Cleaning Bathroom Tile
A bathroom contains a diversity of surface types, and not
all cleaning products work on every one of them. Cleaning
bathroom tile can be boring work; especially if we are trying
to clean the whole bathroom. The hardest thing is when we are
trying to get rid of the dirt in those tiny little tiles. After
a while they have become mildewed, dirty and require hour’s
worth of cleaning. Tile grout is not water proof and must be
replaced, so you can keep your bathroom shining.
You can use a variety of cleaning products that can be found
in the markets, but vinegar, salt, baking soda and lemon juice
are low-priced, useful and helpful products to clean with. You
can use stronger products, for the heavy duty stains, such as
hydrogen peroxide, chlorine bleach, some acids and oxygen
bleach powder. But if you use these products be very careful
with them and read the instructions before use.
Things you'll need to clean your bathroom tiles are: Sponge,
Rubber gloves or latex gloves and safety goggles, Cleaning
cloths, Dish soap or laundry detergent, Steel wool, Toothbrush
or cotton swabs, Scrub brush, stiff scrub brush or a grout
brush. The most difficult thing is to get in certain corners,
so you can try using a tooth brush. After few minutes just wash
with water and the goo will come right out. If you want to
remove body oils and soap scum, use the citrus. Also you can
use the vinegar in the runner, wait a little and wash with
water. This will wash out most of the dirt, grime, mold, and
accumulations. You will have to ventilate your bathroom while
you are cleaning because the fumes are never good for you.
Shower curtains are another source of problems, because they
are many places for all sorts of soap scum, grime, calcium
deposits, mold and mildew. You can solve your problem by
spraying it with vinegar, and the mildew will disappear. Wax
all surfaces to create a less comfortable place for mildew and
mold to grow. Now that the tiles are sparkling clean, they will
make the entire bathroom look cleaner, free of dirt, mildew and
calcium deposits.
