Best way to clean unglazed tile floor

thaKing · Mar 14, 2023

As the title states, I have unglazed tile flooring and there are stubborn dirt spots. I've used a fiber mop to get dust and debris up. I've used a combination of white vinegar and water to wet mop the floor, but the dirt spots remain. I believe using something like Scrubbing Bubbles is not wise as it is abrasive, is that correct? I'm looking for some cleaner, or concoction I can make, to clean the stubborn spots.

Floor steamer followed by a towel wiping.

I have seen people use the steamer with a point nozzel and clean the grout. Depending on the source you could be looking at regrouting when your done cleaning.

@Gcraay something like this? Bissell Power Fresh Steam Mop with Natural Sanitization, Floor Steamer, Tile Cleaner, and Hard Wood Floor Cleaner with Flip-Down Easy Scrubber, 1940A https://a.co/d/2Y1II0h

@SW Dweller I'm not looking to regrout, so if a steamer is going to force me to grout again, then that's not an option.

@Gcraay is the example above similar to what you are referring to?

Steam cleaning depends on the condition of the grout and how aggressive you are in cleaning.

Grout is like new. I simply want to clean the tile and was told to avoid abrasive cleaners.
