Filthy tiles

Any suggestions for these tiles please? I’m too short to lean over to scrub them and wonder if there is a leave on product I could use? They are glass but expect that they are fairly resilient.

I use a grabber for jobs like that, use the grabber to hold the scrubber or cloth. I'd spray on Elbow Grease and wipe down with a damp cloth.

I am just about to buy an electric cordless scrubbing brush from Amazon for just this type of thing. Can be hand held or have a long handle for hard to reach areas. I have done my research and the cheaper ones are not so powerful so spend what you can

A little plastic foldable footstall would help you reach, I have one £5 from B&M, I use it in my walk in shower to put my foot on when im shaving my legs 😁
Its quite sturdy, doubles up to help me reach stuff stored on top of my wardrobes

Thanks for your replies. I’ve got a foldable footstool so will get that out but the grease splatters are really bad! I’ve tried Elbow Grease paste and Pink Stuff paste but I think they would need going over several times. I might try and leave on for a few hours or even overnight.

Like the idea of a cordless scrubbing brush and be interested to see how you get on with it.

You could try a couple of natural solutions - soda crystals are great for getting rid of grease. Better if you can soak in a solution of crystals and hot water (like frying pans) but for these try soaking a cloth with a bit of resistance (microfibre) in a solution then wiping over. Or Nancy Birtwhistle uses a solution of 60ml white vinegar, 150ml water, 40ml surgical spirit (I’ve left this out before and used a squirt of good quality washing up liquid). Mix up in a spray bottle and spray on (leave for a bit if you can). Good luck.

HG Grease Away is great on tiles.
