Another awesome tile floor cleaning tip: Potato Cooking Water! Yes, but with a mop and not a handle brush.
Once you’ve cooked your potatoes, don’t throw away the water! It will be very useful for washing your floor. It may sound a bit strange, but the starch and minerals that give it a grainy, whitish appearance are great for treating stains on your floor.
Leave to act for a few minutes before rinsing with hot water with a clean, well-wrung mop.

Unlike the other products mentioned in this article, you won’t need to rinse it after using it. You only need to clean the treated part. For this you will need:
- 2 tablespoons of liquid black soap;
- 5 liters of hot water.
Mix everything together in a large bucket, then clean the stain or floor with a mop, and voila!
What about tile steam cleaners, like the steam mop?
Indeed, thanks to the action of steam, cleaning is done very quickly but without leaving a pleasant smell of Marseille soap or other natural products such as essential oils that you can add to your bucket of hot water for a more classic wash of your floor.
Be careful, however, with the risk of burns with these types of accessories. The main disadvantage of the steam mop is the danger associated with the degree of heat of the steam. Dear readers, drive carefully.
