Our bathrooms are places that appear on the top of our regular cleaning lists. Since it is the place where we clean ourselves, there is a constant accumulation of dirt and grime that can ruin the look and feel of your bathroom. Cleaning the bathroom is never an enjoyable task; one tends to leave it for the very last if possible. There are some simple steps one can follow to keep the bathroom clean but if you are looking for easier ways to finish this chore, there are plenty of hacks that can help you.
If not cleaned daily, bathroom counters can gather all kinds of grime. To remove the filth mix equal parts of water and vinegar; dip a soft-bristled brush into the solution and scrub the counter in circular motions. Heat the mixture and apply it to the counter to remove stubborn stains. To buff your bathroom countertop, just dry it and spray it with lemon oil; then crush an old sheet of newspaper into a ball and use it to buff the surface.
You’re often too preoccupied with cleaning the fixtures and tiles in your bathroom to notice the ceiling. If you look up, you’ll likely see mildew, stains, and accumulated filth. Fill a mop bucket with equal parts water and white vinegar to clean it quickly. After that, put on goggles or other eye protection. Dip a sponge mop with a long handle into the solution, squeeze it out, and reach up to clean one portion of the ceiling at a time. If you haven’t cleaned in a long time, there is likely a lot of accumulated grime. Rather than tackle it yourself, hire a good house cleaning service for assistance.
Grout lines, like stainless steel, collect dirt quickly. When filth and soap scum gather on them, they quickly discolour. As a result, when cleaning your bathroom floor, it’s essential not to neglect grout lines. To do so, combine lemon juice and cream of tartar; apply the mixture to the grout with an old toothbrush and let it sit for 20 minutes. After that, carefully scrub the grout lines with the same toothbrush for a few seconds before rinsing the paste away.
Simply combine one part white vinegar, half a part rubbing alcohol (ideally at a 70% concentration), and two parts water in a spray bottle to create a bathroom window, shower screen, and mirror cleaning solution. When it comes to cleaning windows with vinegar, use it only on cool days when the sun isn’t shining directly on the glass, then buff with a microfibre cloth to get a streak-free finish. Leave the windows open to get rid of the pungent vinegar smell.
Simply squeeze a small amount of toothpaste onto an old toothbrush and scrape away at hard-water rust stains on commodes, tubs, and sinks. Alternatively, you can scrub the stain with a borax-lemon juice paste or a turpentine-salt solution. Rust stains should be addressed as soon as possible, regardless of the approach you use. It’ll be easier to get rid of them if you deal with them right away.
