4) Basic Sink Cleaning
This typically isn’t as bad as the other areas, but it still needs some love and attention. As with the other steps, spray the sink itself with your cleaning spray and scrub away, using the heavier stuff only if necessary. Be sure to use window cleaner or a vinegar solution on the mirror to finish it off!
5) Basic Floor Cleaning
The reason we do the floors last is so if anything falls to the ground from the sink or the toilet or wherever else during the cleaning process, you can get it all at the end (and, of course, because you can’t clean in there while the floor is wet). First, start by either sweeping or vacuuming the bathroom floor to get the dust out. After that, you can clean the grout by using grout cleaner and a wire brush. After that, you can either mop or use a Swiffer Wet Jet on the floor to finish everything off.
6) Bathtub and Shower Deep Cleaning Hack
Want to really make that bathtub shine? Simply add 1 part Dawn dish soap to 1 part vinegar in a dish-wand, seal it tight and it’s ready to go. Run the water in the shower to get it lightly coated, and scrub away to your heart’s content. The mixture cuts right through the soap scum, leaving a squeaky-clean feel to your oh-so-loved shower!
7) Deep Clean the Showerhead
Okay, this hack is extremely easy. Can you guess the main ingredient? That’s right; vinegar! There’s a reason this powerhouse ingredient is in almost every natural cleaner. It is effective! So to get that nasty buildup off of your showerhead, immerse the head in a plastic resealable bag filled with vinegar, secure the bag with a rubber band, and let it sit for around an hour. When you remove the bag, run the shower for a minute or two, and then give it a quick wipe down. You’ll be amazed at the difference and will never run out of vinegar again.
8) Dry the Toilet Brush
A tip so simple, you would hardly believe it’s a hack. Yet I can’t even begin to describe how many times I went to clean my toilet right after mopping the bathroom floor. It seems like no big deal until you drip dirty, old toilet water all over your fresh floor when you go to scrub! Allow the brush to drip-dry each time you use it by wedging it between the bowl and the seat.
9) Deep Clean Grout
Here is a hack I know many a lady will LOVE! You know that really gross mold that builds up in the grout between tiles and the caulking where the tub meets the wall? Yeah, that brownish-black muck that we all hate. Well, now you can virtually wipe it out! All you need to do is mix just enough bleach with baking soda to make a thick paste. Make enough to line every place you see the mold in your shower (works on countertops too). Then lay it on thick and let it sit for at least eight hours. Wipe off the paste, gently scrubbing any stubborn bits off with a toothbrush, and give it a rinse. Bam! No more nasty shower muck in your grout.
10) Remove Hard Water Stains Using a Lemon
Yep. It’s as simple as it looks. Cut a lemon in half and use each half like a little scrub brush, thoroughly going over all the stains. This works especially well on chrome fixtures.
