We use our bathrooms everyday, therefore it is one of the most favourite places for bacteria to spread. Cleaning your bathroom should not be a hard work if done properly and regularly and you do not even need to invest in expensive products. You can do wonders by using the contents of your kitchen cupboard.

Bathtub. Give attention to your bathtub as you use it every day and so the right amount of time must be spent on cleaning it. Firstly give it a good rinse. If you have a shower curtain, remove it and wash it separately. Then sprinkle baking soda over the wet surface of the tub. The moisture from the rinse helps the baking soda stick to the tub. Use a stiff scrub brush to scrub the tub. The baking soda will form a paste with the water and act as an abrasive to remove mildew and stains. Scrub it off. Then dip a sponge with a green scrubby attached into some vinegar and continue scrubbing the tub. The vinegar is a disinfectant, and it will activate the baking soda to help remove stains even more. Rinse the baking soda and vinegar off the tub.

Cleaning a Bathroom Sink. It is important to clean sinks regularly to avoid spread of harmful bacteria.
Vinegar works wonders. Fill a small bucket half way with vinegar, and soak toothbrush holders, razors and razor holders, and anything else you keep on your bathroom sink that’s been covered with toothpaste, soap, and water spots. Vinegar descales and dissolves water spots and soap residues almost instantly. Soak the entire surface of the sink with vinegar using a sponge and leave for a little while, maybe 5 minutes. Scrub the entire surface of the sink from the top, down. There is no reason to rinse the vinegar off. Simply wipe everything dry. Scrub the items you’ve been soaking and dry them off without rinsing them in water as well.

Bathroom Tiles. Different tiles will need different products so always be aware and careful. For cleaning ceramic, porcelain, or glass bathroom tiles you’ll need soft sponge, vinegar in a spray bottle, salt, baking soda, lemon juice and warm water. Spray vinegar on the tiles and scrub with a damp sponge. There’s no need to rinse the vinegar away; it will evaporate and leave no residue or smell. If the tiles are still dirty, mix water, baking soda, and salt in equal parts. Rub this paste onto the tile with the sponge. When done, rinse out the sponge and use it to remove the paste residue from the tile. Then dip rinsed sponge in lemon juice and coat the tile. This will remove traces of soap and oils and make the tile look shiny. This also does not need to be rinsed off.

If you are cleaning tiled floors, simply mop the floor with soapy water and let it air dry.
