Keeping your shower tile spick and span can be a challenge. Soap scum, lime build-up, and mold can all build up on your tile and leave it looking dingy. Fortunately, with a few simple steps, your shower tile can be restored to its former glory in no time.
The first step is to give the tile a good scrub. Start by filling a bucket with warm water and adding a few drops of dish soap. Dip a sponge into the soapy water and scrub the tiles, paying special attention to areas where soap scum and mildew are present. If you have particularly tough areas, you may need to use a scrub brush or a toothbrush to get them clean. Once you’re done scrubbing, rinse the tile with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
If you have hard water, you may need to use a vinegar solution to remove the lime deposits. To make the solution, mix equal parts white vinegar and warm water. Dip a sponge into the solution and scrub the tile, paying special attention to areas with lime deposits. Rinse the tile with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
For mold, use a solution of two parts water and one part bleach. Dip a sponge into the solution and scrub the tile, paying special attention to areas with mold. If the mold is particularly stubborn, you may need to let the solution sit on the tile for a few minutes before scrubbing. Rinse the tile with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Finally, to keep your shower tile looking its best, use a mild cleaner to wipe down the tile after each use. This will prevent soap scum and mildew from building up and will keep your tile looking shiny and new.
