1. Is baking soda safe for all tile types?
Yes—baking soda is safe for ceramic, porcelain, and most stone tiles. However, avoid using vinegar on natural stone like marble or granite.
2. Can I use this method on colored grout?
Absolutely! Baking soda is gentle and won’t bleach colored grout.
3. How often should I clean with baking soda?
Weekly cleaning is ideal for high-use areas. For light maintenance, once every two weeks is sufficient.
4. Will the mixture disinfect my tiles?
Baking soda cleans effectively but isn’t a disinfectant. Adding vinegar or a few drops of tea tree essential oil provides mild antimicrobial benefits.
5. Does the paste remove tough stains?
Yes—combined with gentle scrubbing, the paste lifts dirt, grime, and even mild discoloration on grout and tile surfaces.
