5 Bathroom Cleaning Tips

If left uncleaned for only a week or two, bathrooms can become a scary, germ-infested place. Sticking to a regular cleaning routine is essential in keeping your bathroom neat and tidy. Use these 5 tips for a sparkling bathroom the next time you clean:

To get rid of a ring in your toilet bowl...

Cut off a small piece of Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser and drop it in your toilet. Let it sit in the bowl overnight and the ring of grime will be gone by the morning.

To clean your shower head with minimal effort...

Fill a plastic sandwich bag with vinegar and tie it around your shower head with an elastic band, as shown in this picture. Allow to sit for 5-8 hours and your shower head will be as clean as the day you bought it.

To unclog a drain using products you already own...

Pour ½ cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by ½ cup of white vinegar. Allow the solution to foam up for a few minutes, then pour a cup of hot water down the drain to wash it through. In case you didn't know – vinegar and baking soda can be used to clean a lot of things around the house.

To clean the grout between your bathroom tiles...

Use Resolve carpet cleaner. Just apply it to the dirty grout and let it sit for 15 minutes before scrubbing it with a stiff brush (an old toothbrush works too).

For a streak-free mirror...

Ditch the paper towels; they not only leave behind streaks, but lint too. For a spotless mirror, wipe the Windex off with a microfiber cloth and polish the glass with a 100% cotton t-shirt or piece of crumpled up newspaper.
