Shobha Bansla’s ₹1 Trick to Make Bathroom Tiles Sparkle Like New

Cleaning years of stubborn dirt, soap scum, and hard water stains from bathroom tiles can feel like an uphill battle. Expensive cleaners don’t always do the trick, and regular scrubbing can take a toll on both time and patience. But now, YouTuber Shobha Bansla has shared a simple, ₹1 home remedy that promises sparkling tiles in just minutes.

Ingredients for the Homemade Cleaner
The best part? You likely already have all the ingredients at home. You’ll need:

• 1 tablespoon baking powder – helps loosen tough stains
• Juice of 1 lemon – citric acid cuts through soap scum and hard water marks
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar – enhances cleaning power when combined with lemon
• 1 pouch of inexpensive shampoo – creates foam and lifts dirt from surfaces

Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl to prepare your powerful yet cost-effective cleaner.

Apply Using the Lemon Peel
Don’t discard the lemon peel after juicing! Use it to apply the cleaner directly onto the dirty tiles. The rough texture of the peel works as a natural scrubber while distributing the cleaner evenly.

Let It Work Its Magic
For best results, allow the mixture to sit on the tiles for 5–10 minutes. The combination of baking soda, vinegar, and lemon reacts with years of stubborn grime, loosening it from the tile surface. You’ll notice the dirt softening or starting to lift off.

Scrubbing Technique
Once the grime loosens, use the lemon peel for gentle scrubbing. For extremely stubborn, long-standing dirt or moss, a steel wool pad can be used, but avoid pressing too hard to prevent scratching the tiles.

Final Rinse and Shine
After cleaning, rinse the tiles thoroughly with water. You’ll be amazed at how dirt that resisted even expensive cleaners disappears in minutes. The lemon and vinegar combination also leaves your tiles with a brilliant, natural shine.
