When I decided to write an article about how to clean bathrooms I thought I would write about everyone's favorite subject...the toilet. We have a recipe for a great green toilet bowl cleaner that I wanted to share and this is probably the most dreaded cleaning job in the house.
But then I got thinking about a trick my grandmother taught me when I was just a kid about how to keep the shower looking clean and shiny all the time, and thought this would be a better topic...besides, I did not feel like talking about toilets.
The bathroom is another major obstacle in our pursuit of a clean home. It gets a LOT of use every day and often there is some pretty stinky activity taking place in there. Even more than the smell, the bathroom has several other obstacles that can slow you down. Like the toilet. The bathtub ring. Even the floor in some instances.
The shower presents its own set of unique circumstances. Wet and humid, the shower has the perfect conditions for breeding germs and mildew. Most of us run down to the local store to buy a bottle of the mold and mildew cleaner we saw advertised on television, give our shower a little spritz once a month or once a year, and the wonder why we have a dirty shower.
First off, you are wasting your money on those advertised products. Sure they have some pretty cool commercials, who doesn't like dancing animations of soap scum and mildew? But if you want to save money AND want a more effective cleaner just use household bleach instead!
Oh, I almost forgot about the trick my grandmother taught me to always keep the shower clean and shiny, wipe down the shower after every use. That's right, after every shower she would make us wipe down the entire shower with a towel, focusing mainly on the sides of the shower and the shower fixtures. She told us to use the towel we dried our bodies off with, but we recommend keeping another towel/rag in the bathroom for this specific purpose. Better yet, here is a great tip to make this process even easier...use a small squeegee to remove excess water from the shower walls. This will make VERY quick work of this task! Then use a small towel to wipe the shower fixtures.
This method prevents soap scum and mildew from building up on your shower and bathtub, and ensures that they are always clean and shiny. By being pro-active and "cleaning" the shower after every use we also eliminate a lot of work down the road. That is right, when it comes time to do a thorough cleaning and break out the household bleach the process will only take minutes because you won't have to scrub a month's worth of soap scum and mildew deposits.
Follow our recommendations on how to clean bathroom by making a few little changes, and you will improve the quality and speed of your cleaning.
