FAQ:
Q: Can I use baking soda on all tile types?
A: Baking soda is safe for ceramic, porcelain, and most natural stone tiles. Avoid using it on highly polished marble or granite, as its abrasiveness may dull the finish.
Q: How often should I clean my tiles with baking soda?
A: For regular maintenance, once a week is ideal. For high-traffic areas or heavy buildup, you can clean more frequently.
Q: Does baking soda kill germs?
A: While baking soda doesn't disinfect in the way bleach does, it helps remove grime where germs can thrive. For added disinfection, combine it with vinegar.
