Imagine taking off your shoes when you get home from a long day and—whoops! It's a slip-and-slide, so you're slipping on your own floor. We've all been there, obsessed by the shaky evidence of a cleanup that was required. Let's discuss how to make those tiles sparkle.
A great cleaning starts with the right equipment. It's not about going to town and grabbing the nearest sponge. Not quite! You'll need soft brushes, high-quality cleaning supplies, and those elbow-strengthening days at the gym. Have you ever tried baking soda and vinegar?

Let me remind you of your grandmother's soap recipe in relation to home cures. The one with the little lemon zest? It turns out that she was quite knowledgeable about housekeeping. However, don't take my word for it. Dave, who lives next door, used just that to create a perfect masterpiece out of his soiled kitchen tiles.
However, to get straight to the point, high traffic locations are where the main issues begin. I'm looking at you, kitchen doors and access!

Additionally, don't be afraid to allow the kids to compete in "how many tiles can you clean in a minute?" games.
Not to mention the lines of grout! They are frequently used as the background for some rather unsightly etchings, which resemble dirt Jackson Pollocks. Put on a toothbrush. Very seriously. It appears that those bristles were created specifically for grouting. Scub-a-dub-dub!
