Textured floor tiles

6 replies

We have textured floor tiles in our kitchen (newly purchased home). There is dirt in the ridges which our steam mop and manual mop won’t clean. I’ve scrubbed with on my hands and knees with a vinegar and baking soda solution and hard brush which works, but the kitchen is massive and it will take me hours/days to do the cover the whole area. Any tips or ideas please?

I have a steam mop that has a stiff scrubbing attachment - it’s fantastic!

Get a professional company in?

Get rid of the tiles. Replace them with something more practical and better looking.

They're a daft idea for a kitchen. You'll end up tearing your hair out over them and they'll never look clean.

I know this is old but would love to know which you have? And also @BlueMamaBear if you found a solution? We have textured tiles and they're the world's stupidest idea but stuck with them for a good while at least!
