How to clean shower tiles without scrubbing

Both hydrogen peroxide and baking soda are amazing household products with a lot of uses. They are very accessible and cheap so using them for multiple purposes won’t hurt your pocket.

While both of them can be used for different things, when mixed together they are great at cleaning shower tiles. To clean your shower tiles with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide just do the following.

Mix together equal parts baking soda and hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle. Now spray the shower tiles and let the mixture sit on them for 45 minutes. Now rinse the tiles with warm water.

Doing this will get rid of any mold and mildew that was on the tiles. This is also a great way to clean your tile grouts as well.

5. Bleach

Using bleach to clean shower tiles is very effective even though it isn’t the most recommended method. The reason why it isn’t recommended is that bleach is a very harsh chemical. It can irritate your eyes, skin and the smell is also very strong. When using bleach you have to wear gloves, a mask, and goggles.

Now not because it isn’t the most recommended doesn’t mean you can’t use it. You can use Oxi clean liquid stain remover as a bleach substitute. It still has bleach in it but not as much as regular bleach products.

It is also great for cleaning shower tiles without scrubbing too hard. To clean your shower tiles with bleach the first thing you need to do is spray the bleach all over the tiles in your shower (make sure you are wearing gloves and a mask). Allow the bleach to sit on the tiles for 20 minutes. Now rinse off the tiles with warm water. After rinsing the tiles use a dry cloth to wipe away the water. Remember to air the bathroom out whenever you use any bleach products.

Above I showed you how to clean your shower tiles with oxi clean bleach. Now I will show you how to clean them with chlorine bleach.

When using chlorine bleach or any other bleach products be sure to wear gloves, goggles(or any other protective eyewear), and a face mask. So now that you are geared up it is now time for me to show you how to use chlorine bleach to clean your shower tiles.

To clean shower tiles with chlorine bleach you need to pour 1/2 cup of bleach in a spray bottle and also add 2-3 cups of warm water to dilute it. Then spray the bleach onto the shower tiles and let it sit there for a couple of minutes. After doing that just rinse the bleach off the tiles with water.

So as you can see the main difference between using oxi clean bleach and chlorine bleach is that you have to dilute the chlorine bleach so that it isn’t as harsh as before.

6. Bathroom Cleaner

Using regular bathroom cleaners is almost the same as using bleach to clean the tiles in your shower. To clean your shower tiles with a bathroom cleaner spray all you need to do is spray the shower tiles and let the bathroom cleaner sit there for a couple of minutes. Then use a soft microfiber cloth to wipe the shower tiles. Make sure to clean the grout as well. The reason why you should use a microfiber cloth is that it will make your tiles shiny and clean without leaving any streaks.

Now rinse the tiles in your shower with warm water. After rinsing them you should use a dry cloth or cleaning towel to wipe away the moisture.

7. Dawn Dish Soap and Vinegar

We already know that Vinegar is great for cleaning tiles because its acidic content will break down and remove any soap scum stain from them. But dawn dish soap is great for cleaning tiles as well because it will deep clean the tile grout and remove any mold and mildew that was on them.

So when you mix these two together, you’ll have a powerful tile cleaner.

To clean shower tiles with vinegar and dawn dish soap you need to mix dawn dish soap and vinegar in equal amounts into a spray bottle filled with 1/4 cup of warm water. Now spray the mixture onto the tiles and leave the solution on them for 1-2 hours. After that, you can rinse off the solution from the tiles.

Doing this will get rid of all the stains that were on the tiles.

8. Use a Steam cleaner

If you don’t want to use any harsh chemicals, then you should probably get a steam cleaner. A steam cleaner will get the job done by blasting steam directly onto the tiles. While this is a good thing, a steam cleaner costs a lot of money. You can rent one instead, but that will still cost you a good amount of cash.

How to prevent shower tiles from getting dirty

If you want to avoid deep cleaning your shower tiles every month, you might want to start maintaining them regularly.

Here are some tips on how to maintain your shower tiles.

• Always air dry your shower after using it. Doing this will reduce the amount of mold and mildew that usually grows in your shower by a large amount.
• Spray your shower tiles with vinegar at least 2-4 times a week.
