Bathroom is a wet zone, so it collects dirt pretty quickly and requires regular cleaning.
Floor tiles can collect lots of dust and dirt, and you should clean them without damagin the tiles.
Here are a few tips on how to do that.
Prep the Area
Start by removing any items from the bathroom floor, such as mats or trash cans. This gives you clear access to the tiles.
Sweep or Vacuum
Begin by sweeping the floor to remove loose dirt, dust, and hair. Alternatively, you can use a vacuum cleaner with a hard floor setting.
Mix Soapy Water
Fill a bucket with warm water and add a small amount of mild dish soap. The soap will help break down grime and stains.
Dampen the Mop
Dip a mop into the soapy water and then wring it out well. You want the mop to be damp but not dripping wet.
Mop the Floor
Start mopping from one corner of the bathroom and work your way toward the exit. This prevents you from stepping on the freshly cleaned tiles.
Use gentle, back-and-forth motions to clean the tiles.
Focus on Grout (if needed)
If the grout lines between the tiles are still dirty after mopping, you can scrub them with an old toothbrush or a grout brush.
Dip the brush in the soapy water and scrub the grout lines. Rinse the brush frequently.
Rinse the Floor
Empty the soapy water and refill the bucket with clean, warm water. Use a clean mop or a fresh, damp cloth to go over the floor again.
This rinse step ensures that no soapy residue is left behind.
Dry the Floor
Let the floor air dry or use clean, dry towels or a dry mop to speed up the drying process. This helps prevent slips and falls.
Conclusion
By following these detailed steps, you can effectively clean your bathroom floor tiles and keep them looking fresh and hygienic.
Regular cleaning will also prevent the buildup of grime and stains over time.
