How To Clean Kitchen Tiles

Cleaning kitchen tiles is easy when done regularly as it avoids any nasty grease build up.

• Firstly run a bowl full of hot soapy water. Use dishwashing soap as it's a great degreaser, look how clean it gets your pots and pans!

• Take a microfibre cloth and dampen it in the water then wring it out. If the tiles are particularly greasy then add an extra squirt of washing up liquid to the cloth.

• Wipe over the tiles and grout using the cloth. Give any tiles that are very greasy or sticky an extra rub.

• Once the tiles have be wiped with soapy water, wipe over them again with fresh clean hot water to rinse away the soapy residue.

• Then dry the kitchen tiles with a soft cloth or towel and buff up to a shine with a clean microfibre cloth or clean cloth.
