Certain tips to clean the tiles and grout of your house properly: Part I
rnWe all like to decorate our house in a way that it looks good. We color and furnish it as we want it and sometimes we beautify it by placing tiles on the floor and the walls. We have to keep in mind whether the place and the color of that particular part is going well with the tiles or not. The tiles not only enhance the beauty of your house, but also protects your walls and floor from getting damp and damaged.
rnBut, though it seems pretty clean and fine, dirt and dust particles get trapped into the pours and partitions of the tiles and settle down with the time which cannot be removed by the daily mopping and cleaning method. This thing not only makes the tiles look dirty and stained, but also pollutes the environment. Especially, if the tiles are placed on the floor and walls of the kitchen and the washroom, then the filth can cause serious health problems.
rnSo, now you are confused about what to do. Whether to clean it by yourself or to call a cheap tile and grout cleaning Melbourne service. You will have a couple of minutes to think, but before that, you have to know that you yourself can clean it if you know some proper tricks and follow certain strategies.
rnGrouts and stains are rigid and don’t go easily. There are some do's and Don’ts to maintain in order to get rid of these firm spots. Let’s see the ways first, through which you can clean it properly.
The different types of grout & tile cleaning procedures Before calling any cheap tile and grout cleaning Melbourne Company, try to clean the tiles using white vinegar-
Mix water and vinegar with a ratio of 2:1 and add some drops of dish washer and sprinkle the solution on the grout and leave it for 15 minutes to half an hour. Take a wet sponge or cloth and spray a little bit of baking soda to soften the grout with the acidity of the vinegar. Then wash it away with clean water.
rnThe only problem is, this cannot be applied on the marble, limestone or other alkaline stone and travertine as they may react with the acid.
rnYou can do this process in a little different way. Fill up the 1/3 portion of a bucket with lukewarm water and add 1/4 cup of white vinegar, 1/3 cup of ammonia and 1/2 cup of baking soda. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and sprinkle over the grout and let it get settled and after a couple of minutes, start scrubbing with a big brush and rub the nooks with an old toothbrush. Wash it with water.
