 :neutral: I sometimes use Ajax and clorox.

We just got new tile in our shower -  from tub to shower. Not completely done yet. I see the shiny glow kinda went out wonder what I can do to restore it back. Think there is a liquid you spray on it to make it glow again  ;D

I don't really have any good one to suggest, I just use whatever cleaner is available.

I usually use baking soda followed by a rinse and then a going over with the Shark handheld steamer but found an "easier" way last weekend.  Found this recipe online:  Put 1 cup white distilled vinegar in the microwave for 90 seconds.   Pour into a bowl & mix in 1 cup blue original Dawn dishsoap.  Pour into a spray bottle and spray on the tile/tub.  Let sit for 2 hours and rinse.

When I first sprayed it on, I was aggravated because I thought I just wasted a whole cup of Dawn and having to wait 2 hours annoyed me.  Two hours later....I was impressed enough with the results to say I will definitely do this again.  Hardly no scrubbing at all, so much easier!!

This sounds like a solution I'd want to try. I just use Scrubbing Bubbles right now.

I have not done this, but was told pouring peroxide and letting it sit a while on tile and grout would clean it.
