While high gloss tiles look luxurious in the home and are easy to clean, Kacie said these tiles aren’t ideal for those who don’t mop often.
‘Here’s the trick to high gloss tiles. If you’re a low maintenance kind of person, the trick is to rip them up and replace with something else,’ she said.
‘But if you like cleaning all the time, all you need it a little bit of metho or dishwashing liquid, super hot water [and] a flat mop.’
The video has since gone viral and been viewed more than 400,000 times.
Many were amazed by the transformation, though some had further questions to ponder.
‘Can I do this on shiny wooden floors too?’ one person asked, to which Kacie said: ‘Yes! Very little but super hot water is important on those too.’
Others who have high gloss tiles seemed eager to try the simple tip to make the floors sparkle.
