How to clean bathroom wall tiles properly with white vinegar?
Tiling is a pleasant tiling that is very popular for its practical and aesthetic side. However, when it comes into contact with water, especially in the bathroom, limestone deposits are deposited there to give way to an unsightly white veil. Insensitive to conventional chemical products, these limestone remains deserve to use our famous white vinegar ! Let’s see how it works…

Due to its concentration in acetic acid, white vinegar is the best ally for deep descaling of tiles. Indeed, the limestone base melts in the acid of the vinegar producing a certain chemical reaction. The result: the mixture of these two components becomes salt and water that is easy to rinse off.

In our case, all you have to do is pour a glass of white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it all over the wall. It is also possible to pour it directly onto a sponge and rub the contaminated surfaces.

Then dry the surface with a clean, dry cloth without rinsing, as long as the smell is neutral and not overpowering.

That’s it, it’s done, the limescale deposits are gone and your tiles shine like never before!
