Ceramic Tile Cleaner
ingredients
1 cup baking soda
1 cup ammonia
1/2 cup vinegar
14 cups warm water
directions
Pour baking soda into a clean gallon-size plastic jug. Add ammonia, vinegar and warm water to fill. Swish the jug to mix ingredients before it is completely full. Cover jug tightly, label. Smaller pump-type containers can be filled from the jug for small jobs.
To Use: Spray solution directly onto tile and wipe with a damp sponge or the kind of scrubbing pad made for Teflon pans.
If grout or tiles are especially soiled, make a paste of 2 tablespoons baking soda and 1 tablespoon tile cleaner. Brush it onto the stains with an old toothbrush. Let paste remain for 5 minutes, then scrub off and rinse.
