How To Clean Bathroom Tiles

by Staff Writer

Bathrooms can be among the most difficult rooms in your home to keep clean. Water and heat from the shower can create mildew that is tough to remove and frequent use of the room can make your bathroom tiles dirty. The bathroom is also a high-traffic area, so dirt and grime naturally build up. There are some important tips to keep in mind when thinking about how to clean bathroom tiles more effectively.

Most commercial cleaning products will do a very nice job cleaning your bathroom tile. It’s best to use a mop and some warm water in combination with the detergent, and be sure to follow the instructions on the bottle. Mopping or wiping down the tiles by hand with a rag will leave the tiles looking refreshed.

Since showers leave water residue all over the bathroom, mildew can sometimes surface. Try to keep your bathroom well ventilated to prevent mildew from growing. When you get them, mildew stains can be removed with a good scrubbing. Most people like to use a bleach cleanser to remove mildew from their ceilings or bathroom tiles, but you might consider a green cleaning product–something all natural that won’t have a corrosive effect on your bathroom tile (or on the environment).

Another important factor to consider is the grout around your bathroom tile. While mopping and scrubbing will clean the tile, you may need to use a special tool to get the grout cleaned. Several companies make steaming kits that focus streams of hot steam onto the grout to remove stains. After you use a steamer, wipe down the tiles once more to remove any debris that may be left after the steaming.
