How to Clean and Shine Tiles?Bringing back the shine and luster to your tiles doesn’t require harsh chemicals or expensive treatments. With some wisdom passed down through generations, you can utilize natural, effective methods to clean and rejuvenate your tiles, making them look as good as new. Here’s how to do it using simple, natural ingredients: 1. Linseed Oil for a Luxurious Shine Suitable For: Terracotta, cement, and unglazed ceramic tiles. Method: Apply a small amount of linseed oil onto a clean, dry cloth. Rub the oil gently into the tiles, ensuring an even coat without overapplying, as excess oil can make the tiles slippery. Results: The oil will penetrate the tiles, restoring their natural shine. Allow it to dry naturally, and repeat if necessary for additional gloss. 2. Potato Cooking Water for Grease-Busting Innovative Use: After boiling potatoes, save the water instead of throwing it away. How It Works: The starch in the water acts as a natural absorbent for grease and grime. Application: Once cooled, use the potato water to mop your tile floors. The starch will help lift grease, leaving your tiles clean and shiny. Continued on next page

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and ground cinnamon.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the cinnamon sugar topping.

Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar topping over the batter. Add the remaining batter and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar topping on top.

Use a knife to swirl the batter and cinnamon sugar topping together.

Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
