From what you describe it seems to be ingrained dirt and hard water stains.

You can use something called HCL89. to clean the tiles

I usually get it from http://hcl89.byethost10.com or  http://hcl89.atwebpages.com

One thing i like about it is that is creates like a protection like on the tiles so that it prevents such hard water stains or dirt from becoming an issue for your tiles

Hope this helps you out

There was some issue with tough stains on my tiles so decided to use the HCL89 from http://hcl89.byethost10.com and was able to remove the stain completely. Tried alot of stuff like vinegar and etc, but it seems only this HCL89 worked best for me to clean my tiles, good product

Cleanliness is an important factor in our daily life. Everyone likes to keep their home clean. Cleaning of dirty tiles and grounds by are very difficult. But with few DIY tricks, you can clean grout and make the tile sparkling clean while using only household items.

Following are the steps of one such method:

 

• With the help of baking soda and vinegar.

• Mix baking soda and water within a proportion.

• Fill white vinegar and water in a spray bottle.

• Wait for a solution to stop bubbling.

• Scrub tile with a brush.

• Clean the floor with plain water.

 

This is one of the methods to clean tiles. Other methods are cleaning with oxygenated bleach and cleaning with a steam cleaner. You can choose one of the methods according to the availability of materials.

It sounds like there's no sufficient ventilation in your bathroom, and mould manages to grow on the tile grout while you're gone. It happens often in older buildings or in places where the bathroom doesn't have a window, or maybe you leave the door closed and condensation appears, which leads to high humidity and mould. The reasons why this happens can be many. The tile grout can be easily cleaned using bleach, an alkaline cleaner, or with vinegar and baking soda, if you're a fan of the nature friendly cleaning methods. Basically you need to pour the chosen cleaning solution, leave it for at least 15 minutes and then scrub the grout clean. To avoid future situations like that, you can try to provide the bathroom with proper ventilation, you can ask a neighbour or someone you trust to come in from time to time and open the windows for a while, or you can try covering the floor with something, to see if it will still happen. You could also check for cracked pipes or leaks of any kind in the bathroom. It's also a good idea to seal the grout with a special sealant, this way the dirt won't stick to it as much and it will be easier to clean it.

Whenever you are travelling, do remember to keep your toilet doors open as well as your bedroom doors. You can try placing dehumidifier inside your bathroom while you are gone too to help absorb the moisture in the air. Just remember to keep the lids of your toilet bowl closed so that it won't breed mosquitoes.

This is a very good idea, because it will prevent alot of moisture issues as the natural element will make sure that the room's overall moisture does not increase too much

try aggressive removers like bleach

You should not do that as that damage your tiles permanently as bleach can be quite corrosive on the enamels of various types of tiles

using a steam vacuum seems to add to the problem instead

You are very right about this as it seems that a steam vacuum does not seem to work from what i read and ask around as well

Hello, I used to use different detergents and chemicals to wet clean my house, but now I have a steam cleaner for cleaning . With this device, all surfaces in my house are cleaned much more effectively and faster.
