⚡ Quick Answer
Bathroom tiles in India get hard water stains (white deposits), soap scum, and grout discoloration. Use diluted white vinegar (1:3 ratio) for hard water stains, baking soda paste for grout cleaning, and a mild acid cleaner monthly for deep cleaning.

⚠️
Tile Damage
Never use HCl (acid) on marble or natural stone tiles — it permanently etches them. Use it only on ceramic and vitrified tiles. Always wear gloves and ventilate the bathroom when using acid cleaners.
