How to Clean and Shine Tiles?

Some materials need care and lose their shine over time. This is especially true for terracotta, cement, and even ceramic tiles. And of all natural ingredients, linseed oil is undoubtedly the best for caring for these tiles! However, be careful: just a few drops on a clean cloth are enough to make the tiles shine, without turning them into an ice rink. So be careful and let the oil absorb well into the floor while drying. You can then reapply as needed.

2 – POTATO COOKING WATER

When cooking, don’t throw away the cooking water from boiled potatoes. Instead, use it to clean tiles. The starch contained in this solution absorbs the grease sticking to the surface. This process is recommended once a month to maintain the shine of the tiles.

3 – BLACK SOAP IS A NATURAL MULTI-SURFACE CARE PRODUCT

If black soap is essential for fans of the D-system, it’s because it’s an excellent cleaning agent. The reason: it’s a degreasing and disinfecting agent, suitable for tiles, linoleum, and even parquet. Its advantage is that it not only cleans dirty and dusty floors but also gives a touch of shine that you can’t do without. To benefit from this mixture of oil and black olives, you need to mix it with a liter of water in a bucket. If you want a flawless home, grab a mop and gently scrub each floor. Magical, right?

4 – WHITE VINEGAR
