How to clean the bathroom so that the tiles always shine: simple tips

Keeping your bathroom tiles clean and shiny is a challenge, especially in areas that are in constant contact with water. Tile joints can become a real breeding ground for mold as fungal spores actively multiply in damp conditions.

Dirt, mold and soap stains can also accumulate on the tiles, making the surface look untidy and unattractive. Experts have explained how you can quickly get rid of stains with the right cleaning products and methods.

How to clean bathroom tiles

The first step is to ventilate the bathroom by opening a window or turning on a fan. This will help reduce the odor of some detergents and speed up the drying process.

Start by wiping the tile surface with a damp cloth or sponge to remove dirt and dust, making it easier to clean the joints later.

To remove dirt from grout joints, it is important to use a cleaner that will effectively remove mold and bacteria without damaging the surface. You can buy a store-bought cleaner specifically designed for this purpose or make your own homemade product by mixing baking soda with water or vinegar.

Life hack for cleaning

Mix water and baking soda to form a paste and dilute it with vinegar. Rub the mixture in with an old toothbrush or brush. It is important to wait 20-30 minutes for the active ingredients to work and disinfect the surface.

After cleaning the joints, rinse the tiles thoroughly with clean water to remove any residue. Then dry the surface with a clean cloth or towel to prevent moisture accumulation and mold re-formation.

For preventive purposes, experts advise using a special sealant between the tiles to keep the joints clean and protected from moisture.

Tiles should be cleaned weekly. By following these tips and techniques, you can keep your tiles shiny and clean, creating a more hygienic and safe environment in your home.
