Zero-Chemical Tile Cleaning: Four Pantry Staples That Work

Why Skip Harsh Acids?

Acidic cleaners can erode grout, dull glossy ceramic tiles Philippines, and stain natural stone. Pantry staples solve 80 % of messes without damage.

Staple #1 Baking Soda + Dish Soap

  • Ratio 3:1 into a paste.

  • Scrub grout with old toothbrush; rinse after 5 min. Removes oily film on tiles for kitchen walls.

Staple #2 Warm Vinegar Rinse

  • 1 part white vinegar, 2 parts water.

  • Spray on kitchen backsplash tiles Philippines after frying; cuts grease.

Staple #3 Fresh Lemon Buff

  • Half a lemon rubbed on glazed tile lifts limescale.

  • Rinse after one minute to avoid etching.

Staple #4 Fine Salt for Showers

  • Sprinkle salt on damp floor; scrub with soft brush.

  • Natural abrasive removes soap scum, safe for bathroom tiles for small spaces.

What Not to Mix

Never mix vinegar and bleach—releases toxic chlorine gas.

Weekly Maintenance Routine

  1. Sweep/vacuum dust.

  2. Warm water mop with a drop of dish soap.

  3. Spot-treat grout once a month.
