Introduction
Did you know that toothpaste can do more than just keep your teeth clean? It’s a powerful, budget-friendly cleaning agent that can make your floor tiles shine like new. Thanks to its mild abrasives and stain-lifting properties, toothpaste works wonders in removing grime, dirt, and stubborn stains from tile surfaces. Whether you're dealing with dull tiles or tough stains, this simple hack will leave your floors looking fresh and spotless.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons of white, non-gel toothpaste
1 cup of warm water
½ cup of white vinegar (optional for extra shine)
1 tablespoon of baking soda (for tougher stains)
A soft scrub brush or an old toothbrush
A microfiber cloth or mop
Directions
Prepare the Cleaning Solution

Mix the toothpaste with warm water in a small bowl.
For extra cleaning power, add vinegar and baking soda to the mix.
Apply the Paste

Use a brush or an old toothbrush to apply the paste directly to stained or dull tile areas.
Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to break down dirt and stains.
Scrub and Rinse

Gently scrub the tiles in circular motions, focusing on grout lines and tough stains.
Wipe away the residue with a damp microfiber cloth or mop.
Buff for Shine

For an extra glossy finish, dry the tiles with a clean cloth.
If needed, repeat the process on heavily stained areas.
Serving and Storage Tips
Since this is a cleaning solution, make a fresh batch each time you clean.
Store unused toothpaste separately for future cleaning sessions.
Keep the mixture away from children and pets.
