Cleaning the bathroom seems to be one of the most difficult tasks at home. Due to the salinity present in the water, white marks appear on the tiles, while due to the layer of soap and constant moisture, the tiles gradually lose their shine. If cleaning is not done on time, dirt and fungus can also accumulate in the grout lines between the tiles. Many cleaners available in the market are quite strong, so they should be used with caution on all types of tiles. In such cases, a simple cleaning solution made of dishwashing liquid and white vinegar can be used. Let us know how to make and use it.
Prepare cleansing solution
First of all, take 3 spoons of dishwashing liquid in a bowl. Add about one-third cup of white vinegar to it. Mix both the things well and prepare a uniform solution.
fill in spray bottle
Fill the prepared mixture in a clean spray bottle. With the help of a spray bottle, the solution can be easily applied even on the corners of the tiles and those places where it is difficult to reach.
spray dirty tiles
Now spray this solution thoroughly on those bathroom tiles where soap layer, water marks or yellow stains are visible. Also pay attention to the grout lines between the tiles, as more dirt can accumulate here.
leave for 5 minutes
Do not start scrubbing the tiles immediately after spraying. Let the solution sit on the tiles for about 5 minutes. This can loosen the accumulated dirt and soap layer and make it easier to clean.
Clean with a sponge or microfiber cloth
After 5 minutes, take a clean sponge or microfiber cloth and wipe the tiles gently. Where stains are more stubborn, a little more cleaning may be required as needed.
rinse thoroughly with water
After cleaning, rinse the tiles thoroughly with clean water, so that the cleaning solution and dirt are completely removed. After this, open the bathroom window or run the exhaust fan, so that the tiles and floor can dry thoroughly.
necessary precautions
Vinegar is acidic, so consult the manufacturer's recommendations before using it on natural stone such as marble or certain sensitive surfaces. It's best to test any new cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area first. Also, never mix vinegar with bleach or other cleaning chemicals.
