Continue reading to discover 15 bathroom cleaning tips to make the job easier and quicker!

1. Clean Your Shower With Vinegar

White vinegar is the key to gleaming shower tiles, and it’s already in your cupboard. Heat the vinegar in the microwave and spray it on while it’s hot. If the scent bothers you, try adding a tablespoon of dish soap to the mixture. The soap will also help to cut through tough grime. 

2. Scrub Mildew With A Brush

If you have mildew or surface mold in your bathroom, a clean dish brush will help you get rid of it. To make a mold-busting cleanser, combine six cups of warm water and a quarter cup of bleach. Scrub the walls with this solution, then rinse thoroughly with a bucket or water or a handheld shower head sprayer.

3. Get Rid Of Mold Stains With Baking Soda

Apply a baking soda and water mixture to persistent mold and mildew spots that your dish brush and bleach solution won’t remove. Cover the stain with the paste and let it on the stain for three to four hours, followed by a thorough rinsing.

4. Use Baking Soda And Vinegar To Deodorize The Drain

If your drain is releasing unpleasant odours, a simple mixture of baking soda and vinegar will quickly remedy the situation. The vinegar and baking soda mixture starts to fizz and can help break up any congealed grease in your drain. It’s recommended to put one cup of baking soda and two cups of white vinegar down the drain, followed by a half-hour flush with hot water.

5. Use Dental Floss To Clean Small Parts Of Your Sink

Some areas of your sink are simply too small to be cleaned with a standard cleaning tool. Dental floss is a terrific way to remove buildup in the nooks and crannies of the faucet and handles.

6. Use Dryer Sheets To Nix Soap Scum

Having trouble removing soap scum from your shower or tub? Use a dryer sheet instead of a sponge. Using a dryer sheet, gently rub the affected region with a few droplets of water. Rinse the residue off to remove the majority of the gunk with a sponge or cloth.

7. Use A Dryer Sheet To Shine Your Faucet

A dryer sheet can help if your faucets are showing signs of wear. We recommend using dryer sheets to restore the shine to chrome fixtures.

8. Use A Denture Tablet To Clean Your Toilet

You don’t want to scrub your toilet? Then let a denture tablet do the heavy lifting. Drop one in, let it do its work, and then flush to remove toilet bowl stains and rust.

9. Squeegee Your Bathroom Window

You don’t want to scrub your toilet? Then let a denture tablet do the heavy lifting. Drop one in, let it do its work, and then flush to remove toilet bowl stains and rust. When cleaning, use snake-like sweeping motions. This will avoid streaking.

10. Wipe Lemon Over Chrome To Wipe Off Water Spots

Though water stains are unavoidable in areas where water is continually running (such as the shower and the sink), they are surprisingly easy—and inexpensive—to remove. All you have to do is wipe lemon over your stained chrome fixtures, and the blemishes should be gone in an instant. Furthermore, utilizing citrus as a cleaner will cover any unpleasant odours.

11. Deep Clean Your Toilet With A Screwdriver

Your toilet is definitely one of the dirtiest items in your home, but it’s also one of the most difficult to clean. You’ll be able to clean those hard-to-reach areas under the tank and around the screws the next time you clean, all with the help of your toolbox. Simply remove the toilet seat and lid, then reach into those tricky nooks and crannies with a screwdriver with the end wrapped in a disinfectant wipe.

12. Restore Your Mirror’s Shine With Black Tea

You want your bathroom mirror to be spotless so you can see how you look before leaving the house, but it’s often fogged up with water stains, dust, and other debris. What is the solution? Tea, black! Simply add a cup of boiling water with a couple bags of black tea, allow it cool, and then use the resulting solution to clean your hazy mirror. Tannic acid in the tea dissolves grime, resulting in a pristine surface that tells no lies.

13. Put Your Toothbrush Holder In The Dishwasher

It’s simple to allow your toothbrush holders to become filthy. However, cleaning the item is a breeze: simply place it in the dishwasher. Yes, that’s all!

14. Sweep Your Bathtub Clean

It’s not necessary to spend time scrubbing your entire bathtub using a sponge. Instead, apply soap to it, then sweep and scrape with a clean broom and rinse until all of the suds are gone. The broom will clean as well as a sponge, but the huge long-handled brush will require half the work.

15. Soak Your Shower Head In Vinegar

Do you have a clogged shower head? A good vinegar soak will do the trick. Simply remove your shower head and place it in a sealed plastic bag full of vinegar while you clean the rest of the bathroom. The vinegar will have broken down all the filth by the time you’re ready to handle it, making your work a breeze.
