Have you found that your bathroom becomes dirty quickly after cleaning it? If you hate scrubbing bathroom tile, here’s some good news — you may be doing it more often than you need to. Follow these easy habits to keep your floors cleaner for longer and check this chore off your list.

3 Tips for Cleaning Bathroom Tile

1. Do Daily Wipe Downs 

If you drop some toothpaste or get hair on the floor wipe it up immediately. Dirt and grime are much more difficult to clean when it has built up over time. Also, immediately cleaning up spills preserves the life of your bathroom tile. Flooring experts recommend doing a quick mop once a week to keep it shining.

2.  Use a High-Quality Cleaner

One reason your floors may be getting dirty so fast is because your sanitation products aren’t doing their job. Bathroom tile should not be cleaned with regular soap or detergent, as these can cause mildew growth. Get a cleaning solution with a neutral pH that’s compatible with grout and doesn’t contain acid or ammonia. Unfortunately, many products don’t list all ingredients on their labels, so talk to a professional about the best one for your bathroom.

3. Use Protective Mats

Bathroom carpets act as a protective layer for your flooring. When these get dirty, they can be picked up and thrown in the wash, allowing you to skip scrubbing for another week or two. Choose mats that have high-absorbent properties, so water doesn’t soak into the floor after your shower or bath.
