2-White vinegar

Another solution that doesn’t require scrubbing the tiles to make them shine is to mix white vinegar with water to remove the impurity. You should note that mold will have a hard time resisting this simple formula. Although white vinegar can restore the shine of tiles and prevent limescale and mold from settling on them, it should be avoided. It could tarnish your tiles.

If you find it necessary to rub your joints, you don’t even have to burn yourself. Just use a regular, used toothbrush to better penetrate the white vinegar. You’ll find that these simple tile cleaning tricks require at most firm scrubbing and not too vigorous.

3. Baking soda

If you have baking soda in your kitchen cupboard, take advantage of it.

How to do?

You can mix this multipurpose product with warm water and clean your tiles and grout with the resulting paste.

Of course, you can increase the dosage of these tips if you want to clean all the tiles with the mop.
