Clean tiles give a stunning look to your home. But, the dirt particles in your house slowly get embedded in the grouts, creating an unsightly appearance. Even daily moping will not get rid of it.
Thankfully, you can use several tools and materials to clean the tiles and grout. This blog will discuss grout and tile cleaning steps to make it look fabulous.
Before getting started, let us enlist the materials below.
Materials Required:
Chlorine Bleach
Baking soda
Hydrogen peroxide or vinegar
Mop
Medium brush
Grout scrubber
Protective Gloves
Warm Water
Bowls and Buckets
Cotton cloth
Let us start with the procedure
[1] Remove the loose dirt
Use a cotton cloth to remove the loose dirt and dust from tiles and grout. You can use warm water to remove it. Although the all-around process can be hectic, you can call professionals for tile and grout cleaning.
[2] Clean the Grout
Start by sprinkling some warm water on the grout. Scrub it in a rotational motion. You can use a grout scrubber. Be careful not to use too much water. After completing this process, allow the grout to dry.
[3] Use baking soda and vinegar
Take some baking soda into the bowl and then, using a medium-sized brush, apply it to the grouts. Use protective gloves during this process; baking soda can cause harm to your hands. You may suffer from rashes and burning if your naked hands touch this chemical powder.
After applying baking soda, spray vinegar on it. Vinegar is acidic, and the combination of soda basicity and vinegar aciditicity will easily remove the dirt from the grout. Scrub the grouts using a brush (you can also use a toothbrush). Clean the floor using mop and water.
[4] Use Hydrogen Peroxide
For remaining stains, apply Hydrogen peroxide to the grouts. It will be available at most drug stores. You can use it straight after applying the baking soda and vinegar. This mixture is safe for grouts. Clean the floor accordingly.
[5] Apply Chlorine Bleach to the tiles
After cleaning the grouts, pour chlorine bleach into the overall tiles. Mix 3 to 4 spoons of chlorine bleach powder or one measuring cup of solution with 2 to 3 litres of water. After this, pour the solution on the tiles and leave it for 15 minutes. Chlorine will remove the dirt and stains from the tile. It will also help to whiten the tiles.
[6] Clean with water
The last step is cleaning the tiles using water at least 2-3 times. Clean the floor using a mop as usual; the solution is difficult to remove because of the white stains. Use warm water to clean the tiles. After this step, your home will look stunning again.

This overall process is challenging and time-consuming; the chemicals can also cause a burning sensation to your skin. Also, the mixture and cement used while filling the grouts can get loose.
