Then check into the cost of having the rest of the tile and grout professionally cleaned. I'm going to finish cleaning it and chalk it up to "things that make you go 'hummmm'" and be done with it. Really, I'm not going to freak out about it. ![]() I'm going to hurt whether I'm watching TV, shopping, sleeping, playing with grandchildren or on the floor scrubbing phantom mystery dirt. "life is too short to spend your time hurting".I don't know life without pain but it's a nice thought. But, then I go back to the fact that the unscrubbed tiles look/feel no different from the scrubbed ones. I'll finish the other half and THEN forget about it :) Maybe it's 8 years of various powders.body, blush, eyeshadows, face powder, dust from toilet paper and Kleenex and normal house dust all compacted by steam (no house pets). Kswl2, I've got 1/2 of the 10x10 bathroom done. Going to call a professional tile cleaning company on Monday about doing the whole house. What concerns me is if I don't get "it" (whatever "it" is) up now, what's the floor going to look like in 16 years? 24 years? They need to make a Magic Eraser MOP! I accidentally discovered the grime when touching up a few spots of mascara around my vanity chair. I was pleased with how the floor looked and felt (as I always am after cleaning it either with my steam mop or my Braava robot sweeper/wet mop). I didn't go LOOKING for something to clean that didn't need cleaning. Besides, this isn't something a maid would do. It might be something I'm forced to do at some point but not yet. Not really in the tax bracket to have a maid. It gets too darn hot to take the pad off without getting burned! Looks CAN be deceiving! Can you rent tile cleaning machines like you can rent carpet cleaning machines? Ask me how much my back appreciated that stunt! It didn't! :( Not sure I should try to finish the bathroom (did half of it last night) much less all the tile in the house. So it's foot traffic.foot traffic that my alcohol/water combo and robot mop nor my steamer (and alcohol) removes (sigh) So I throw a pillow and my poor self down on the floor last night, along with a bucket of fresh water and two Magic Erasers and start scrubbing tile by tile. Same tile is on the tub surround and bottom part of the walls. The clean one didn't look noticeably cleaner/brighter than the ones around it. Magic Eraser was dark gray! Turned it over and did the same tile.still dark gray! Rinse and repeated 7 times before I got nothing off the one tile :o OMGosh! The tiles don't look dirty. I used a Magic Eraser to make quick work of a few marks and the mascara spots. Later I notice some tiny black spots that need scrubbed. The tile is 20" travertine-look (matte) porcelain. I squirted alcohol on the floor as I cleaned. As the old lady in the Swiffer commercial says, "I've been living in a fool's paradise" :( Swept and then STEAM cleaned my 10x10 bathroom yesterday. Do not use any oils including Eucalyptus oil or other additives as these may damage the machine and void the guarantee.Granted I'm not the house keeper I was before spinal injuries, MS and Firbro Myalgia but my house LOOKS cleaner than most and is almost always "company ready".
