Hard flooring is ideal for higher-traffic areas of the home, but while it’s more hard-wearing than carpet, it can still get pretty dirty. Plus, wear and tear becomes more evident over time. That’s why it’s essential to clean your hard flooring regularly.
Of course, if you want to clean wooden floors or give your bathroom tiles a new lease of life, it can be incredibly easy to reach for floor-specific cleaners, often laden with chemicals. But while speaking to Hyperion Tiles, a former royal cleaner confirmed that the (all-natural) key to sparkling palace floors is… black tea. In fact, hard flooring is just one of the many things you can clean with tea.
A spokesperson for the brand explains, ‘This method is a fantastic example of how natural ingredients can be just as effective as modern cleaners, without the risk of damaging high-quality flooring. We always recommend gentle, pH-balanced cleaning solutions for hardwood and tiled floors, and black tea fits perfectly into that category. It’s an easy, affordable trick that anyone can try at home.’ So, this is how to use black tea to clean your hard flooring.
