At first the tile joints in my bathroom were all white …
But over time, they darkened well...
Way too cra-cra for a cleaning queen like me!
I obviously couldn't leave it like that in my house...
Fortunately, I found a super easy trick to whiten the tile joints that have blackened.
All you need is baking soda and a concentrated multi-purpose cleaner. Watch:
- baking soda
- metal spatula (or an old knife)
- concentrated multi-purpose cleaner
- special tile grout brush
- spray bottle
- microfiber cloth
- mop
- water
1. Mix baking soda and water to make a paste.
2. Apply this paste directly to the tile joints using the spatula.
3. Let this mixture do its magic, for 15 min.
4. In the spray bottle, mix a little water with concentrated multi-purpose cleaner.
5. Spray this mixture directly on the tile joints.
6. Now rub the joints vigorously with the special brush.
7. Wipe off excess baking soda paste and cleanser with the cloth.
8. Repeat as many times as necessary, until your joints regain their whiteness.
And There you go ! You now know the infallible trick for whitening tile joints that have blackened :-)
Convenient, easy and effective, right?
Now you know how to clean blackened tile joints.
The difference between before and after is amazing!
One last wipe to complete the cleaning and your tile joints are like new.
For my bathroom, 4 passes were enough to perfectly whiten all the joints.
Sure, it works for the bathroom, but it's also effective for kitchen or living room tile joints.
Now that your silicone tile joints are all clean, you have to think about protecting them and preventing them from getting dirty again!
The solution is to apply a tile joint sealer like this one.
The waterproofing agent is a colorless and transparent product that offers optimal protection for bathroom tile joints.
A smart little investment that will save you too frequent cleaning!
One last thing:the tiles are very hard. So, remember to protect your knees with a towel folded in half or knee pads while you scrub your tile joints.
