If this surface that is usually near bathrooms can be cleaned with a little effort, it is important to pay attention to the joints. This edge should be cleaned frequently so that it does not tarnish and turn light gray. To take care of these elements that can frame the white tiles, it is important to have a light hand with cleaning products. And it is not in vain that the latter are porous, not easy to maintain and can, if not cleaned enough, give off bad odors and accumulate mold.
What is the first step before cleaning the joints of these floors in the bathrooms?
Before cleaning the joints made of this material, characterized by its tightness, it is necessary to start by cleaning the interior. And for good reason, if the latter is dirty, this dirty floor covering will spread over the edges which will have difficulty getting clean again. You can clean this surface with baking soda, known for its abrasive properties that allow you to find a shiny white. The most difficult to clean tile joints are usually found near water inlets, behind the faucet or in the corners of the wall. If this sometimes slip-resistant floor contains damaged joints, it will be necessary to seek the services of a tile installer who will excavate the joints and use joint compound. If the latter is no longer functional, you can remove it with a grinder to clean the wall.
How to clean the tile and stone joint with natural products?
Without using chemicals, it is possible to clean an old or new tile, despite its porosity. Certain natural ingredients can make a marble or stone tile shine and therefore make the house easy to clean in an economical and planet-friendly way. White vinegar is also indicated for cleaning a bathtub as it is for maintaining this type of floor that accumulates difficult stains. To maintain exterior and interior tiles, soak a microfiber sponge in this acidic solution and wipe.
