We believe that keeping your bathroom clean and functional will end up saving you on costs of extensive bathroom renovations that could be required if you don’t pay enough attention when required. This means you can revamp the bathroom design by only making small changes, like the addition of one or two accessories. Also, your bathroom design is improved if you keep it clean and well ventilated.

Let’s take at 8 simple tips to help you out:

1. Walls and Windows:

For the wall tiles you need to attack the grout. It is important that you inspect and repair walls and then scrub them with a brush and a solution of one gallon water with 3/4 cup of non-chlorine or hydrogen peroxide based bleach. You can clean glazed tiles with a non abrasive cream cleanser or even a tile cleanser. Make sure you wipe down the tiles properly to avoid soap build-up. Add a row of hooks to hang your towels and robes on.

2. Ceilings:

Completely wet the ceiling, and then scrub with an all purpose cleaner and a sponge or a rag. Check for mildew and wash away with a mild, non-chlorine or a hydrogen peroxide based bleach solution. This is better for the environment, also.

3. Shower & Tub:

If you have an enamel tub, then use a non-abrasive cleanser, and for acrylic or fibreglass tubs, you should be gentle; don’t use abrasives or scouring pads. Follow the instruction manual for air jets or water jet tubs. If you don’t have a niche for shampoos, then add a caddy bag that can hold the bottles and can be hung from the shower faucet. You can also add a retractable clothesline for wet clothes.

4. Shower Door/ Curtain:

Throw the curtain in for a wash and if the liner has a soap build-up, wipe it with a non-chlorine or hydrogen peroxide based bleach solution. For the door you can use a glass cleaner, or a solution of vinegar and water, which works wonders.

5. Toilets & Showerheads:

There is large build-up of lime if the water is really hard. You can occasionally use a lime-scale remover to get rid of build-ups and clogs.

6. Sinks & Countertops:

Make sure you repair leaky taps and clean the sinks regularly. Clear the countertops often as well and try to keep them clutter free and store away as many things as possible.

7. Vanity or Medicine Cabinet:

Empty this out completely and wash it thoroughly with a non-abrasive cleanser. Before putting the removed items back, go through them and get rid of the stuff you don’t need. Check expiry dates on medicines and ointments and also get rid of crumbly old eye shadows and those unnecessary toiletries. You can also get cool suitable styles of drawers for organising your items, like makeup containers.

8. Floor

Last but not least is the floor. Non-glazed tiles can withstand some good scrubbing with an abrasive cleanser. Marble requires some non-abrasive cleansers and non-acidic ones, too.
