Tiles, how to keep them always sparkling and shiny? Here’s the technique that will change your life: all the cleaning ladies do it.

Keeping  tiles clean  can sometimes be a challenge, but with this  technique  , it’ll be a breeze. Only cleaning experts know this trick.

Tiles and cleaning, the perfect combination for a clean and sparkling home

When buying or renovating a house, choosing the tiles  is one of the most important decisions. It’s not always a good idea to rely solely on personal taste. Above all, floors must be  functional  because keeping them clean can sometimes be a real challenge.

Whether your  tiles  are made of concrete or marble, with a  smooth, rough, or porous stone surface,  it doesn’t really matter. All types share the same problem:  the accumulation of dirt and dust.

And yet, we’re here to tell you that having  sparkling clean tiles  can be child’s play.  There’s a technique  that will allow you to have not only a house with shiny tiles but also with  clear grout lines.

Are you curious to know what we’re talking about?  Few people know about this method  : it’s mainly used by cleaning ladies.

The “magic” technique for shiny floors

In a house,  tiles  are usually the elements that require the most care.  Dirt  accumulates easily on them, not to mention the  grout lines  , which sometimes even become clogged with dust and grime.

There are many  techniques for cleaning tiles  . Those less experienced often use a  damp cloth with special detergents  , but for an excellent finish, it’s necessary to use products that are not necessarily chemical but also natural.

For example,  you can make your own ammonia and water mixture to degrease tiles  . The solution you create will have a strong, pungent odor, so don’t breathe it in for too long.

Use a  sponge  , put on protective gloves, and begin cleaning your surfaces with the product you made. Then dry everything with a clean cloth. Once you’ve done this, you should move on to the most delicate phase: cleaning the  grout  .

A crossroads and delight of every home, and especially a dilemma for women:  how do you clean the grout lines?  On the other hand, much of the dirt accumulates precisely in these gaps where the  tiles meet.

We’re here to help again. There’s  a technique used by cleaning ladies  that will allow you to clean your joints in just a few minutes. Do you know how? To perform this technique, you’ll need  water and powdered grout.

Get yourself a container and put about  100 ml of water in it.  Then add  3 tablespoons of mortar powder and mix the mixture : you will see that a solid and almost elastic solution  will be created   .

With this solution,  clean the floor as if you were going to wash it  , making sure the mixture penetrates  the grout lines.  Once you’ve done this,  wash the floor normally  with your usual cleaning products: you’ll see that  your grout lines will be white and clean  . Did you know about this method?

However, there are other methods you can use to  clean floors and grout.  Are you familiar with the newspaper technique , for example   ? Take some magazine or newspaper pages,  soak them in a mixture of water and ammonia  , and start rubbing them on your tiles: they’ll be shiny in no time.

Another technique instead of cleaning the joints is to create  an apple cider vinegar solution.  Simply mix half a glass of water with half a glass of apple cider vinegar and rub it into the joints for 10 minutes.

After this time, remove the mixture with boiling water. Baking soda  can  also help you get  shiny, clean tiles  : add two tablespoons to a cup of hot water and clean the tiles with this solution. That’s it! With a few simple steps, your tiles and grout will look  brand new  !
