How To Clean The Bathroom

Deep Cleaning Your Bathroom

Bathroom cleaning is not high on people's list of favorite tasks. Use these tips to clean it quickly and make your bathroom shine.

Gather your cleaning supplies and tools which include a bucket, scrub brush, an old toothbrush, sponges, your disinfectant, mold and mildew remover, etc.

Spray the bathtub and the shower with your bleach or mold and mildew remover and let it sit. After you spray down the shower and bath tub, spray the commode inside and out with disinfectant.

Pour some disinfectant into the toilet bowl and wipe down the rim, the outside of the bowl, and the base of the toilet and the seat. Take your scrub brush and scrub the inside. Flush and then the worst part of cleaning your bathroom is done.

Move on to the sink, take all items off the counter and then spray the sinks and countertops with your disinfectant. Use the toothbrush to scrub any mold or mildew in the faucet or the sink. Then wipe the faucets, counter and then the sink.

Now start scrubbing the bathtub and shower which you spayed down previously. Since the stain has been sprayed with mold and mildew remover, the job is 1/2 done already. Soap scum build up can be a pain. Tackle it with a scrub brush and scrub the tub and enclosure. When the tub and walls are scrubbed clean, take a toothbrush and scrub the faucet and the drain. Rinse the tub and shower. Wipe it down with a dry clean rag.

Cleaning Bathroom Tubs and Shower Stalls

The alkaline in water causes spots on your glass shower doors. Squeegee them after each shower to prevent buildup. You can eliminate soap scum by switching to liquid soap.

Clean your showers once a week, (I use soft scrub with bleach), if the soap scum has built up and will not budge (some elbow grease may be necessary) get some Kaboom or other acid-base cleaner, spray on, let it sit then simply scrub it off. Use a scrubby to get stubborn areas. Test a spot to make sure it won’t scratch the fiberglass.

Cleaning The Commode

Ring around your commode? Either alkaline water or other deposits will cause those rings. Depending on the hardness of your water, pour one or two cups of white vinegar to stop those rings.

Toilet bowl rings? Follow these instructions carefully or you will scratch the inside of the toilet bowl. First, turn off the water and then flush. Saturate a handful of heavy-duty paper towels with plain white vinegar. Place the towels around the edge of the ring stain and cover all areas. Keep the paper towels in place over night or at least for several hours, until the water spots or stain starts to dissolve.

If the white vinegar does not work well to dissolve the stain, get a cleaning pumice stone (available at the grocery store) and find an old stiff toothbrush. Wet the pumice stone and make sure to keep it wet. Gently, rub the pumice stone across the stain. Keep the pumice stone wet. When pumice has built up on the sides of the stain, use a stiff brush and keep scrubbing at the stain. Keep scrubbing until the stain disappears. Pumice will damage and scratch the toilet if not used correctly. Be gentle..
