Baking soda cleans and shines tiles: here’s how to use it
Gently scrub the tiles with the sponge or brush in a circular motion. Baking soda is mildly abrasive, which helps to lift grime and stains without scratching the tiles.
Rinsing:
After scrubbing, rinse the tiles with warm water. Use a mop or a damp cloth to wipe away the baking soda residue.
Drying:
Dry the tiles with a clean, dry cloth to prevent water spots and to leave the tiles shiny.
Tips
For Tough Stains:
For particularly tough stains, sprinkle baking soda directly on the stain and spray with a little water or vinegar. Let it sit for a few minutes before scrubbing.
Grout Cleaning:
Baking soda is also effective for cleaning grout. Apply the paste to the grout lines, scrub with a brush, and rinse.
Adding Vinegar:
For extra cleaning power, especially for mold or mildew, you can mix baking soda with white vinegar. Apply the mixture to the tiles, let it fizz, scrub, and rinse.
Using baking soda not only cleans but also helps to deodorize and maintain the natural shine of your tiles. This method is eco-friendly and safe for most tile surfaces.
