There’s nothing worse than a messy bathroom. Still, having a sparkling bathroom is easier said than done. Besides the fact that extensive scrubbing can be pretty exhausting, most cleaning agents leave residues that aren’t exactly harmless.
That’s why a lot of home and business owners in Clarkstown, NY use professional janitorial services. In the following article, we’ll show you exactly how the pros go about cleaning bathrooms. Let’s learn the ropes!
What are the steps to clean a bathroom?
If you want to achieve the best possible effect when tidying up your bathroom, you need to follow the steps in a particular order. Here are some useful tips:
1. Vacuum and mop the floor
Although bathroom tiles may not seem dirty, there is in fact a lot of grime that you should remove. Similar to cleaning up the living room, you should start with vacuuming. Since the floor can be slightly wet, it’s best to use a wet/dry vacuum cleaner.
If you want to free your bathroom from germs, obtain a HEPA filter. It removes pollen, dirt, dust, moisture, bacteria and viruses, so you won’t need to use invasive chemicals to kill the germs. Mop the floor and let it dry for half an hour.
2. Remove calcium deposits and mold
Calcium tends to build up on tiles, shower heads, and faucets. A great natural remedy for calcium removal is a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Combine ⅔ of baking soda with ⅓ of vinegar to make a paste. Rub the paste onto all the surfaces covered with calcium deposits, leave it for 10 minutes and wipe it away with a microfiber cloth.
When it comes to mold removal, you can apply the same agent that you use for garage cleaning. Mix baking soda with water and spray it on the surfaces infested with mold. Let the solution kick in for 5 minutes and wipe the surface with a wet, clean cloth.
3. Scrub the bathtub, shower, sink and toilet
Apply the cleaner to shower, bathtub, and toilet, leave it for 10 minutes and scrub. You can use an all-purpose cleaning agent for regular maintenance or an acid-based cleaner if you have severe buildup on these surfaces. Make sure to apply a sanitizer as these surfaces are covered with bacteria. You can remove the buildup from the sink with a scrubby sponge.
4. Tackle other surfaces
As with cleaning up your home office, you need to do some dusting and sweeping first. After you have dusted and wiped all the shelving and cupboards, proceed with the mirror. If you want to avoid leaving streaks on glass surfaces, use a microfiber cloth as it doesn’t leave any fibers. Make zig-zag movements and wipe from side to side and from top to bottom.
Apply some shaving cream on the mirror after wiping to prevent fogging up from future use of shower. Wipe down towel racks, countertops, baseboards, doors, blinds and window sills. Take off the curtains, wash them and put on the clean ones.
