DIY How to Clean Kitchen Tile Like a Pro

Get all the cracks squeaky clean.

Cleaning your kitchen tile effectively on a regular basis will prevent you from needing to get on your hands and knees to scrub the grout very often. Usually, you won't need cleaning products to clean your kitchen tile. Water will work wonders on tile because it is such a smooth and shiny surface.

Instructions

1. Fill a bucket with warm, clear water.

2. Dip your mop into the water and wring it out.

3. Mop your floor in a methodical pattern. Don't walk on the just-mopped section.

4. If the water begins to look murky and dirty, dump the bucket and get some more water.

5. Clean any tile back splashes and counters in the same manner, using a rag instead of a mop.

6. Use this damp mop method on your tile once a week.

Tips & Warnings

• When spills happen, wipe them up as soon as possible.

• Dust or sweep your tile often. Everyday maintenance will save you from scrubbing the floors later.

• If plain water won't do the job, use a capful of rubbing alcohol in a gallon of water. This will help clean grime and stains from the grout in your ceramic tile.
