7 Bathroom Cleaning Tips

Regular cleaning ensures that you are on top of the grimey issues challenging your bathroom’s hygiene. Let us take a look at how to keep each segment of your bathroom visibly spotless.

Glass Doors

Let’s start with white vinegar. Just fill it up in a spray bottle and use is post-shower on the doors. This will keep the soap scum and water spots at bay. Next, we have the shaving cream. Take a dollop and spread it onto the glass surface. Wipe it off with the help of a dry cloth. This procedure with preventing the scum buildup and fogging up of the glass screens.

Oil and water don’t mix. This means that you can use vegetable oil to create a protective film over the glass doors in your shower. Use a paper towel or the sponge to spread the oil evenly all over the glass.

Furniture polish is another useful remedy that will protect and prevent future damage. Use a clean cloth to coat the entire glass surface with the polish. Then use another dry cloth to wipe off the excess.

Toilet

Someone’s gotta do it. And if you are not lucky enough to get a thorough housekeeping service, you need to do it by yourself. But there are a number of simple tricks that can make this task easier for you. Get a fizzy cola and dump it into the bowl. Let it sit for an hour. And scrub it all off with a toilet brush before you press flush.

You can use a couple of antacid/Vitamin C/denture tablets too to clean the toilet. Just drop them in an leave it as it is for half an hour. Then let the toilet brush do its thing and press flush for that sparkling clean look. You can use one-fourth cup of mouthwash too for the same procedure for more or less similar results.

Ceiling

This tip is for only those who thrive in a clean environment. All the steam and soapy mess take a toll on the bathroom ceiling too. The simplest solution to this problem is a bucket full of equal parts of water and white vinegar.

Don’t start this process without sturdy protective goggles. Take a long-armed mop and dip it into the mixture. Wring it to squeeze out the excess solution and get started on the ceiling, one column at a time. Do it with a partner or divide it over multiple days to make sure that you don’t throw your back out in the process.

Bathroom Tiles

The dirt and germs fester in the crevices of the bathroom tiles. They seem to be the most difficult to clean if you don’t know the right tricks. Take a solution of two parts baking soda, one part water, and borax each and mix together to get a paste consistency. Now apply it with a toothbrush and leave it on for an hour before rinsing it away or wiping off with a damp sponge.

Next, we have the household bleach and a cotton ball that can be kept in place with gaffer tape. Leave it on the bathroom tiles or walls for a couple of hours. Rinse it away with a dry and clean cloth. The mouthwash solution and a new eraser can also be used to rub away the dirt.

Sink

A number of cleaning solutions can be used to clean the unkempt sink. Try a mixture of household ammonia, borax, and warm water. Or apply some toothpaste on a toothbrush and coat the entire dirty section.

A solution of turpentine and salt can also work wonders. Or try the lemon juice and borax paste for the exceptional results. Usually, you are supposed to keep any of these coatings on for around 30-60 minutes. Next, just rinse it off without wasting too much water. And your bathroom sink will feel almost as good as new.

Showerhead

A clogged showerhead makes the entire process of showering redundant. It is the mineral deposits from the hard water that usually is the culprit. Or the harmful mixture of moisture/steam and dirt can also clog up the shower pores for good.

All you need to do is get your hands on some white vinegar or denture tablets. You need to keep the showerhead submerged in this solution for at least 2 hours till overnight. A removable shower head can easily be soaked in such a solution.

Otherwise, fill up the solution in a strong plastic bag with no holes. Tape it onto the showerhead in a way that the head is totally under the solution. Later, take a toothpick or needle to poke out the grime from the showerhead. Wipe off the showerhead’s surface with a white vinegar solution.
