1. Dishwashing Beverage 

You may clean your darkened tile seams using a regular solution that you probably already have in your kitchen: dishwashing liquid.

Try this cleaning approach on your unclean wall tiles before you cover them up: Using an old toothbrush, clean the joints with a solution of 125 g of soda crystals in 60 cl of hot water.

When working with soda crystals, use caution and use protective gear such as gloves and goggles.

Next, wash it off with fresh water.
