Clean A Tile Floor In A Restroom

Clean floor tiles brighten the entire bathroom.

Tile on a restroom floor attracts dirt and odors from dusting powders, hairspray and soap residue. Bodily fluids, mold and mildew not only affect how your floors look, they also pose a health hazard. Unless the residue is removed from your tile floor, it will look dull and grimy, especially where grout is located. Maintaining the cleanliness of your tile floor is important for aesthetic and hygienic reasons, and by using a few common household cleaning items, the tile on your restroom floor will be sparkling clean in no time.

Instructions

1. Remove all items from your restroom floor before cleaning. These include throw rugs, hampers, bathroom scales and trash cans.

2. Vacuum all traces of loose dust, hair and dirt, making sure to focus on the corners and in-between tiles, where debris collects. Use your vacuum's crevice tool attachment to

vacuum in areas where the toilet, bathtub and vanity meet the floor.

3. Mix powdered oxygen cleaner with hot water per labeling instructions, making sure the solution is dissolved thoroughly before using it. Oxygen cleaner not only cleans and deodorizes, it also disinfects.

4. Wet the floor with your solution, allowing it to soak in for 20 minutes before mopping. This will allow its stain-fighting properties to work on brightening the tile and grout. Do not over saturate the tiles because it'll be hard to remove the excess solution.

5. Firmly scrub the grout with your soft-bristled brush to remove embedded dirt and residue buildup, then mop the entire floor with the sponge mop. When scrubbing around caulked area around the tub and toilet, avoid vigorous scrubbing because this might dislodge the silicone caulking.

6. Rinse the floor with your clean damp sponge mop. Keep mopping and squeezing the liquid out of your mop into the bucket until most of the liquid has been absorbed from the tile floor. Repeat the process until all the excess water is gone.

7. Wipe down the tile floor with a lint-free absorbent towel to remove any residual film and moisture, while detailing corners, baseboards and radiators.
