Thanks for watching!
Thanks man I'm in the process of becoming an adult and I find this helpful
haha! You are welcome bro!
@@CleanWithConfidence I,m 55 and apparently I'm still in the process of becoming an adult, I guess that's what brought me here!
@@skylark4901 Welcome to the channel!
I feel this comment
Lol
So, this is 34, huh? Watching "how to clean" videos on RUclips and being thoroughly impressed that's even a thing 🤦♀️
Ha! Absolutely!! You can still have fun on the weekend though lol
LoL I just turned 34.
Dale86 same! Haha and now I’m watching this
Smh... I just watched it and I'm 27 lol
Sadly, yes. 🤦♀️
A great idea is not wearing your shoes inside your house....you'd be surprised how much crud you track in doing that. Anyone with allergies should be doing that without fail!
I never wear shoes at home, my grandparents do so that’s why I mostly have allergy attacks while at their house. The dirt in that place is insane and you can’t even see it.
I know this is an older video but this is exactly what I was looking for quick easy and doable thank you🤗
Happy to help
Its exactly what I was looking for as well. Did you try it, do it works?
This works SO well! I just spent the last two afternoons tackling my kitchen with this method. The tile looks new. The grout looks pretty good too. So glad to find this channel!!
Thanks for the testimony!
I'm so happy you made this video! I'm a mother of 4 and I've seen the total collapse of the public school system. They teach NOTHING relevant to what kids need to know to become a functioning person today. If I had to do it all over again, I would home-school all of my children! Great job and keep going!

I use Ajax on basically everything. I even shower with it.
hahaha my dad has showered with ajax too, crazy! it doesn't burn your skin or something?
Definitely, it gets the fleas out
Groundskeeper willie does too
Hold on what?!!!
I had leftover kaboom in the house and used it and it looked better, but then I used scrubbing bubbles with bleach and it worked so much better. I redid what I did with kaboom. Stick with Scrubbing Bubbles! Thanks for the video. My textured ceramic tile never looked so good!
Happy to help
I work for a cleaning company and have been struggling with some tiles exactly like this. Figured I’d pop on RUclips to see if anyone in the world had a solution. I’ll be trying this at work tonight. Thank you!!!!
Just to update, I did try this and it worked beautifully. Thanks again for the video!
To Hard Rock: You sound like a building contractor who has been working for years; but, still goes to RUclips for education -- *for the very same thing* his occupation entails!
Wat problems you got.i been doing floor waxing and tile n growth restoration
Looks like you had to use quite a bit of "elbow grease" and manual labor to get that floor clean. Is that correct? How long did it take? I have white ceramic tile in my kitchen. I must mop that thing 4X a day, and it STILL doesn't get completely get clean. I always do the wet paper towel test after cleaning the floor---I wipe my just cleaned floor in one spot with a wet paper towel and the paper towel is dirty. To the naked eye, it looks clean, but I know it is not. I have to sweep it, vacuum it, mop it and then steam it. Then it passes the wet paper towel test. I just can't DO THAT every single day. My kitchen is huge. I think I am ready to downsize.🥺
Not too much elbow grease. You just let the cleaner and the deck brush do the work. But always make sure you give the cleaner time to dwell and loosen up the soil first before you scrub it with the deck brush.
I’ve found that using the wrong mop can keep your tile looking dirty. Tile of that type has lots of nooks and crannies that collect a ton of dirt. Using a flat mop will push dirt into them and into the grout lines. A string mop or a mop like the Libman will help pick up more of the dirt. Your floors will get cleaner and look better.
Can I use my swiffer mop to wipe up the water and pour the water from a plastic cup, directly onto the floor, after I spray the soft scrub
I came back to say I'm literally awe struck at how much less shiny my tiles are (likely from barefoot grease removal ~ GROSS!) & that I had to drain the sink water THREE times! I mopped over the cleaned floor with clear water & still pulled up dirt! My entire house is just 1000 sqft. While the kitchen is good sized, it isn't that hard to clean. To sweep & mop the kitchen + 2 full baths, it normally takes me under 20 minutes. To sweep, scrub w/Scrubbing bubbles using the Gorilla deck brush & mop it up with an O Cedar microfiber mop: 1 1/2 HOURS! Hopefully the next time it won't take as long. This was definitely not as easy as you made it look but well worth the end result. I don't see a huge difference in the color of the tiles (they are off white & swirled to look like natural tile) again, the shine is gone & I feel the difference when walking on them now. The tile dried incredibly quick using this method vs my grubby sponge mop. Probably because I actually broke through the dirt so water wasn't just standing on top. UGH! I disposed of my grubby sponge mop because I'm pretty sure it just swished the dirt equally over my floors so I didn't realize how dirty they were. I'm pretty embarrassed that your method worked so incredibly well. I used 3/4 of a bottle of Scrubbing Bubbles so for those with a "full size" house, invest in a second bottle just in case. It's better to have it & not need it than to have 1/2 a clean floor. Plus, you can use it next time! Thank you for sharing trade secrets. Now I'm on to the grout & you can bet I'll be sealing it afterward!
