Seventy-three percent of Americans say they hate cleaning their homes, according to a survey, and shower tiles often rank among the trickiest areas to maintain. Soap scum, mildew, and hard water stains can accumulate quickly, leaving your once-beautiful tile shower looking dull and uninviting.
Here at The Groutsmith of Boise, we specialize in restoring tile and grout to their original beauty. While maintaining a clean tile shower is essential, it can be challenging without the right approach. Here’s our expert advice on how to clean a shower tile and keep your shower spotless while protecting your grout.
How to Clean a Tile Shower
Cleaning a tile shower involves several straightforward steps that can restore its shine and cleanliness. First, gather your shower cleaning products:
- A non-acidic cleaner
- A scrub brush
- A microfiber cloth
- A bucket of warm water
Start by removing any personal items, such as shampoo bottles and loofahs, from the shower. Next, spray the non-acidic cleaner evenly over the tile and grout, ensuring you cover all areas, especially where soap scum and mildew tend to accumulate. Allow the cleaner to sit for about 5 to 10 minutes to break down the grime.
After soaking, use a scrub brush to gently scrub the tile and grout. Pay special attention to corners and grout lines, where buildup is most likely to occur. Rinse the surfaces thoroughly with warm water to remove any residue.
Finally, wipe down the tiles with a microfiber cloth to remove excess moisture and prevent water spots. For best results, repeat this cleaning process regularly to keep your tile shower looking fresh and inviting.
