Cleaning Your Kitchen Backsplash

Kitchen backsplashes come in all different shapes, sizes and colors. They are often the focal point of a kitchen, so you want to make sure it stays clean. If you have a tough stain that you need to get rid of try washing soda. Not baking soda. Washing soda contains sodium carbonate that will help remove any unwanted stains. Mix half cup of washing soda with warm water. Make sure to protect your hands and eyes. Let the mixture sit on the tile for five minutes before wiping it off. Make sure you are careful with the type of tile you have, try a small corner before you use it on the full backsplash. Make sure you keep in mind some tile such as natural stone are sensitive to scrubbing. If you have a glass backsplash try putting white vinegar in a spray bottle. This can be sprayed directly to the stain. While planning your backsplash keep in mind ceramic, metal and porcelain are easier to clean than other materials.
