The
bathroom is an area on the premise that has to be maintained with cleanliness.
Bathrooms bear the brunt of human waste, and hence, it is imperative to keep
them clean. From a hygiene point of view also, the area requires intensive
cleaning to be always fresh and inviting. Nobody likes to step into a dirty
bathroom. The idea of cleaning the bathroom may seem like an annoying task, but
regular cleaning will save you from the intensive cleaning scheduled for a
single session.
Hence, making it a habit to keep the bathroom clean regularly is an idea that will help you to maintain it sparkling clean. For some, cleaning the bathroom ranks the lowest in household chores simply because it is not a glamourous task. But it is an essential one. Moreover, a clean bathroom can easily impress your guests too. A few simple bathroom cleaning tips that you can adopt in your routine and make your lifestyle easy.
Tip:
1. Before starting with the actual business,
ensure that you take out everything from the bathroom to block your cleaning
process. Remove towels, cosmetics, essentials, and everything else that you
stock on the countertop so that cleaning is easy and quick. A clear area is
fast and simple to clean rather than a cluttered space with many items.
2. Always make it a
point to start cleaning from top to bottom. If you start from the bottom and
then head for the top, you may have to clean the underneath area again when
dirt falls from the top of the bathroom.
3. Keep essential cleaning agents ready with you like cleaners, gloves, toilet brushes, disinfectants. Also, keep a dry cloth handy.
Now, let’s get to business. Here are the tricks that can save your time and energy to keep your bathroom sparkling clean:
● Toilet cleaning DIY

do have home remedies straight out from your kitchen shelf for cleaning the
toilet bowl. Grab the cola can, open it, and drop the contents inside the bowl.

once and flush to find a sparkling clean bowl.
Alternatively,
you can also take the mouthwash and pour ¼ cup of the content into the bowl.

shower curtain in your bathroom is susceptible to developing mild dew due to
moisture present in the bathroom. Dip it in salt water before putting it up. A

it. Pour it in the affected area and let it sit for 20 minutes before scrubbing
and flushing.

affected area and let it stay there for 2 hours. Take a clean cloth and wipe it
afterward.

● Ceiling cleaning
It is easy to miss or skip the ceiling area while cleaning the bathroom. But if you look up, you will find mild dew and grime waiting to welcome you. It appears gross.

The solution is great for cleaning gruesome stains. Dip the mop brush in the solution, squeeze it, and then reach for the segment on the ceiling that appears dirty. Ensure wearing safety goggles to protect your eyes.
● Bathroom tiles cleaning

crevice is easy prey to attract dirt and grime. It looks awful, and hence
maintaining it clean is an inevitable task. However, you can make it simpler if

1. Make a thick paste of borax, water, and baking soda. Take a used
toothbrush and rub it on the affected surface with it. Wash it with clean water
after the scrubbing is over.

tiles and tubs around the sink area can appear gross with the accumulation of
dirt. Moreover, the acrylic and glass bathing units also attract water spots
and scums that require cleaning.

the solution to rub the affected surfaces.
2. Take ½ cup vinegar and ½ cup baking soda in 4 litres of hot
water. Allow the solution to sit in the affected area for some time before
scrubbing and washing it away.

have removable shower heads, take them off and keep them in a bag filled with
white vinegar and water for the night. The following morning, take it out from
the plastic bag, rinse it, and attach it back in place.
