Having a clean floor is already satisfying, but having perfectly clean tile joints completely changes the appearance of a house. Even if you wash the floor regularly, the joints often remain dark, gray or black because dirt builds up on them over time. Fortunately, there is a simple trick to cleaning the floor and joints in a single pass, without harsh chemicals.
In this article, you will discover an effective, economical and easy method to do at home.
Why do joints turn black?
Tile joints are usually made of a porous material. This means they absorb:
- Dust
- Fat
- Humidity
- Soap residue
- Bacteria
