How to Make the Most Out of Your Bathroom Cleaning Products

One of the most important parts of your house cleaning routine is paying attention to your bathroom, especially since you use it daily. It is ideal that when you do your routine cleaning, bathroom maintenance should be done once a week in order to keep it looking as good as new. Here are some bathroom cleaning tips that will help keep your bathroom disinfected and clean.

General bathroom cleaning tips

Before you embark on a quest to clean your bathroom, be sure that you know the basics first. It may sound like common sense, but it’s good to be reminded that you should 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. If you can, 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 ideal that 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 common problem among most bathrooms. If you find little spots of mildew stain on your bathroom ceiling, walls or doors, applying car wax (Fuller Brush Car Wash & Wax Concentrate) on these areas will help keep 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 out of the pores in your ceiling, etc. For added mildew prevention, you can apply an industrial strength germicidal cleaner (Fuller Brush Industrial Germicidal Cleaner) 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 (Fuller Brush Bath Clean) to get the job done. It would be better for you to use a cleaner (such as Fuller Brush Bath Clean) 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 weekly.

If your bathtub has developed a nasty looking ring around it, using the same type of all-purpose cleaner (Fuller Brush Bath Clean) can 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 would probably need the most amount of cleaning. Bathroom cleanser and a toilet bowl brush (Fuller Brush Long-Life Heavy-Duty Toilet Bowl Brush) will often do the trick, but when this kind of treatment no longer works, try using an industrial strength cleaner (Fuller Brush Extra Strength Bowl Cleaner). Apply the toilet bowl cleaner and let it rest for five minutes before you scrub it off with the toilet bowl brush.

Making Your Bathroom Fixtures Sparkle

If your bathroom has chrome fixtures, you can polish them by using a peroxide-based cleaner. Using this type of cleaner will restore their original shine and also remove any unwanted scratches that can become the cause 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 or baby oil to do this.

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 environment-friendliness. That way, your bathroom will literally seem like a “throne room”.
