Get matched with top grout and tile cleaning pros in Dunseith, ND

You can definitely regrout your backsplash without removing the tile. Much like regrouting a tile floor, you’ll have to remove the original grout carefully with a grout removal blade on a multi-tool or a dremel tool, being careful not to damage the surrounding tile. To get all of the grout, you’ll probably have to use a utility knife to get any stubborn pieces. Once the grout is removed, you can clean the area thoroughly and then add your new grout.

Coca-Cola isn’t a very effective method for cleaning toilet bowl stains on its own. The idea is that since it contains carbonic, citric, and phosphoric acids, it can wipe out your hard water stains after sitting for a few hours. While it can work on lighter stains if you heat it, let it sit overnight, and scrub your toilet, it’s unlikely to make a noticeable difference on stubborn stains.

While your solo bathroom may not get as much traffic, it’s still important to clean it regularly. Weekly cleans should suffice for all the high-use areas (i.e., toilet, sink, shower, floor, etc.), with monthly cleans in all the hard-to-reach places like the cupboards and grout. Remember, just because you live alone doesn’t mean your bathroom is exempt from germs and bacteria. 

You can use a combination of mild soap and hot water to clean ceramic tile floors, walls, and other surfaces. When you’re cleaning a floor, it’s best to use a rag or chamois rather than a sponge mop, which can push dirt deeper into the grout. If the soap leaves any residue, use a mildly acidic cleaner to remove it.
