How to clean the toilet floor effectively

Toilet floors are humid and an ideal environment for bacteria and odors to develop if we don’t clean regularly. Cleaning the toilet floor, on the other hand, is a difficult task. If you’ve ever been confused about choosing the right cleaner for the toilet floor, and spent hours scrubbing it, here’s an article for you. You are wondering how to clean your toilet floor fast and easily while saving time and effort?  We will provide some helpful tips to deep clean your bathroom floor tiles.

1. What is a good cleaner for tile and grout?

The type of cleaner you choose is determined by your requirements. Using commercially available products will bring good results with minimal effort. However, if you want to save money and are concerned about the cleaners’ impact on your health, you can make it yourself at home.

Just make sure to never mix detergent solutions that are not of the same type together, as some substances when combined together can be harmful (e.g., mixed bleach with vinegar). 

• A lot of different brands have specialized cleaners designed to bring brightness to the grout and the toilet floor. If you have to select between multiple alternatives, go for one that includes antifungal characteristics to help decrease mold mass and growth. 
• There are many people who believe in bleach products to clean grout on the floor – and indeed they are very effective for white and light gray tile interlaces. Oxygen and Chlorine bleach are known as the best substances to clean bathroom floor grout, but you must be careful when using them and never use them with black or other colors, as they may fade. Remember to follow the directions on the label when using any cleaning product.
• If you don’t like bleach products, why not try preparing your own cleaner from all-natural ingredients? To make your own effective grout cleaner, simply combine the vinegar and baking soda until they form a slurry mixture so you can easily apply them to tile grout and clean them. Besides, natural detergents such as vinegar and lemon can also remove stains and odors from your toilet floor easily and quickly.

2. How to clean toilet floor and grout

Effective cleaning of bathroom tile floor and grout depends not only on the type of detergent you use; it also depends on the method you use to remove stains. The steps proceed as follows:

• Step 3: Wait about 30 minutes for the bleach to soak up any stains to make wiping clean easier. Use a brush with hard bristles to scrub the grout. Tool stores sell specialty brushes for grout, but you can also use an old toothbrush
• Step 4: Rinse the toilet floor again with clean water and dry.

3. What to keep in mind when cleaning the toilet floor

• Cleaning toilet floor on the final step: If you are wiping the entire bathroom, leave the floor behind. Because water or dirt can fall on it during the cleaning of walls, shelves, etc.
