    I put soda crystals and hot water into a spray bottle, give it a good shake and spray the tiles. Leave for 5 minutes and then wipe off.

    I find once they are clean polish them with car wax and they stay cleaner longer.

    I use a mixutre of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Squirt on, leave for 5 mins and then rub off with clean cloth. Brings them up to a great shine too.

    Flash eraser.

    Nothing else worked on our tiles but this. Only uses water, but the material it is made from is wonderful stuff.

    And because no chemicals either, I was happy to use it, and comfort baby when he grisled without need to wash hands throughly.

    hi,

    i have a similar prob. white tiles have limescale marks, but seem to be under a greasy film, and sort of chalky to touch. they are in the shower. i think the last people must have used one of those no clean shower sprays. i have tried [not all together or i'd be dead] vinegar, viakal, mr muscle bathroom, domestos mould removing bleach spray. the tiles are very clean now, but still limescale marks visible in direct light.

    any ideas
