Tiles present a particular challenge during cleaning, as they can sometimes accumulate mold and require a scrubbing before they can be properly cleaned. To clean ceramic tile in the kitchen or bathroom, mix an even amount of ammonia and water and use a Bullywipe cloth to sponge the solution into the tiles. Wash using warm water or let the shower run on hot for a couple of minutes to help the dirt loosen up. Rinse and repeat if you can still see stains, especially on the grout between tiles. Plastic tiles can be washed with a solution mix of pure lemon oil and water. There’s usually no scrubbing needed and using a cleaning cloth should be enough to shine the tiles clean.
Porcelain tiles are the most difficult to clean, as they absorb stains and can become resistant to common cleaning methods. To get rid of stubborn stains, you can use lighter fluid and a nylon scrub pad. Rinse with a wet cleaning cloth and warm water.
