a cloth or sponge with detergent applied to them, moving from top to bottom. After cleaning, do not forget to wash the surface with clean water and wipe dry.
After laying the tiles, do not skimp on grouting, choose epoxy, two-component. It is more expensive, but repels moisture well, which prevents the appearance of bacteria, fungus and mold in the seams. Cement, on the contrary, quickly darkens and absorbs water.
What can you use to clean tiles?
For stubborn stains, use baking soda. Both table soda and special cleaning soda are suitable. The small particles in its composition quickly remove sticky stains.
If you don’t have baking soda, use fine salt, which copes well with solidified fat and doesn’t leave streaks.
If the dirt is not heavy, choose soap or dishwashing liquid. Wash the surface with a sponge, after cleaning, wipe the tile dry with a dry cloth.
Follow these tips to make cleaning as easy as possible. Finally, remember: it is important to keep the tiles dry. Therefore, ventilate the room during or after cleaning.
