But before I told you how I did it, I want tell you first how this all came about! (If you want to skip the story, the directions are below or pin this for later!) After debating what to do with them, I realised that I didn’t want to cover the tiles again when we come to carpeting this room. I love that they are a little piece of history in the house and I feel like if you’re going to have a fireplace, it should have a hearth whether it’s useable or not. (I also can’t help but think of the styling opportunities! Ha!). Now I have talked about enough Victorian fireplaces over the years ( here, here and here) to understand that sometimes, restoration is best, sometimes renovation is better and a lot of times there is just no specific right answer.

Anything of a nature that for hygiene or associated health and safety - this includes the Outdoor Spas, Mattresses and Divan Sets The hero of this restoration is the Lithofin Tile Restorer because it does exactly what it says on the tin. A lot of the surface grime will come up immediately with this but I did find that the more stubborn areas of ground-in dirt and paint took a little longer. So this is how I did it. Tip the bottle directly onto your scrubbing sponge (or a small amount on the tiles if you are using the scrubbing brushes) and start working the liquid into a small patch of tiles at a time. I found it was best to concentrate on only two or three tiles at a time and work my way around. Step 2 Once everything has been lifted up, use the sponge cloth (again dipped in the clean water and rung out) to run over the tiles you’ve just cleaned and remove any remaining tile restorer residue from your tiles.Then move on to the next section of tiles and the next in the same way until they are all clean. Step 5 As you may be aware, I’m still beavering away on renovating my combination office/dressing room but I just had to share this little DIY update with you because I couldn’t believe just how easy it was. In the room, I have this tiny corner Victorian fireplace – it isn’t a working fireplace but it’s just so sweet and special that I knew I wanted it to make the best of this original feature in our old house. For instance, in our living room downstairs, I took the decision to paint over the tiled hearth (which were exactly the same tiles you see above) as they just didn’t work with the colours we had in the living room and as I was already re-painting the fireplace tiles, I figured I’d do those at the same time.

When the old vinyl flooring was ripped up, I was overjoyed to see there was actually a tiled hearth hiding beneath. I was delighted because I knew these would have been the original tiles that were laid 130 years ago when the house was built. I’ve seen these particular tiles in my home in a few different locations – they are the same tiles we have on the steps outside the front door and they were also used in the hearth in our living room.One or more scrubbing sponges (these were fine for a small job but if you’ve got a larger area to cover, I’d recommend heavy-duty scrubbing brushes instead)
