Cleaning the joints and tiles of the shower or bathtub, the sink and so on, is not child’s play and is among other things one of the most hated tasks by housewives all over the world because it requires a lot of time and stress combined with the use of products that are bad for health and that in the long run can also ruin the tiles themselves.
Yet you have to organize yourself and devote yourself totally to cleaning joints and tiles at least once a week because that’s where the dust is deposited, whichthen doesn’t go away with a normal tea towel, a rough sponge or something else.
The dirt that lurks in the sections of the joints and tiles ends up turning into mold that is impossible to remove even using bleach. No matter how much a bathroom has been renovated or has just been furnished, it doesn’t take much to give the feeling of dirty and old.

Preparation of the vinegar and baking soda solution
Take the coffee cup and fill it with baking soda, to which you then add a cup of 9% vinegar. As soon as it is poured, it happens that the two ingredients together react to form a fantastic foam, it is precisely the one that removes dirt and mold from the joints and tiles. Be careful to pour gently, slowly, to prevent the solution from leaking out of the container.
Once vinegar and baking soda have been combined, half a glass of dish soap is also poured in and stirred once again, to ensure that the ingredients blend well. Finally, add less than a tablespoon of fine sea salt, because it dissolves better, shakes or otherwise stirs and the solution is ready.
