6 brilliant tricks you ‘ll use every time you clean the bathroom
One of the worst chores you can have? Cleaning the bathroom. The little disgusting things you’re sure to find in your drain or bathtub are enough to make you avoid bathroom chores. But, like anything else, the bathroom needs to be cleaned. We’d say (because so much unpleasantness can happen there) that the bathroom even needs a little more care than other parts of your home.
If you’re like most of us and dread this obnoxious task, we have some great tips for you! These 7 cleaning tips are quick, easy and will make your least favorite task a breeze.
Check out the video below to see these 7 bathroom cleaning tips.
- CLEAN THE MIRROR
The bathroom mirror is so gross. Covered in dust, makeup and toothpaste, when I leave mine too far away, I can barely see my face. Spraying cleaning products or water on paper towels tends to leave streaks and stains. Try this technique instead.
Brew REALLY strong tea – like 3 black tea bags and nothing else. Pour the tea into a spray bottle and use it to clean your mirror without staining! Instead of a paper towel, try newspaper for less streaking.
- CLEAN UP SHOWER RESIDUE
No one likes to shower looking at soap scum. Yuck. Get rid of that grime by filling a dishwasher with half vinegar and half dish soap. This will get rid of the shower grime and have your tub sparkling in no time. - GET RID OF HARD WATER STAINS
Those unsightly stains on your metal equipment, like faucets? You know the ones. It’s impossible to get rid of them. Try scrubbing the metal with… a lemon. Yes, just a lemon. This all-natural trick will make your bathroom smell great and the acid in citrus will remove hard water stains.
Don’t like lemon? Try wrapping metal in rags soaked in distilled white vinegar. The stains will break down the same way and you won’t get lemon juice in your eyes.
Use a cleaning toothbrush to get to those hard to reach places!
- CLEAN TOOTHBRUSH HOLDERS
This is too simple. When your toothbrush holder gets clogged with soap scum and unnecessary dirt, don’t struggle to clean it. Just put it in the dishwasher and let the technology do the work for you. - CLEAN YOUR TOILET
Your toilet’s best friend? White vinegar. This all-natural cleaning solution kills germs, bacteria and mold, and gets rid of scum for a sparkling clean. Plus, you can use it anywhere.
Pour vinegar into the top of your toilet and let it sit while you spray vinegar around the seat and clean.
Soak a paper towel in vinegar and place it under the rim of the toilet. Let it sit while you scrub the bowl with vinegar and your toilet brush. Remove the paper towel, scrub under the rim with a cleaning toothbrush, then flush for a thorough cleaning.
6. CLEAN THE LINT FROM YOUR DRYER
Bonus tip! This tip may not be appropriate for the bathroom, but if you’re going to clean, you might as well clean the dryer too!
Lint that accumulates in dryers is the cause of hundreds of house fires each year, but this disaster is so easy to avoid. To get to those hard-to-reach places, attach an empty paper towel roll to the end of your vacuum hose, stick it in the dryer and get to work.
