#1 How To Remove Cement From Tiles Naturally?

"Remove cement from tiles" naturally is easier than you think! This hack works better than others. To avoid scratching the tiles, one needs to gently scrape off the dried cement with a plastic scraper. Next, mix equal parts of white vinegar and warm water, and soak a soft cloth in the solution. Rub the affected areas in circular motions, letting the acidity loosen the cement. For stubborn spots, sprinkle baking soda and scrub lightly with a soft brush.  

Got doubts? A friend or family member can help with those tricky corners or lend a second pair of hands to speed up the process. Team effort makes the installation so fun.

#2 How To Remove The Dried Cement From Tiles?

Removing fresh cement is not a big deal, but if it is dried, what to do then? Usual hacks are simple, but thinking outside the box makes the expert different from the commoner. Start with a plastic scraper to loosen the cement gently, but here’s a rare tip: use sugar water! Dissolve sugar in warm water, soak an old towel in it, and lay it over the cement. Leave it overnight—the sugar breaks down the cement’s grip.  

For tough spots, try using a steam cleaner to soften the residue or apply coconut oil as a lubricant to gently rub it off. Here, these hacks are very rare and not commonly said by everyone, but they also create wonders compared to the harsh chemical methods, leaving your tile pristine and undamaged.

For tougher stains, try a paste made of baking soda and water. Spread it over the stain, let it rest for a few minutes, then scrub lightly. Don’t forget to rinse thoroughly with clean water to reveal spotless, gleaming tiles!
