How to clean bathroom tiles quickly and effectively
My house is my castle. This saying perfectly encapsulates our desire to feel secure in our own homes. Hygiene plays a crucial role in this sense of safety. In this article, we’ll discuss how to clean bathroom tiles and how a little effort can provide robust protection against dirt, bacteria, buildup, and other unpleasant surprises that might await us daily.
Firstly, porcelain tiles are a reliable partner in this battle: due to their manufacturing process, they don’t absorb or retain moisture, preventing the growth of harmful bacteria and fungi. They are resistant to chemical substances: you can confidently clean them with household chemicals without worrying about altering their appearance or causing damage.
Cleaning porcelain tiles. Useful tips.
1.If there are remnants of construction work such as dust, cement traces, grout, and other inorganic pollutants, the best approach is to use specialized acid-based cleaning products for ceramics and porcelain tiles like ITALON A-CID, Litoclean, Keranet, etc., available at any construction store.
Get ready with clean buckets, sponges, and lint-free cloths. Prepare a cleaning solution as per the manufacturer’s instructions and apply it to the dirty area. Let it sit for 5–7 minutes, ensuring it doesn’t dry out.
Then scrub with a sponge to mechanically remove the dirt. Afterwards, rinse the surface with clean water, refreshing it regularly. That’s it!
2.Daily maintenance is even simpler: just rinse the shower or bath tile surface with clean water. If you have a silicone water squeegee, drying the surface becomes even more convenient.
Beyond that, it’s enough to wipe the tiles with a lint-free cloth or soft microfiber once a week.
3.Periodic removal of soap scum and limescale involves using the same household cleaning products for rust and hard water stains that you can find in any cleaning supplies aisle.
Just apply it to the tiles, wait a little, scrub, and rinse with clean water. That’s it! Porcelain stoneware is both practical and dependable.ù
4.Here are some general tips for cleaning bathroom tiles. Mold and fungi thrive in warm, humid conditions. They usually take up residence in the grout lines and on sealants, but they tend to avoid porcelain and ceramic tiles.
To prevent these unwelcome guests in your bathroom, ensure good ventilation during the renovation stage so that you can quickly circulate air and eliminate steam after your hygiene routine.
LET’S SUMMARIZE.
Porcelain stoneware is an ideal choice for bathrooms, and it’s incredibly easy to maintain. After all, clean warm water and a cloth are always within reach, and that’s usually all you need. In some cases, you might add a mild acid solution, but generally, it’s not required.
Depending on the type of dirt, you can select a specialized cleaning product from construction stores or authorized Italon sales points. For advice on how to remove stubborn stains, refer to the “Porcelain Stoneware Cleaning Tips” section.
