Result

And There you go ! Your wall tiles are now free of those nasty traces of limestone :-)

Easy, fast and efficient, right?

This trick works on all types of tiles:matte, black, grey, glossy and porcelain stoneware.

Plus, it's completely natural!

It works just as well on bathroom tiles as it does on kitchen tiles.

Why does it work?

White vinegar attacks limescale, even in a thin layer on the tiles.

Baking soda, on the other hand, helps to unclog stubborn limestone thanks to its small grains.

Don't worry, it won't scratch the tile.

Bonus tip

To avoid having to do this too often, I advise you to invest in a small squeegee like this one.

After each shower, scrape up standing water. This way, it won't form streaks when it dries and you'll keep your tiles looking like new for months.
