Cleaning your bathroom tiles regularly keeps them looking good and performing their best.
Start by either mixing up a cleaning solution with half vinegar and half water or getting a purpose-made tile cleaning product. Apply the cleaning solution to a soft cloth, sponge or non-abrasive brush and scrub the tiles, paying extra attention to grimy areas. Don’t forget to clean the grout! Using a soft brush or toothbrush, carefully scrub it until stains start to fade.
Steer clear of abrasive cleaning tools like steel wool or harsh scrubbing pads that damage your grout and tiles.
The cost of tiling a bathroom depends on its size, the type and style of tiles you choose and how many walls and what height you tile to. A regular-sized bathroom can cost between $600 and $3000.
If you’re working with a small bathroom, larger tiles with fewer grout lines can make the space feel bigger and more open. You could also use the same tiles on your walls and floors for a clean, minimal look.
Bathroom floor and wall tiles are built to withstand different things. Floor tiles are thicker, made of porcelain, more moisture-resistant and designed to handle heavy foot traffic. They’re more often available in textured or matte finishes for greater slip resistance.
Wall tiles are thinner and lighter and a ceramic material. They come in a wider range of patterns, finishes and size options for design flexibility.
Choosing the right tiles is important so they can support everyday use without early wear and tear.
Yes, it is possible to use the same tiles on both bathroom walls and floors. However, as we outlined above, there are some differences in durability, finish and slip resistance that you need to consider during your decision-making process.
As long as your floor tiles are up to the task, there's no harm in using them on the walls as well. Just be aware that wall tiles are not suitable to use on your bathroom floor and can leave you vulnerable to slips, falls and issues with water resistance.
