Spilled oil on your kitchen tiles? It happens more often than you'd think—especially with eager little helpers in the kitchen.
Picture this: a bottle of oil slips from small hands onto your spotless floor. No need to panic; I've got a tried-and-true grandma's trick that's saved my tiles countless times.
Flour absorbs oil like magic, leaving no trace behind. Here's how it works:
1. Generously sprinkle flour over the oil stain to fully cover it.
2. Let it sit until the flour has absorbed all the oil.
3. Sweep it up.
Your tiles are spotless—the oil vanishes completely, no scrubbing required. Just mop for that fresh shine.

It's cleaner than ever, right? Since discovering this method, family cooking has been stress-free—no more worries about kids near risky bottles.
This trick works just as well for fryer oil spills and even linoleum floors.
A basic bag of flour costs about 0.40 cents.
No need for pricey degreasers anymore. Flour, a broom, and a mop do the job!
I save at least one bottle of floor cleaner a year—at over 30 euros each, that's nearly 30 euros saved annually.
Not life-changing, but every bit helps. Plus, the real win is the energy saved—effortless cleaning beats scrubbing every time.
