If your wall tiles aren’t too dirty and are free of any particularly tough stains then washing them down with a damp cloth and soapy warm water solution should do the trick (dish soap should suffice).
Tip: Make sure to give them a quick brush down to remove any grit or debris that may scratch or damage the tiles or tile grout.
For more stubborn stains and hard to remove grime you may need to use a more aggressive cleaning solution. In all circumstances, we recommend testing your chosen cleaning solution on a small area to ensure that it does not damage nor cause any discolouration or staining.

We stock a range of tile cleaning products that will help keep your kitchen floor tiles looking their best. From heavy duty tile cleaning products to surface sealers that help protect the tiles.
Super simple, simply mix 1 part white vinegar with 1 part water and voila, a natural cleaning solution, safe to use on all ceramic and porcelain tiles. For other tiles including terracotta, marble or granite we would recommend choosing a more pH neutral mix.
Another friendly alternative to bleach is this hydrogen peroxide – water mix. Recommended ratios do vary, but we recommend starting off with 1 cup of peroxide and 1 gallon of warm water. Safe to use on all types of tile, simply spray on and allow a few minutes dwell time before wiping clean. Repeat as necessary.
You can also use baking, or bicarbonate soda mixed with a little water to create a paste to rejuvenate your tiles. Easier to remove dirt can be removed with a cloth, whilst tougher stains can be tackled with something slightly more abrasive such as an old toothbrush.
Once you’ve removed all the dirt and stains, use some warm water and a clean cloth to wipe over the tiles and remove any excess tile cleaner. Finally, dry the tiles with some kitchen roll or a clean cloth for a glossy finish.
