What you need?

Windows

Keep your windows open at all times so that fresh air comes in while you are cleaning. The circulating air will reduce the humidity and make the bathroom less hospitable to bacteria and mold.

 

Start at the bottom

Toilet and shower

Pour in a toilet cleaner and let it stay until you are done with scrubbing your bathtub. Next pour the vinegar in a plastic bag enough to immerse your shower head. Tie the plastic bag and leave it overnight. Next morning, remove the bag, wash and rinse. Take off the shower curtain, Plastic shower curtains and liners can go in the washing machine as usual, wash it with old towels and hang to dry.

Shower doors

For cleaning glass shower doors, prepare a solution – mix one part of distilled white vinegar with 3 parts distilled water in a bowl and microwave for 60 seconds. Now pour this solution into a spray bottle and spray onto glass. Let it sit for 3 to 5 minutes. Pat it dry using a microfiber cloth from top to bottom for extra sparkle. 

Grout

For grout nothing says clean like bright white grout lines. The unfortunate thing about grout is that it is porous, which makes it a perfect environment for harboring bacteria colonies. You can use any commercial grout cleaner, if you don’t have it, you can easily prepare it at home by mixing ½ cup baking soda, ¼ cup hydrogen peroxide, 1 teaspoon dish soap.  Apply the mixture to the grout, and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Lastly scrub the area hard with a grout brush and rinse. You should also consider sealing your grout every six months to block moisture buildup.

For the bathtub, fill it with hot water for some time. Sprinkle baking soda, and two tablespoon of dish soap. Use a stiff brush or sponge to scrub the tub. If your tub has stains, you might consider using a commercial cleaner.

 

Counters

Now spray the countertops, tile, walls and the ceiling with all-purpose cleaner. Now close the door and let the hot shower run for 5 minutes to build the steam, so that steam and cleaner both mix together in order to effectively clean the bathroom.Use a clean cloth for the surfaces, and clean dry microfiber mop for the walls and ceilings. A fresh coat of wax on your tiles every 12-months will help keep watermarks at bay and reduce your workload.

  1. Thank you, I will definitely make use of these tips. I’m just wondering though, will the vinegar solution linger in the cleaned areas? Or will I need to wipe something on it after it dries to remove the smell?
