Cracks, chips, stains, and worn-out sealant are common issues requiring repair.

Most toilet bowl stains aren’t permanent. They can be extremely stubborn, but the right cleaner typically clears them up and makes your porcelain throne look as good as new. The best way to clean toilet stains is to determine what’s causing them and use the most appropriate solution. If you’re unsure what type of stain you’re facing, a professional cleaner can help.

When cleaning porcelain tiles, avoid products that contain ammonia, bleach, and other harsh chemicals. Acid-based cleansers can damage the tile, though you can clean them with a diluted mixture of one-quarter cup white vinegar mixed with one gallon of hot water. It is important always to use a soft-bristled brush or sponge, since hard bristles and steel wool can scratch the tile.

The best method for keeping your grout clean depends on the level of staining or discoloration. For light cleaning, use warm water and a stiff brush (specifically made for cleaning grout). 

Tougher jobs call for a one-to-one solution of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray the area down, wait 5 to 10 minutes, then scrub with your brush. For even more cleaning power, add water to baking soda until it creates a paste and apply it before the vinegar. If the mess is too much, you can call a local tile and grout cleaner.
