Bathroom Cleaning Products for the Modern Homemaker

One of the most important tasks in your house cleaning routine is cleaning your bathroom. Ideally scheduled into your routine cleaning, bathroom maintenance should be done once a week in order to keep it sanitary and fresh. Here are some bathroom cleaning tips that will help keep your bathroom disinfected and clean.

General bathroom cleaning tips

Before you embark on the job of cleaning your bathroom, remind yourself of some basics. One method is to clean the filthiest area last. Start with the areas that need less work. This will lessen the possibility of contamination among the different areas of your bathroom. When it can be arranged, cleaning bathrooms after a steamy shower or bath is ideal. This is because the steam tends to loosen the dirt, making it easier for you to wipe it away. Also, if you have any glass doors or mirrors in your bathroom, it would be very handy for you to keep a squeegee within reach. This will allow you to prevent staining these surfaces by wiping them immediately after they get wet. It is also a good idea for you have handy bathroom wipes (Fullsan Disinfecting Wipes) available in your bathroom supply cabinet for emergency bathroom cleaning. Make sure that these wipes not only smell good, but are also capable of removing most of the germs and bacteria in your bathroom.

Mildew Removal and Prevention

Mildew is a problem in most bathrooms. If you find little spots of mildew stain on your bathroom ceiling, walls or doors, applying a water repellant sealer on these areas after thoroughly removing the mildew will help seal out the water and prevent the mildew from growing any further. Applying the car wax every six months should be enough to keep the water from soaking into your ceiling, etc. For added mildew prevention, you can apply an industrial strength germicidal cleaner (Stanley Will Do Mildew Stain Remover Concentrate) with active ingredients that help with mildew and mold removal. Since it doesn’t have the same slippery finish as car wax, you can use the germicidal industrial cleaning product safely on your floors.

Keeping your tub and shower clean

When you clean the shower area of your bathroom, you can use an all-purpose cleaner (Stanley Germtrol II) to get the job done. It would be better for you to use a cleaner (such as (Stanley Grime Guard Bathroom Cleaner) that can protect your bathroom from grime, as well as easily dissolve excess soap and hard water stains. Spread your cleaner on the floor of the shower area, as well as the shower curtains, in order to prevent any build-up of dirt and germs. Leave the cleaner on for 10 minutes before you scrub it off. Do this chore weekly.

If your bathtub has developed a nasty looking ring around it, use the same type of all-purpose cleaner (Stanley Grime Guard Bathroom Cleaner) to get rid of it. Apply the cleaner around your bathtub ring. You can use a bathtub swab (Fuller Brush Bathtub Swab) to apply the cleaner. This should remove the bathtub ring completely.

Maintaining a clean toilet

Your toilet bowl needs thorough, regular cleaning. Bathroom cleanser and a toilet bowl brush (Stanley Bowl Swab) will often do the trick, but when hard water stains or unusual stains have built up, try using an industrial strength cleaner (Stanley Lime Calcium Water Scale Remover). Apply the toilet bowl cleaner and let it set for five minutes before you scrub it off with the toilet bowl brush.

Your Bathroom Fixtures Can Sparkle

For chrome bathroom fixtures, try polishing them with a peroxide-based cleaner. Using this type of cleaner will restore their original shine and also remove any unwanted scratches that can become the foothold of future buildup. Keep in mind that if you have any brass or gold-plated fixtures, using powdered cleansers on them may cause corrosion. You can also use metal polish.

A good bathroom cleaning routine involves not only the proper cleaning tools, but also using these tools properly. Your bathroom supply cabinet should be stocked with bathroom cleaning products that can help you with your toughest cleaning problems, as well as meet your personal standards in terms of scent and environmental friendliness. That way, your bathroom will literally seem like a “throne room”.
