Question

How should I clean porcelain tiles?

Community Answer

Use warm or hot water and then polish with a dry towel or cloth. I have tried vinegar, but the warm or hot water is better. Sometime you will have to scrape with a razor knife to loosen hard dried food. Then vacuum, apply the warm water, mop lightly, let it dry, and polish with a dry cloth. Porcelain is like glass, the harder you polish, the better.

Question

I just bought a house that has a porcelain sink, and it's stained with what looks like coffee stains. What is the best way to get the stains out?

Community Answer

You can use lemon juice and table salt to get rid of the rust. Use with caution, as this can dull the finish of the porcelain. It is a good idea to install a good water system to prevent staining in the future.
