The kitchen is one place where cleanliness and hygiene matter the most. However, frequent cooking often leads to stubborn stains—especially on kitchen tiles—that can be tricky to remove. These tiles bear the brunt of cooking oil, greasy vegetables, and curries, leaving them looking dull and grimy.

To ensure your kitchen tiles are spick and span, here’s a look at some of the easiest ways with which you could get rid of stains:

Lemon Juice and Salt Scrub: Lemon works wonderfully as a cleaning agent. The citric acid in lemon, when combined with the natural power of salt, helps get rid of sticky stains. Considered a natural disinfectant, it also leaves a pleasant smell in the kitchen. Squeeze lemon juice in a bowl, mix it with salt, let it rest for a few minutes, and use a sponge to clean the surface.

Baking Soda and Water: Just like lemon, baking soda is considered to be an effective cleaning agent. Take 5-6 tablespoons of water and add 2 teaspoons of baking soda, mixing it well for consistency. Use a toothbrush to apply the paste on the surface for a few minutes and wipe it off with water to find a shiny, spotless surface.

Vinegar Spray: Mix vinegar with water to make a spray. Wipe your tiles with a wet cloth, spray the mix on the surface, and wait for the solution to sit for a while before cleaning the stains with a sponge. White vinegar is a natural acid that effectively removes grease from tiles. It works as a natural disinfectant and adds fragrance to the kitchen.

Cornflour and Vinegar: Cornflour absorbs oil, and when its two tablespoons are mixed with white vinegar, its effectiveness in cleaning stains multiplies. Apply it on tiles and leave it for a few minutes to see how effectively it gets rid of oil and dirt. Wipe the surface with water once done.

Dishwashing Liquid and Water: If the stains are light, use a few drops of dishwashing liquid, mix it with hot water, and wipe clean the kitchen tiles. It helps clear light stains easily on all kinds of surfaces, making them appear sparkly and impressive.
