For Stronger Cleaning Power: If your tiles need more heavy-duty cleaning, increase the amount of baking soda (up to 1/2 cup) and vinegar to create a thicker paste. Apply the paste to stains, leave it for 10-15 minutes, and scrub before rinsing.
For a Natural Fragrance: Choose essential oils like peppermint or eucalyptus to not only freshen the air but also add antibacterial properties to your tile cleaner.
For a Shine Boost: Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the mixture for an extra layer of shine on ceramic or porcelain tiles.
