Making bathroom tiles look brand new can be simple and chemical-free with a natural cleaning solution. Here’s the trick:
Natural Tile Scrubbing Method
What You’ll Need:
Baking Soda: A gentle abrasive to scrub dirt and stains.
White Vinegar: Breaks down soap scum and kills bacteria.
Lemon Juice: Adds shine and fights mold.
Dish Soap: Cuts through grease and grime.
Toothbrush or Scrub Brush: For scrubbing grout and tough spots.
Warm Water: To rinse everything off.
Soft Cloth or Microfiber Towel: For the final wipe-down.
How to Do It:
Step 1: Make the Scrubbing Paste
Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and a splash of dish soap to form a thick paste.
Step 2: Apply the Paste
Spread the paste generously over the tiles, especially on stained areas or grout lines.
Let it sit for 5–10 minutes to break down stains and soap scum.
Step 3: Scrub the Tiles
Use a scrub brush or an old toothbrush to scrub the tiles in circular motions, focusing on grout lines and areas with buildup.
For tough stains, sprinkle a little more baking soda on the area before scrubbing.
Step 4: Rinse with Vinegar Solution
Mix equal parts white vinegar and warm water in a spray bottle.
Spray the vinegar solution over the tiles and grout; it will fizz if there’s leftover baking soda, further breaking down grime.
Let it sit for a few minutes.
