    Not that i do it very often but when i want my tiles to shine i use spray on window cleaner. I dont like the smell of vinegar or i'd use that.

  • Once the tiles and grout are clean,use car polish,it really puts a shine on the tiles,and makes them look new.

    I have an old spray bottle with vinegar/water mixed half and half, that gets rid of limescale easily, and I live in a very hard water area.

    Sugar soap great for tiles I use it for just about anything.

    I use whitening toothpaste, pref one I got really cheap on offer with lots of bicarb in it, with a stiff scrubbing brush and no water, then rinse it off. Works on manky fridge door seals too and makes em nice and white again.
    So so SO tired of being ripped off, and mislead
    Hope sharing saves some pain.

    Yep, what I've always used along with vinegar and water (only a splash or two in a bowl of water.
    Put the kettle on. ;)
