How to Pre-Treating Soap Scum Before Clean Shower Tile?

Cleaning your shower tiles is simple, but it may take some time depending on how dirty they are. Start by pre-treating the tiles with a water-vinegar solution. Then apply a baking soda paste to the small tiles and use a stiff bristle brush to scrub away scum, mildew, and grime. Prevent future buildup by drying your tiles four to fives times a week after showering.

Run your shower on a high temperature. Let the hot water run for at least 10 minutes. The hot water will open the tile’s pores, making it easier to clean. Mix 1 part vinegar to 1 part water in a bowl. Mix the ingredients together in the bowl until they are well-combined. Then fill a spray bottle with the solution.

Spray the solution onto your shower tiles. Make sure to spray more solution onto dirtier areas, as well as the spaces in between the tiles design, i.e., the grout. Since you will be using this solution later on, do not use up all of the solution at this point, or make more solution as you clean.

Let the solution set for five minutes. This will loosen the soap scum. Depending on how dirty your tiles are, you may need to let the solution set for 30 minutes or longer. Scrub the soap scum. Use a stiff bristle brush or a grout brush to do this. This will further loosen the soap scum, making the only tiles easier to clean.

Rinse with warm water. Do this by turning your shower on again. Use a lower temperature setting. However, the water should still be warm. Alternatively, you can use a bucket or a pitcher to rinse the tiles.

Squeegee your tiles. Do this by keeping a squeegee in your bathroom. Squeegee your bathroom tiles five to seven times a week after showering. Make sure to squeegee corners and crevices. Dry your casstle tiles with a towel. Keep a specially designated towel handy in your bathroom to do this. Dry your tiles off five to seven times a week after showering.
