The smell of bleach. Those hard-to-reach crevices that you just can’t get at with a sponge. Scrubbing off soap scum …
Let’s face it, there’s absolutely nothing fun about cleaning a bathroom! Unless you’re hiring a Commercial Cleaning company!
Sure, there are cleaning products and specially formulated chemicals to tackle every job. But there are some better and easier ways to get the deep clean that you want.
Ready to learn some fun new tricks? Here are seven bathroom cleaning tips you’ll wish you knew sooner!
1. Get Rid of Mold With Baking Soda
In bathrooms, especially in tubs and showers, it’s easy for mold and mildew to form. At the first sign of mold or mildew, you have to address it.
But you don’t need harsh chemicals to do so. A simple mixture of baking soda and water can do the trick.
Mix baking soda and water to create a paste, then spread it generously on visible areas of mold or mildew. Let the paste sit for about three to four hours, then rinse it off with your showerhead or wipe it off with a sponge.
2. Clean Chrome With Lemons
Do you have shiny chrome fixtures on your sink, in your tub, or on your toilet tank? A fresh lemon from your bathroom can get rid of water spots on chrome and restore its shiny, reflective finish.
To clean chrome with citrus, just cut a lemon in half and rub it on your fixtures wherever you see water spots. The acidity in the lemon is powerful enough to make those pesky water spots disappear.
3. Remove Rust With Toothpaste
Unless you clean, rinse, and dry every surface in your bathroom after every use, it’s very likely that you’ll start to see a build-up of rust over time.
Luckily, there’s an easy way to take care of that too:
Toothpaste.
Rust forms easily in shower wall grout lines and around drains. The next time you start to see little bits of rust appear, put a dollop of toothpaste on an old toothbrush and scrub it off. Just be sure to use the traditional white paste, not the gel-type toothpaste.
As with all stains, it’s always easier to tackle rust when you first notice it. Don’t let stains build up. The longer you wait to clean them, the harder they’ll be to remove.
4. Clean Toilets Without Chemicals
Walk down the cleaning aisle of any grocery store or big-box store and you’ll see endless toilet cleaners and bowl cleaners. Regardless of their formula or scent, they all promise to make your toilet sparkle and shine inside and out.
The problem is that a lot of those products contain harsh chemicals