Thanks for sharing Amber!
Tried this on a property that hasn't been cleaned in a year and a half. Worked perfectly. Thanks for the advice
You are welcome!
Bro your 6 year old video is very useful in 2024 😅😅😅
Glad you found it valuable!
It works!! I wish I could post photos to show the dramatic change. THANK YOU!!!!!!
Happy to help!
I have been watching cleaning videos for YEARS! I just found your channel (how to clean your jetted tub) and yours is by far my favorite. You are hilarious and have the best tips! Even my kiddos like to watch ❤️ thank you for making fun cleaning content!
Hey Victoria welcome to the channel! Happy to help :)
Omgosh!! Thank you! I literally have the same tiles and I was on my hands and knees scrubbing!!
Happy to help
No need to be on your knee you can rent the machine at home depot for rent
It worked! I had tried everything! Next up I was going to change the tiles! Thank you!
Happy to help!
Does this make the floor feel sticky? That's what I'm combatting right now. Seem like no matter what I clean my floor w/ once it's try everyone's shoes sound like they have Velcro on the bottom. :)
It shouldn't. You just have to make sure you clean all the cleaner off real well.
I bought a steam floor cleaner and pass that after I chemical clean my floor. That really helps
Try the Bona floor cleaner
For tile after u clean it real good with the scrubbing bubbles
@@Hephzibahh where can one buy the bubble stuff?
Although I love your videos and the technique you use the products you name do not exist in my country so I would appreciate it if you named alternative simpler products that would also work
Me too.
Yes ma'am thanks for watching! What country are you in? Do they have anything similar to Scrubbing Bubbles where you live? If not, it would be worth trying to take a bucket of water adding a few drops of Dawn dish soap, dip the brush in the water and scrub the floors from that point.
Clean With Confidence I live in Greece. Never heard of scrubbing bubbles and we also don't have dawn dish soap. We have other kind of dish soap. Anyway thanks for the answer, I will be trying soap and water.
You can try Hydrogen Peroxide (the same people use for wounds) and Baking Soda. You will achieve the same result
Will the hp wear off the paint?
Welp, here I go going to go buying Scrubble Bubbles or whatever it's called.
I have this same tile. Thanks for the scrubbing bubbles trick! I used to scrub it by hand but now I get much better results!
You are welcome!
I tried this with scrubbing bubbles and it worked. I had some dust from removing some old tile, the dust settled on my previous tile cause an dust film. I mopped and there was the film still there.
I have the exact same tile on my kitchen floor. My biggest regret is the light color. I bought a oreck orbiter commercial floor scrubber because of the Sq. Ft of the kitchen. The grout lines is the hardest to clean so it’s done manually. You can’t really mop rough ceramic or porcelain tiles and expect a very clean surface. You have to scrub the tile with a medium or hard scrubber.
These tiles make me feel better about what my tile looks like
🙂
This is supposed to be common sense stuff but very useful to watch done properly so most of us aren't doing it the long or hard way, thanks for showing us the necessary tools! made my shopping list easy.
Happy to help
I have zero carpet in my home it's so stressful
So much cleaner trust me
Can I invite you to my house for cleaning, I will pay you well!
nice Chinese classical melody tune.
This is great video. Thanks for the explanation. What brand or style bristles do you use in the brush used in the video? That would be the first place I need to start. I already have the Scrubbing Bubbles so I'm 1/2 way to clean! Thanks again for a great video.
You are very welcome Amber! It's just a regular deck brush. I left a link to one in the video description box.
Going to the store for some Scrubbing Bubbles 🏃🏾♀️💨
Oh my gosh....this is the video I've been looking for! Thank you!!
You are welcome!
I moved into an apartment with unsealed ceramic tiles a few months ago. I’m pretty young and had never lived in a space with all over ceramic tile like this. When we first moved in, the grout was clean but very crumbly and was not removed from the tiles properly. The splotches of grout have been damn near impossible to get out and are now just gray. Our floors always look dirty now 😭 they’re so difficult to clean. Now our tiles are also completely missing grout in some spaces because it has crumbled away.... is this our fault for not cleaning properly? Or we’re our tiles just not properly installed?
Sounds like everything is just very old and needs to be re-grouted.
Thanks for the tip!! Who knew scrub bubble could be so handy😃
You are welcome!
Just fyi you shouldn't use those nasty old industrial mops get a spin mop it's better then those old mops cuz those old mops your not cleaning your spreading the Germs
Not true at all. String mops are the best kind of mop to use. The problem lies in the fact that most people dont know how to use them correctly leaving them misinformed.
