The best trick for clean kitchen tiles in a simple and lasting way is to do it frequently. Sometimes, due to lack of time, we let more weeks go by than recommended between cleaning and cleaning and that makes the task more complicated and means that if we do not take great care, the results are worse and the tiles get dirty again sooner than expected. we would like.
The tricks or the products that we must use to clean the tiles in the kitchen and those in the bathroom are not exactly the same. Although there are some that are common, today we are going to focus on the first ones. Kitchen tiles have a tendency to get dirty with grease and fumes that come off when cooking, that no matter how good our extractor hood, to a lesser or greater extent, they always end up being deposited on the walls. That is why we say that it is convenient to clean frequently, it is easier to keep them clean and free of grease, than to remove it when the yellow color is already visible on the tiles.
If we take the worst case scenario and the tiles have become very dirty, to start cleaning we can use any fat remover product of those that we find for sale in the market and also a solution in water of any of the most conventional cleaning products such as baking soda, vinegar, rubbing alcohol, or even ammonia. In any case we will have to rub, perhaps not once but two or three times and rinse with cloths soaked in plenty of water.
All in all, now we will see some options that can, in a certain way, help us to simplify the task, but the trick most interesting, for me, and that I always put into practice is the use of glass cleaner as final product which will assure us brightness excellent and that the cleaning lasts longer because that layer of glass cleaner will act in a certain way as a grease repellent, preventing our tiles from getting dirty quickly.
As with other surfaces, yes, there is a type of cleaner that can help us a lot when it comes to simplifying the task of cleaning grease and minimizing the use of detergents and chemical products, the steam cleaner it is faster and more ecological and is specially indicated for this use, also having accessories for large surfaces and corners. The one in the photo is the Taurus steam cleaner that is priced at 40 euros.

As for other utensils that can help us in the tile cleaning is the special mop for tiles that can be more comfortable than a cloth and is worth 8.99 euros at Leroy Merlin, the problem in my case is the lack of space. Although I would buy all the items that can help me in each case, the reality is that I don’t have space at home to store them… In this same vein, there are those who use the toothbrush to clean the joints of the tiles, if the joints are very dirty we can even try an old electric brush head before throwing it away, in this case our effort will be minimal because the brush will do most of the work.
