The type of cleaner you choose is determined by your requirements. Using commercially available products will bring good results with minimal effort. However, if you want to save money and are concerned about the cleaners’ impact on your health, you can make it yourself at home.

Just make sure to never mix detergent solutions that are not of the same type together, as some substances when combined together can be harmful (e.g., mixed bleach with vinegar).

Effective cleaning of bathroom tile floor and grout depends not only on the type of detergent you use; it also depends on the method you use to remove stains. The steps proceed as follows:

  • Step 1:  Wipe the entire tile floor with a mop before you begin cleaning. This will aid in the removal of accumulated dirt and make cleaning grout easier.
  • Step 2:  Pour your cleaning solution onto the toilet floor and grout, making sure that the bleach covers all of the areas that need to be cleaned.
  • Step 3: Wait about 30 minutes for the bleach to soak up any stains to make wiping clean easier. Use a brush with hard bristles to scrub the grout. Tool stores sell specialty brushes for grout, but you can also use an old toothbrush
  • Step 4: Rinse the toilet floor again with clean water and dry.

3. What to keep in mind when cleaning the toilet floor

  • Cleaning toilet floor on the final step: If you are wiping the entire bathroom, leave the floor behind. Because water or dirt can fall on it during the cleaning of walls, shelves, etc.
  • Concentrate on cleaning little details: A small broom or a cotton swab can be used to efficiently clean these.
  • Keep the floor dry: Leaving the floor dry will assist to reduce the growth of mold. This also reduces the potential of dangerous slippage.
  • If your toilet has a marble floor, you should only use mild dish soap, as acid products including vinegar can damage the floor. 
  • Maintaining the habit of cleaning the toilet floor is key to keeping the bathroom clean. Because the environment is humid, the bathroom is very prone to mold. This can cause health concerns for you and your family as the bacteria can quickly spread to other areas.

4. How to remove yellow stains on the toilet floor

 

Yellow stains affect toilet aesthetics, even causing unpleasant odors. To clean yellow stains in the toilet completely, you should do and note the following:

  • Use the table salt available in the house and mix it with the toilet floor cleaner. Pour the mixture on the yellow stain on the tile floor and wait about 15 minutes and then flush with clean water.
  • Toothpaste can also help you brush away yellow stains on the tile floor. Apply the toothpaste directly to the yellow stain. Then you mix some baking soda with water. Use a towel to blot the mixture and apply evenly to the stain until the tile floor or grout is clean and white again.