Thank you for this video! Any chance you could attach a link for the long handled brush you used? Or a similar one?
I found it in the header. Thank you!
@@lisakaukonen You are welcome!
I spray formula 88 n leave it for 15min.
How often should you do a deep clean like this?
Wow, I would have never thought to use Scrubbing Bubbles! Thank you!
@@mgkelly3389 happy to help
@@CleanWithConfidence Your channel is so helpful! I really enjoy it.
I’m selling my house and I wanted to make sure it looked as nice as possible for the people buying! This was very helpful!
Glad you found the video valuable!
OMG. This works. Did it today3/6/2020. So clean. Thank you.
Awesome! Happy to help!
You should have done the grout.
Can’t get scrubbing bubbles in the UK 😮
As a professional cleaner, I appreciate this video. I also enjoy taintless tile, tainted tile only means a butt funnel has been on the tile.
Interesting wording lol🙂
Is there any particular reason you chose a string mop? I came across your channel 3-30-24. I have never used scrubbing bubbles. Does it leave the tiles sticky? Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm new to tile floors... Your videos have been helpful and easy-to-understand. My question: if I'm cleaning my tile AND grout, is there one I should do first?
For the most part you clean them at the same time unless the grout is super dirty and it needs exclusive attention.
Please help ! I jave ceramoc tiles in my new apartment and no matter how offered I mop or scrub mine and my kids feet still end up black what do I do ?
Give your kids a bath, lol.
I live in Australia and I don’t have scrub and bubbles. What can I use instead
Thumbs down? Why ? Good job my man. I learned something today . 1000 👍🏾
Happy to help!
What is the name of the chemicals that you spray in the floor sir..i having this problem in my project...
It’s rare to find a video that answers my exact question. New subber!
Happy to help!
I will truly never understand why Americans like to wear their shoes inside, might as well just go barefoot outside... This is a good cleaning hack for that kind of tile BUT it seemed a bit counteproductive to do all that scrubbing, only to walk over what you just cleaned with what appears to be outside shoes
You don't walk in the grass and mud with your shoes, you stay on the driveways and sidewalks, that way you don't track anything inside. In America we have two pairs of shoes. One pair for regular use and one pair for yardwork. The pair for yardwork we don't go wear inside.
@@CleanWithConfidence i get having two pairs...but just even walking on the sidewalk, there's tons of bacteria and grime....so while you aren't tracking around mud into the house....you're still bringing outside dirt into the house and all over the house when you wear your shoes from outside...inside. But it's clear this is very much a cultural thing for you guys in the U.S. I can't speak for all Canadians but I've lived here my whole life and people take their outside shoes off at the door LoL
That worked way better than I thought, nice work!
That grout still looks nasty. Can you use a grout pen or something?
Here is a video I did about how to clean grout:ruclips.net/video/sOqkZSAOZjA/видео.html
I have a question.
Had a horrible tenant and he left my tile damn near almost black (unsealed naturAl travertine) do you think this would work? I’ve been using dish soap and water for hours. HELP!
Wow, sounds like you're in a pickle. First off you probably should got easy on the water. If they are unsealed they will soak that water up like a sponge and potentially create mold. Secondly, I recommend you contact your manufacturer from this point and ask them directly what you need to do in this situation. There are different types of travertine and I don't want to give you the wrong information. They make cleaners specifically for travertine and maybe your manufacture can direct you to the proper one. I plan to make some travertine videos here in the future.
Clean With Confidence thanks! Yes, I used a dime sized amount of clear / I scented dish soap with water, but only enough to dampen my sponge and scrub, then blow dry with a towel. So I wasn’t full on mopping and or soaking the tiles
The scrubbing brush with a long handle is called a broom 😂😂. All jokes aside, thanks for a great video.
Ants Coetz no it is not. Broom is to sweep, it can have similar shape but the hair are softer and longer. Brush is short and hard to be able to scrub the floor. Two different things, two different purposes.
A broom!!!! really!!!!!! LoL…. Have you ever seeing a Witch flying a Brush? J/K
Doing a Replay
I'm 15 and there's a bunch of old people talking about being old. I just want my allowance.
You did not tell us what you used during the clean up dumb us!!
Will any deck brush work as well? The link is going to a different one that isn't available. I did a floor like this on my hands and knees last year and would like to avoid that again, thanks.
Yes ma’am any deck brush will work. I have one I bought at Home Depot!
Thanks for the tips n advice. There sre are so many ways to clean floors. Will definitely try this
you are welcome
Thank U so much for how to clean tile floors, What about wood floors 😋
You are welcome! Yes I have a video on hardwood floors as well
How about mold on tile. Sand paper? Bleach not working it's dried on there Some How. Maybe just replace those pieces, what think? Looks like specks of black on some tiles bathroom floor. I tried bleach, ajaks, ammonia still there
First and foremost I would try Tilex Mold and Mildew Remover. Just spray the mold and let it sit. You can buy it from most Wal-Mart.
