What is the best cleaner for shower tile?

For ceramic and porcelain, bathroom cleaner or vinegar solution. For natural stone, use a pH-neutral stone cleaner only.

Squeegee after every shower, use liquid soap instead of bar soap, and spray vinegar weekly.

The tiles themselves usually do not need sealing, but the grout between them should be sealed annually to prevent moisture damage.

Bathroom

Your shower tile is one of the most-used surfaces in your home. Here's how to get it spotless and keep it that way.

1
Spray tiles with bathroom cleaner
Spray the entire tiled area generously with Soap-Man Bathroom Cleaner. Let it sit for 5 minutes to break down soap scum and grime.
2
Scrub the tiles
Scrub the tile surfaces with a stiff brush or sponge. Work from top to bottom so dirty water runs down over areas not yet cleaned.
3
Clean the grout lines
Make a paste of baking soda and water. Apply to grout lines with a grout brush or old toothbrush. Scrub thoroughly.
4
Rinse and spray with vinegar
Rinse all surfaces with the shower head. Spray a light coat of vinegar over the tiles to prevent soap scum from rebuilding.
