Bathrooms are one of the least pleasant rooms to clean, but one of the most used rooms in a home—what a conundrum. To help make cleaning your bathroom something you’ll actually want to accomplish, here’s 6 cleaning tips to help keep the bathroom sparkling clean and fresh.
To get the cleaning results you want, always use clean tools. A dirty mop does not absorb dirt well and leaves residue on the floor, and a vacuum that is filled with dust can’t suck up more. Cleaning supplies after every use so they are ready to go will make cleaning your actual bathroom less of a chore.
Between hair, nails, dead skin, and body products bathrooms get dusty. Use a duster to capture dust on countertops, window sills, and toilet tanks before you clean them. If you don’t, you’ll just push that grime around as you clean.
The shower curtain is a big magnet for scum and mildew, as it often stays damp after use. Opening bathroom windows is one way to help completely dry out the shower curtain. If you don’t have a window in your bathroom, vinegar and baking soda spritzes help keep mildew and mold at bay, which is important for both the look and health of your bathroom.
A squeegee that lives in your shower is perfect for cleaning the glass after every use. Hang it up and use it at the end of every shower—this is one of the best ways to keep hard-water deposits from building up on shower tiles and doors.
If you think your old toothbrush is worthless, think again. It is the perfect tool for cleaning tight spaces like shower door tracks or those tiny spaces behind sink faucets. Or, if you have a drawer full of takeout chopsticks, put them to good use. Wrap a microfiber cloth around a chopstick to clean small fixtures and crevices that can be tricky to reach.
Invest in microfiber cloths for cleaning. They are highly effective at trapping dirt and bacteria, and they work well for wiping down surfaces without leaving streaks or lint behind.
Keeping your bathroom sparkling clean doesn’t have to be a dreaded chore. With the right tools, techniques, and a little consistency, you can maintain a fresh, hygienic space that’s pleasant to use—and easier to clean over time. And remember, a clean bathroom starts with well-maintained plumbing!
