Alpo Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Every place I have ever lived, prior to here, had a bathtub. And they were all porcelain on steel. I cleaned them with Comet. My new house has a shower. It has both tile walls and a tile floor. I cleaned the soap scum from the glossy tile walls with Scrubbing Bubbles. But they had no effect on the matt tile floor. I have not tried the Comet, because I don't know what effect it will have, and I certainly do not wish to damage the tile. As you can see, they are stained. Does anyone know how to remove the stain. The tile is beige, I guess. Don't wish to try bleach. Might get rid of the dark spots and leave white spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 If it were mine... spray the surfaces repeatedly with vinegar and let it It soak for a few days to loosen lime/ calcium accumulation. Rinse thoroughly and scrub with Comet. You DO NOT want vinegar and chlorine containing cleansers to contact each other. Chlorine gas will be released and that is dangerous. Sloshing a bleach solution in there periodically after you get it cleaned up will help keep it clean, but you are still going to have to scrub it every so often.

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 No amount of Comet or chlorine will damage that kind of tile. The color and finish are baked on during manufacturing and is impervious to most substances except grit like sand et al. Go ahead and scrub it like your old tubs.

Kid Rich Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Alcohol peroxide and Murphys oil soap. What we used to use for muzzle loaders. Works great especially on the grout. kR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 You’ve lived there for how long? And just now the tile in the shower is bothering you? Already cleaned every other place in the house? It’s about time to get out of the house regularly again, take the dog on longer walks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack, SASS #20451 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 That looks like regular fired clay tile. Porcelain tile is cleaned differently. You might try "Bartender's Friend" cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you might can tell from the picture - the thickness of the lenses - I'm blind as a bat. Took a while before the stain got so obvious that I could see it without my glasses.
