Cleaning bathroom tiles in Hull

Yorkshire is well-known for its hard water supply, so the cleaning of tiles in Hull and the surrounding area can be a harder job than it is in other parts of the country.

And yet, with these few simple tips, you will have your tiles gleaming like new again.

Soap and water are, unfortunately, two of the worst substances that can spread on tiles but these preventative measures will help your bathroom to avoid the worst that these can offer.

Soap mixes with body oils to become soap scum, which can leave behind a film residue on bathroom tiles. One way to avoid this is to use shower gel or liquid soap, rather than a standard solid soap.

Or, you can use products which dissolve the soap scum and make it easy for you to remove. If your soap scum is quite thick, you could try scraping it off using a plastic putty knife. This won’t damage your tiles and is a useful tool to have in your armoury.

Water can cause water spots which can turn into mould on your grout if not treated quickly. There are two ways of curing this; make sure you wipe down and dry your tiles and grout immediately after taking a shower or bath, and use an extractor fan in your bathroom if you have one.

If you do find that your tiles are suffering from mould, then vinegar is the trick to use. Soak a sponge in vinegar and wipe down the tiles and grout with it, making sure to saturate the areas that are particularly mouldy. Leave it to soak in for a while and then rub away with a plastic scrubbing brush.

Cleaning regularly with a spray chlorine bleach will also help to ensure a pristine finish to your tiles and grouting. Make sure the bathroom is well ventilated when using bleach. Then, to give them that added sparkle, wipe your tiles down with a mixture of water and vinegar.

So, if you want your tiles to look as good as when they were first fitted, regular maintenance is the key to a spotless bathroom.
