Black stains between tiles are usually mould, dirt and dust. These stains can build up over time and many people cleaning their homes ignore this area, leaving your tiles looking bad and unhygienic.
Based on my personal experience, I have 3 easy ways to remove black stains from between tiles. I hope this will help.
3 Easy to remove black stain between tiles
Method #1: Bleach and Baking Soda
Ingredients you’ll need:
- Baking soda
- Bleach
- Water
- Spray bottle
- Old toothbrush
Mix bleach and baking soda in a spray bottle, then spray on the black stains between the tiles, leave it for more than 10 minutes, remember to open the window to ventilate, then use a soft bristle brush to brush these black stains, and then rinse it off with water, which is very effective.
And this method can also remove stubborn stains from the toilet.
Method #2: white vinegar
Ingredients you need:
White vinegar
Water
Spray bottle
Old toothbrush
Using vinegar to remove the black substance is also very effective and very safe as well as economical and inexpensive. Pour white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on the surface of the black stain, wait for some time and then scrub it off with a soft bristle brush Rinsing it off is also very effective and the vinegar has antiseptic properties which kills moulds very well. I personally recommend this method, after all, who has a bottle of white vinegar at home hahaha. It is a quick and effective method.
Method #3: Commercial Cleaners
There are many commercial cleaners on the market to remove black stains between tiles. Choose a cleaner that suits your type of tile.
Follow the instructions on the cleaner’s label.
Use a brush or sponge to apply the cleaner to the black substance between the tiles.
Let the cleaner sit for a few minutes.
Scrub the black substance between the tiles with a brush or sponge.
Rinse the tiles with water.
It’s really all very simple methods to soften these stains with chemicals and then wash them off.
But if the mould is deeply embedded in the cement paste. Removing surface mould with the above methods is no longer achievable I think. It may require repainting and caulking. So it is advisable to check the corners of your home for hygiene and clean them regularly.
Preventing black substance between tiles
Clean the tiles regularly. Clean your tiles at least once a week to prevent dirt and dust build-up.
Keep your bathroom dry. Mould thrives in damp conditions. Use an exhaust fan or open a window to keep your bathroom dry.
Repair grout. If the grout is broken or cracked, it is more likely to accumulate dirt and mould. Repair the grout to prevent this from happening.
