How to Properly Clean Your Bathroom with Natural Products

Keeping your bathroom clean and tidy is one of the biggest challenges of maintaining a clean household. Dirt and dust accumulates more quickly in the washroom than in any other room, and a dirty bathroom is one of the last things you want in your household. That said, there are a variety of heavy duty cleaning products in the market to help, but these products often contain harmful agents that can cause a variety of allergic reactions. There are several natural cleaning products we recommend you can use to remove the dirt in your bathroom. These include white vinegar, baking soda, and distilled water. These natural cleaning products will help you tackle dirt and make your bathroom sparkling.

When cleaning your bathroom, you’re going to need the necessary tools to complete your deep bathroom cleaning. First and foremost, you’ll need to invest into microfiber clothes. These are the recommended cleaning tools we use to clean hundreds of homes every year. Microfiber cloths leave behind zero fibers, and are easily reusable. You can find microfiber cloths at your local cleaning supplier or retail store.

How to Clean Bathroom Tiles and Flooring

Bathrooms are the among the most difficult rooms to clean and are a high risk factor for grout. Because of the high levels of moisture that come from taking showers and baths, bathroom floors often go on to develop grout. Although many peoples’ first thought is to use bleach to disinfect and clean their floors, bleach is often too harsh and not necessary for cleaning purposes. To clean bathroom floors naturally, grab a microfiber cloth, scouring powder, and a bucket of distilled water.

In order to make an effective, natural cleaning mixture, mix approximately 80 grams of scouring powder, and 60mL of distilled water. This mixture will create a cleaning paste that can be used to remove any bathroom floor stains you encounter. We recommend using a cleaning brush to thoroughly and deeply brush the paste deeply into your floor, but if you have an old toothbrush laying around, that works too.

How to Unclog Drains and Sinks

Firstly, boil some hot water, and then pour it down the clogged drain. Next, add baking soda, and leave it to settle for a few minutes. Then pour some white vinegar, and some additional boiling water into the drain. Plug the drain to contain the reaction between the baking soda and vinegar for 10 minutes. Then use some more boiling water to clean off the residue of the reaction. If the drain has cleared, then you’re good to go. If the drain is still clogged, use the plunger to clear out the drain.
