How to clean slate bathroom walls.

Get the tiled and natural stone covered walls in your bathrooms and showers sparkling clean by mixing equal parts of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Mix a few drops of mild dish detergent in a couple of cups of warm water. First make sure to sweep dust or dry mop the surface to remove any loose dirt. Avoid acidic natural cleaning solutions such as lemon juice or vinegar diluted with water because they may etch the surface of the stone.

Spritz the solution onto the surfaces and wipe them dry with a clean cloth. For added shine dry the area with a microfiber cloth buffing to a glossy finish. Let the paste sit for a minimum of 30 minutes. Rub a thin coat of car wax onto tiled walls annually to make water bead up and roll off the protected surfaces.

Wet the soft cleaning rag with the detergent solution and wipe down slate walls and counters thoroughly wiping in the same direction so as to avoid streaks. Empty the bucket and refill with 1 gallon of warm water and capful of detergent. For a natural alternative try making a paste with baking. For the perfect bathroom tile cleaner apply the thick paste to the dirty tiles using a damp cloth or sponge.

The easiest way to remove the excess sealer from the surface of the slate tiles is to use terry cloths or paper towels. Mop your slate tilefloor with a gentle cleanser. You can use a cleaning product specifically made to wash natural stone or any other cleaning solution that does not contain lemon or vinegar preferably one that is ph neutral. Take an old toothbrush or grout brush and scrub removing the soap scum with it.

With a clean cloth rinse the clean bathroom tiles with warm water. Regularly mop or sponge your tiles with 2 tablespoons of all purpose cleanser mixed into a gallon of hot water.
