Vinegar for Tile and Grout Cleaning
For those tough hard water stains that build up from mineral deposits, try the vinegar method.
- Double up a handful of clean paper towels and place them in vinegar to soak.
- Take the saturated paper towels and place them on the affected tiles. Let them stay there for the next eight hours or overnight.
- After they have been on the tile for eight hours, remove the paper towels and throw them away. You should now be able to see a significant difference in the appearance of your tile. You can repeat the process until all water stains are removed. To help keep your tile looking clean and fresh, repeat the process once every couple of months or when you think it necessary.
Cornstarch Methods
If you need to clean up your shower glass doors and get rid of tough hard water stains, try using cornstarch. Most people have this stored in their kitchen with their baking items. Mix ½ cup to 1 cup of cornstarch with water to create a paste. Apply the paste to a rag and gently rub the door/glass. Once you have scrubbed the affected area, use a clean damp rag to remove the residue.
Try Fabric Softener Sheets
Fabric softener sheets can be a great home cleaning method for wiping up soap scum on your shower tile and grout. Take the dryer sheet and apply bar soap to it. Add a little water and use the dryer sheet with a brush to clean up the dried soap scum from your shower area.
Hydrogen Peroxide
Next, you can use the hydrogen peroxide method to help remove grout stains from your shower. Hydrogen peroxide whitens the grout and acts as a bleach. Add some to a spray bottle and apply to the affected tile grout. Let it sit for thirty minutes and scrub clean with a stiff brush.
