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 hard 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.
