As a shower glass provider, we’ve been in a lot of bathrooms. Some of them are sparkling and pristine, and others could use a little TLC. We’re all concerned about keeping our homes clean for the sake of our health, but it can be hard to keep a space like your bathroom clean. The good news is that if you keep on top of it, you can have a sparkling-clean bathroom that looks great and isn’t covered in germs.
Join our team at Ocean Glass as we cover some effective methods to keep the germs at bay in your bathroom. It’s actually easy to make your bathroom sparkle!
Stick to a Schedule
Many people let their bathrooms get dirty because they wait too long between cleanings and let it become overwhelming. If this is you, don’t worry. Most of the things in your bathroom you need to clean are hard surfaces, so they actually don’t take long to clean. Tackling one thing at a time is the best way to go about it. Once you’ve gotten your bathroom to a baseline clean, establish a cleaning schedule and stick to it. Pick one day a week that is bathroom cleaning day, and stick to it. About once a month, you should do a “deep clean,” which is just a little extra scrubbing than your weekly wipe-down cleaning.
Use the Right Cleaners
If your goal is killing germs, you want to ensure you’re using effective cleaners. For maximum effectiveness, you should use bleach-based cleaners or make your own bleach solution. If you’re making your own, use a ratio of no more than 1 cup of bleach per 1 gallon of water. You also want to use effective cleaning tools. Items like sponges can hold onto germs, so you should throw them out after cleaning with them. If you want something you can reuse, clean with a cloth or towel you can toss in the washing machine.
Pay Attention to Problem Areas
All bathrooms have areas that get dirtier than others. Your toilet, for obvious reasons, so you’ll want to give it some extra attention. The shower also attracts germs, so you should wipe it down regularly. If you have a shower curtain, you should have a liner that you replace every three to six months. Shower glass is more hygienic (and it looks better), so if you really want to keep your bathroom clean, contact a shower glass provider to find out the best way to update your shower.
