Also, quick question about the WD-40 trick—does it leave any residue behind? Never tried it before and now I'm tempted...
Haha, yeah, perfection's pretty elusive in renos—there's always something. But honestly, that one crooked tile probably stands out only to you. About WD-40, it can indeed leave a slight oily residue, so I'd test it on a small hidden spot first...
WD-40's handy stuff but it definitely leaves a bit of oily film behind—nothing major, just noticeable if you're picky. Quick wipe with some mild soap afterward usually does the trick. Learned that after slipping on a WD-40'd bathroom floor once... fun times.
WD-40 on bathroom floors...? Interesting choice. Ever thought about using silicone spray instead? It dries cleaner and leaves less residue—might save you from another slip-up.
WD-40 on bathroom floors...? That's a new one for me. Reminds me of the time I tried using furniture polish on my kitchen tiles—thought it'd give them a nice shine. Well, it did... but it also turned my kitchen into an ice rink. Took me a good half-hour scrubbing with vinegar and dish soap to get rid of the slickness.
Silicone spray is definitely a better bet if you're looking for something that won't leave you skating across the bathroom floor. I've used it on sliding shower doors and window tracks, and it dries clean without attracting dust or grime. Just be careful not to overspray onto surfaces you actually want grip on—like the bottom of your tub or shower pan. Learned that one the hard way too.
Honestly though, for bathroom floors, I'd stick to something specifically designed for tile or vinyl. Less adventurous maybe, but fewer bruises in the long run...
Haha, furniture polish on kitchen tiles sounds exactly like something I'd accidentally try. Glad I'm not alone in the DIY mishap club. Silicone spray does seem like a safer bet, but I've never tried it—does it really not attract dust? Because that's my main gripe with WD-40, besides the slipperiness.
Honestly, I've been sticking to those anti-slip tile cleaners lately. They're not flashy or anything, but at least no one's slipping around after a shower. Has anyone tried those textured tile sealers? I've heard mixed things—some say they're great for grip, others complain they're a pain to keep clean. I'm debating giving them a shot, but I'm still on the fence...
