Only a few things in this world can be more mood-souring than seeing your bathroom tiles and grout in a sorry shape. Not only does it ruin your should-be relaxing shower time, but it also destroys the overall aesthetic you are going for in your trusty bathroom.
With tiles, the separating factor between looking dazzling to dingy can often come down to how the grout in between them looks. And while the reason why your bathroom tiles and grout may look soiled can be attributed to several factors, you don’t need to fret too much as getting it cleaned again isn’t impossible. Here are some ways you may find helpful to have a cleaner and brighter bathroom tiles and grout.
Try tea tree oil to kill mold
Steamy, humid bathrooms that do not have enough air circulation within them are dream destinations for mold spores. That may be, getting rid of them is a breeze. Tea tree oil is a natural mold-inhibitor that has shown to effectively kills mold on non-porous surfaces, such as your bathroom tiles. Once used to clean your grout, always make sure to open a window or turn on the bathroom fan after taking a shower to lower the room’s overall humidity. This makes it so you’d have far lesser mold to deal with down the line.
Use steam to scrub bathroom tiles
When it comes to bathroom cleaning, you’d probably be dealing with soap scum residue on top of the surface dirt and debris typical to tiled rooms. While some may see soap residue as less disgusting than other dirty things commonly seen around the house, it can prove harder to remove. Make it less of a hassle by spritzing your tiled floors and shower walls with a surface cleaner. Crank the hot water for a few minutes until steam builds up. After a while, the tiles should be much easier to wipe clean with a simple cloth.
Make grout shine using baking soda
Cut cube portions on a sponge that can fit between your tiles and get into your grouts. Dip them into baking soda, and voila! You can now use them to get rid of the mildew and mold. Cover the grout with your baking soda-soaked small sponge cuts and spray water or vinegar on it to activate the cleaning power of baking soda. Leave it alone just like that for an hour, and then scrub it again using your hands or brush. The thing here is to let the baking soda absorb the toxins in your grout made by mold spores.
