In today's text, I share my experience of cleaning tiles and grout in the bathroom with soap. There is sometimes confusion about whether bathrooms can tolerate soap, even though it is a type of soap. I will explain the process I use, so follow along!
Can you clean tiles and tile joints with soap? This is a question we get sometimes. Sometimes people also say that they have heard that they have a bathroom that cannot tolerate soap.
Here's the thing, soap is a type of soap. You can say that they are very "close relatives". They are made in the same way, when you make soap you use sodium hydroxide and when you make soap you use potassium hydroxide, otherwise the processes are similar.
No one would claim that you build bathrooms with tiles that cannot tolerate soap, I would probably dare to say that the whole point of a bathroom is that you can use soap there, so of course tiles, clinkers and grout tolerate both soap and soap.
Here at home we have a bathroom that is fully tiled and the shower has tiles with light gray grout and the same tiles, the same grout has been here for almost 24 years now. I dare say that I have soap-scrubbed it very many times, perhaps more times than most people ;)
Below you can see a before and after picture.
Here I have deliberately refrained from scrubbing the grout to be able to take before and after pictures and a short video showing how I do it.
Before
After
I use a soft brush, bathroom soap in a bottle and warm water. Then I just rinse off and let the wall dry. Then it looks like this afterwards.

1. What is the difference between soap and soap when it comes to
Soap is made with sodium hydroxide while soap is made with potassium hydroxide, but both processes are basically similar.
Yes, tiles and grout in bathrooms usually tolerate both soap and soap.
A soft brush, bathroom soap and warm water are used to clean tiles and grout.
