Your shower is one of the hardest working areas of your home. Its sole purpose is to keep you, your family, and your furry friends clean. You might even use it to hand wash items you can’t throw in the machine. When the resulting wear and tear starts to reveal itself, it’s time to clean things up. Luckily, Cosmopolitan Carpet & Rug Cleaning in Arlington, TX, knows a thing or two about tile and grout cleaning. Their professional staff can remove the toughest of stains, and they’re offering their best tips below.

Surface Cleaning

First, you need to clean the surface of the tiles and grout. You can do this by using hot water and a mild shower scrubbing cleaner from the store. Once the surface is clean, focus primarily on the grout. Scrub the porous surface with hot water and a hard-bristled brush. This will loosen particles from the grout and you’ll instantly notice a difference. However, never use a metal brush—this can scratch your tiles and chip the grout. Rinse your shower thoroughly when done.

Remove Stubborn Stains

For stubborn stains, mix two parts baking soda and one part water until they form a paste. Apply the paste to stained areas and let it sit overnight. The next day, slip on your tile and grout cleaning gloves, scrub the treated areas, and rinse the dirt away. 

Prevent Future Stains

Once you’ve removed all the stains from your tile and grout, let the shower dry for 24 hours. Finally, apply a grout sealer to prevent future stains. In no time at all, your bathroom will look as good as new!
