Creating the Cleaning Paste: In a small bowl, mix baking soda with enough water to form a thick, spreadable paste. Start with a 1:1 ratio of baking soda to water and adjust as needed.
Pre-Cleaning Surface Preparation:
Sweep or vacuum the tiled area to remove loose dirt and debris. This prevents the paste from becoming muddy and ensures effective cleaning.
Applying the Paste:
Using a soft sponge or cloth, apply the baking soda paste onto the tiles. For tougher stains or grout lines, an old toothbrush can be used for targeted application.
Scrubbing:
Gently scrub the tiles with the paste, paying extra attention to stained or discolored areas. Allow the paste to sit for a few minutes to let it work its magic.
Rinsing:
Rinse the tiles thoroughly with warm water to remove the baking soda residue. Use a clean, damp cloth or sponge to wipe away any remaining residue.
Drying and Inspecting: Allow the tiles to air dry or use a clean cloth to speed up the process. Inspect the tiles for any missed spots or areas that may require additional attention.
