- 1/2 cup of baking soda
- Warm water
- A spray bottle
- A sponge, soft brush, or mop
- A microfiber cloth for polishing
How to Use It:
Step 1: Make a Cleaning Paste
Mix baking soda with a small amount of warm water to create a spreadable paste. It should be thick enough to stick to vertical tiles without dripping.
Step 2: Apply to the Tiles
Using a sponge or soft cloth, spread the paste over the surface of your tiles. Focus on areas with grime buildup, soap scum, or dull spots.
Step 3: Let It Sit
Allow the paste to sit for 5–10 minutes. This gives the baking soda time to lift dirt and break down residues.
Step 4: Scrub Gently
Use a soft brush or sponge to scrub the tiles in circular motions. You’ll notice the grime loosening with minimal effort.
Step 5: Rinse with Water
Wipe down the tiles with clean water using a mop or wet cloth to remove any leftover residue.
Step 6: Buff for Shine
Use a dry microfiber cloth to buff the tiles. This last step brings out a natural shine, leaving your tiles clean and polished.
Bonus Tip:
For tougher stains or mold in grout lines, mix baking soda with white vinegar instead of water. The fizzing action helps lift deep-set dirt and disinfects naturally.
Using baking soda is not only effective but also budget-friendly and environmentally safe. With just one pass, you can restore the sparkle to your tiles and enjoy a fresh, clean home—no toxic chemicals needed.
