Are you looking for tips on how to clean your bathroom quickly and efficiently? On the surfaces of this ruin of the house appear traces of limestone and mold? We will teach you the best techniques and grandmother’s tricks for a quick and effective cleaning of your bathroom in just a few minutes.
How to clean your bathroom thoroughly?
Cleaning a bathroom is not always tedious and time-consuming. In fact, it is possible to spend 5 minutes washing dirty surfaces, cleaning tile grout, and cleaning the toilet bowl.
Step 1: How do I clean the bathroom and prepare the cleaning products?
To clean your bathroom as efficiently as possible, the first step is to clear as much space as possible and prepare your cleaning supplies. First, remove the hygiene products from the shower and shelves, set aside the bathmats and put your used bath towels in the washing machine. Then prepare the cleaning products and provide yourself with sponges and microfiber towels. We advise you to turn on music and not be distracted by your phone nearby.
Step 2: Scrub dirty toilets – Use white vinegar.
Prepare a mixture of equal parts of white vinegar and water and pour it into a spray bottle. Spray the required amount of this disinfecting cleaner into the toilets (bowls, walls, etc.) and scrub with the toilet brush. Leave it on while you clean the rest of the toilet (seat, lid, outer part of the toilet). During this time, take a cloth soaked in detergent and descaling agent and swipe it over all surfaces such as the tank, lid and base. Remember to thoroughly clean the flushing mechanism and consider lowering the toilet lid while flushing, as harmful airborne bacteria can spread, as detailed in a study published in the National Library of Medicine.
Step 3: Wash the bottom of the tub or shower – baking soda is your ally
Hair, dead skin, shower gel or soap residues… can end up in your bathtub or shower and you want to get rid of them? This place is full of bacteria, mold and traces of limestone. Ideally, you clean your bathtub or shower after each use and make sure that this space is perfectly ventilated.
To clean it quickly, prepare a paste of baking soda. To do this, mix three tablespoons of this white powder with one tablespoon of water and apply it in the bathtub, without forgetting the shower head. Leave on for a few minutes and then rub with a sponge. Rinse off with warm water. So if you do this frequently, the stubborn dirt should disappear more easily.
Step 4: Quickly clean the sink and faucet
Nothing could be easier! To remove buildup of toothpaste or soap, simply soak a sponge soaked in white vinegar and run it over the entire surface of the sink, including the faucet.
Step 5: Wash the mirrors
Wash your mirror only if it has stains or splatters. Spray vinegar water directly on the mirror surface, rub it with a sponge or newspaper and you’re done! White vinegar is very effective, and its smell disappears in a few minutes. Don’t worry about it!
Step 6: Sweep and wash the floor and tiles – without forgetting the grout lines.
If you don’t have a vacuum robot, grab a broom and sweep your floor. Then mix half a cup of vinegar in a bucket of hot water and use a mop to clean your floor and a cloth soaked in the product to clean your wall tiles. Use baking soda paste on dirty tile joints. Spread it on the joints, let it soak in and then rub it off with an old toothbrush. Rinse it off and your tiles will all be clean. Once the floor is dry, lay out your clean bathmats and change towels.
Step 7: Perfume your bathroom
This is the last step before you find a clean and fresh bathroom. Here are some tips for your home to aromatize your space and eliminate bad odors. As you like!
If you like the scent of citrus, cut some lemon slices and mix some thyme or rosemary leaves, some cedar or pine branches and a cinnamon stick in a jar. The resulting mixture will fill your bathroom with a pleasant fresh scent. A true olfactory delight!
If you like the scent of roses, take a few roses and remove their petals without breaking them. Then place them on absorbent paper and microwave them on a plate for one minute at maximum power. Finally, let them air dry for about 48 hours. This will give you a potpourri that you can place in your bathroom and also use as a decorative object!
Do you prefer a fresh scent instead? It’s very simple: you heat the juice of a lemon and a few mint leaves and boil it even slightly in a small amount of water. Then pour the liquid into a sprayer. The contents will not only serve as an air freshener for your bathroom but will also repel insects!
You no longer have excuses to procrastinate … With these tips, cleaning the bathroom will be less tedious. Either way, it will be faster!