Dude you gotta clean the grout. Oxyclean and warm water with a scrubber attachment for a power drill. Life changing hack.
Would a hard bristle broom work as well? I have bad back n knees
My biggest prob is streaks left after cleaning 😂
I know I’m not the only one that becoming an adult and moms not here to clean up after me 😂😂
I appreciate this immensely. I have the exact same tiles, same color, same problem with the dirt stains.
Happy to help!
Aren’t you the Flash?? Great tutorial Thx!!
Glad you found the video valuable!
Great video. Gonna try this. What’s the name of the song?
Thanks Mr Calvin! The song is: Lotus Lane - The Loyalist
What brand do you use? Mr. bubbles?😳🤔
I have the scrubbing bubbles and the mop you wring out but not the sponge mop. What could I use instead?
That wasnt a sponge mop it was a deck brush. The deck brush isnt necessary if the floors arent super dirty, you can just use a regular string mop👍
Geez, I need Tommy in my life.
OK it looks a little better. I guess I really just don't like that tile. Looks dirty all the time I guess.
Yes I didnt care for it much either!
Hey man, this is exactly what I needed, thanks for linking the brush too!
A large floor would take approximately… One year to clean.
Just what I need. Thanks!
You are welcome!
I agree with the other comments, it looks easy and doable for me. I was going to rent a tile cleaning machine that weighs 80 lbs. and I would have had to pick it up and then take it back. This is much better, thanks 🙏.
Happy to help
Just what I was looking for. Will be trying this.
Won’t the scrubbing bubbles harm the tiles! Doesn’t it have bleach in it. Also this is clearly not a daily way to clean the tiles so is this maybe a once a year cleaning? Thank you!
No way, it doesn't harm the tiles. I would never recommend it if that were the case. No Scrubbing Bubbles doesn't contain bleach.
Wow that's so incredible
Does this work on hardwood tile floor as well
To be honest with you I have never tried it on hardwood tile, but probably so.
@@CleanWithConfidence okay I will give it a try I'm starting my own house cleaning business and I would like to see if this method work
How do you know when you get up all the scrubbing bubbles? If you don’t get it all it will attract dirt to your newly clean floor.
You wash and mop the floor well afterwards. Thats how you know. It just takes practice👍
Which product did you use for cleaning? Thank you.
From the video it was Scrubbing Bubbles
What spray cleaner did you use
Scrubbing Bubbles
Ok now I want to try!! Is the smell strong?
which scrubbing bubbles do you recommend? the link you provided no longer works and there are multiple types available (shower foaming, bathroom disinfectant, types with bleach etc)
The link works on my end I just checked it. It's the 4 pack of Bathroom grime fighter removes 100% soap scum.
Thank you so much, it worked great on my tiles, fast and easy 👍🏻👍🏻
happy to help
Nice job! Thanks!
You are welcome!
What is the brand of spray that you are using?
Scrubbing Bubbles
I clicked on this video because I'm looking for tips on cleaning my ceramic kitchen tiles myself. Hmmm Scrubbing Bubbles -- who knew?? Thanks for the tip.
You are welcome!
What is the pH on the Scrubbing Bubbles
It’s alkaline, I think around a 12 or so.
To clean grout I e found the best solution, and it’s better than any cleaners I’ve ever tried from stores… is 1 pt isopropyl alcohol, 1 pt original dawn dish soap, 2 pts warm water, and an old toothbrush 🪥. Will whiten grout lines in 15 seconds guaranteed. Let me know if you try this method.
I am just starting to scrub clean the same tile in my kitchen and the grout lines is the most time consuming part (I either do it right or not do it). I’m going to do a mix of what you suggested and see if it works.
This worked well for me! I will have to mention though the smell of the cleaner lingered quite strong for half a day or so. Make sure to open windows!
Glad it worked for you!
great job , thank you, now the grout
Try Hydrogen Peroxide n Baking Soda next time ... betcha it will come out WAYYYYY cleaner. Jus sayin 😁👍🏻
I have used stuff like that before. DIY concoctions just don't work as well.
@@CleanWithConfidence Weird Does great on the 32 Customers floors I do.
@@michellecisneros8635 Not for me. I always find myself scrubbing way more. I find the DIY concoctions are good for maintaining stuff though.
If I used spray cans would need 100s as have 52sq metres of tiles in lounge dining kitchen. ..not gonna work for me would have to sell my soul to pay for the tins 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude so glad I found your channel thanks for making these. The channel name is exactly what I need to learn to do lol.
Happy to help! Welcome to the channel🙂
What spray do you use?
These are my tiles. I hate them. But this is awesome
mines so dusty and no matter what I do, they won’t get out
