Try scrubbing them all down vigorously with vinegar once a year and polish them with car wax.

 

I use CLR at home, and would definitely recommend it. Just be careful to use it with gloves, as the solution is slightly acidic.

 

I've found that vinegar and warm water works best, and it is great for the grout as well. Use a scrubber brush to maximize results.

 

For more stubborn stains use a diluted solution of water and hydrocholoric acid. This is what most professional cleaners use. Or find a ready-made one in your home care store.

Use rubber gloves and ventilate well when using this product and test on a small area first to make sure it's really safe on your tiles.

 

Vinegars gets the job done. you can do this every week. if you're on the go, you can apply hydrocholoric acid every two months or something like that..

 

Tile can be cleaned with a variety of things but vinegar, baking soda, salt and lemon juice are the best, least expensive and most effective products to clean with.

Try this mixture to create a paste that will get most any soap scum built up on tile.

* 1 cup salt
* 1 cup baking soda
* 1 cup vinegar

 

I would suggest looking into a water softner. We had one installed and don't get the hard water stains any more. Before the water softner we used a product called the "works" that worked best for us. Good Luck

 

Is it the tiles themselves or the grout? Having the tile and grout sealed would probably help. A water softener would be a great idea as well if you have that option.

 

You can apply hydrocholoric acid every two months or something like that..

 

You could try applying a sealant on them if you can get them stain-free first as well.

 

There are so many products available in the market, you can choose anyone of them.
