Among the extra housekeeping tasks that are necessary to perform at intervals of a few weeks or even a few months, we can certainly include the odious but necessary elimination of floor tile mildew and dirt. 

Especially in the bathroom, mildew and dirt accumulate with relentless speed, creating a gray patina effect on the tiles and the highly visible dark-colored mildew trapped in the tile grout lines.

Many have learned at their own expense that cleaning these tiles is not easy at all and requires a lot of time, patience, and elbow grease.  So, it is only natural to ask --- are there any hacks that can help us?
