Hate cleaning? You’re not alone. However, with this quick process it won’t feel like such a burden and you’ll be left with a beautiful bathroom once again. All you need to wipe away dirty spots on your glass shower doors is a bit of vinegar, some water water and a microfiber cloth.

Simply mix 1 cup of warm water with 1 cup of vinegar in a spray bottle and spray a liberal amount on the doors. Let it sit for 30 seconds to a minute and then wipe away with a microfiber cloth. Pro Tip: mix a bit of fresh lemon juice into the bottle to create a more pleasant scent.

If your doors are really soiled, you may want to give baking soda a shot. Mix a few teaspoons with warm water and apply directly to the glass. Let it sit for a few minutes and then wipe away. Rinse with clean warm water when you are finished.

Are Your Bathroom Cleaning Supplies Clean?

Trying to clean your bathroom with dirty cleaning supplies just doesn’t make sense, right? Well, then why aren’t you taking the time to make sure your tools are sanitized? Most of us neglect our cleaning essentials and it’s only making things worse.

Scrub Brushes

Using a scrub brush or broom to get those stubborn areas sparkling? They should be cleaned at least on a monthly basis and you should be replacing broom heads every 6 months. To clean them, fill a bucket or a sink with enough warm water to completely submerge the tools and let them soak in bleach for 20 minutes. Then take them out carefully and rinse with warm water.

Sponges

Did you know that a sponge is likely the dirtiest thing you have in your entire house? To clean a sponge, run them through a cycle in the dishwasher or microwave them if they don’t contain any metal parts. Clean your sponges at least once a week.

Mops

If you have a mop with a removable head, throw it in the wash using hot water. If the head doesn’t come off, let it soak in a bucket full of hot water.

Vacuum Cleaners

You’ve probably never thought about cleaning your vacuum, right? Well, they should be cleaned at least twice a year. Rinse off all hard attachments in soapy water and clean out hair and string that may be caught in the hose or wheels.

It only takes a few minutes, but it makes a world of difference!

• Heat It Up: believe it or not, heating up the surface you are cleaning can actually increase the effectiveness of the cleaner. We recommend filling your tub and sink with hot water before scrubbing.

• Let It Sit: if you’re in a rush and find yourself spraying your favorite cleaner in the bowl or on the walls of the shower and wiping it up right away, you’re probably unhappy with the results, right? Most cleaning solutions take time to work. We recommend spraying the surface and letting it sit for five to seven minutes before scrubbing.
