subject: Can Bathroom Cleaning Really Help Bathroom Cleaning? [print this page] Are too many problem areas standing between you and a clean, gleaming bathroom? I know. Getting stuck cleaning the bathroom can be a nightmare. Thinking about those downright nasty surfaces to clean would discourage anyone. Here are some helpful tips to save you time and effort.
Mirrors: Spray glass cleaner on a cloth and wipe your cloudy mirrors using a circular motion. This is easier than spritzing your mirror directly with too much cleaner.
Walls: For occasional black spots on your walls use a mix of one cup chlorine bleach with one gallon warm water. Dip a scrub brush to this solution and paint your stained walls and rinse after a few minutes with a wet cloth.
Tip: Black spots are one thing black stains are another. For walls sporting ugly black stains it may be best to call in a professional to deal with that.
Floors: See hair everywhere on the floor? How about germs that you can't see? Dust falls to the floor so work from the top down. Then grab your faithful handheld vac and give the floors a thorough once over.
Shower doors: These seem to attract a stubborn scum which cries out for steel wool and elbow grease. Resist the call. Too much cleaning fire power can damage the aluminum metal frame and track. Even etch the glass. This only makes a bad problem worse. There are products designed for the task. Or get creative and use auto windshield water repellents to encourage the water to run off.
Tip: Can't wait to scrub the sink or tub? While cleaning something fill the sink with hot water and let it sit. The heat will loosen the grime and make it surprisingly easier to clean.
Shower curtains: Wash shower curtains in the washing machine along with an old towel or two. Use detergent and chlorine bleach and run on the gentle cycle. Remove, re-hang and let drip dry.
Soapy Crust: . To dissolve the build up use something mildly acidic like vinegar. Help that along by scraping that crust from tubs and showers using a plastic knife.
Tip: Use bleach based cleaners to kill bacteria and sanitize your bathroom.
Grout: A polishing type cleaner that has diluted chlorine works great when cleaning slimy grout. Using a brush, apply the pasty product on the tiles and scrub away. After it dries clean it off with a pail of water and a brush.
Faucets: Use lemon juice to attack lime scale build up on the taps. Rub it on, let it sit overnight and in the morning wipe it off with a damp cloth.
By spreading the bathroom cleaning over time you won't have to do it all in one day. Just follow these quick and easy steps to make your bathroom gleaming clean.
