If you notice footprints or greasy streaks on your tiles after cleaning, it’s likely due to the products or techniques you’re using. To avoid this, follow these tips:
- Use the Right Cleaning Products: Avoid oily or wax-based cleaners that leave residue. Opt for pH-neutral cleaners or a simple vinegar and water solution.
- Proper Mopping Technique: Use a damp mop, not a wet one, and dry the floor immediately to prevent streaks.
- Regular Maintenance: Sweep daily and mop weekly to prevent dirt buildup.
Removing Grease from Tiles
For stubborn grease:
- Mix baking soda with dish soap and warm water to form a paste. Scrub greasy spots, then rinse and dry.
- Alternatively, spray a mixture of vinegar and water onto the tiles, let it sit, then wipe it clean.
Shine Tiles and Clean Grout with Baking Soda
For tile grout:
- Mix 4 tablespoons of baking soda with white vinegar in a spray bottle. Spray it on the grout, let it sit for 24 hours, scrub with a brush, rinse, and enjoy clean grout and shiny tiles.
To prevent grout from getting dirty again, apply a protective sealant.
These easy steps will keep your tiles looking clean and streak-free!
