Cleaning Tips for a Fresh and Sparkling Bathroom

Your bathroom is a busy spot in your home! From showers to brushing your teeth and washing your face, it’s the room we use most often to keep ourselves fresh and clean. Therefore, it’s important to ensure your bathroom stays the same. Today, let’s chat about some daily and weekly cleaning tips to help ensure your bathroom stays sparkling from top to bottom. 

Daily Cleaning Tasks

Wipe faucets and sinks

Keeping this area of the bathroom tidy is essential. With frequent water splashes from handwashing and leftover toothpaste after brushing, daily wiping is crucial. This practice not only maintains a clean and attractive appearance but also helps to minimize the presence of germs. 

Make your mirrors shine

Chances are your bathroom mirrors get dirty quickly! A quick clean makes sure you can see your reflection clearly and keeps your bathroom looking fresh. Not only does a sparkling mirror enhance the overall aesthetic of your space, but it also creates a welcoming atmosphere for you and your guests. Regularly cleaning your mirrors can prevent the buildup of soap scum, water spots, and fingerprints. 

Keep showers dry

After showering, dry the walls with a clean towel. This helps wipe away soap scum and buildup, while also helping avoid any moisture issues. The dryer your bathroom, the better! If you have a shower curtain, be sure to close it after use, so it can dry quicker. 

Weekly Cleaning Tasks 

Toss towels and bathmats in the laundry 

Be sure to wash all your towels (bath and hand) as well as your bathmats frequently to ensure they stay fresh. A good idea is to wash them on the same day each week to create a routine that works for you. Regular washing can prevent bacteria buildup and keep your linens soft and fluffy.

Tackle the Toilet 

Scrub your toilets thoroughly! Use a disinfectant to eliminate stains and keep them smelling fresh. Remember to clean the area around the base of the toilet too! This sometimes forgotten spot can harbour dirt and bacteria, so make sure it's part of your cleaning routine. 

Clean the shower or tub 

After cleaning your toilet, it’s time to focus your attention to the shower and/or tub. Ensure you thoroughly clean and disinfect the entire area. Removing hair and debris is essential to prevent clogs from worsening. Using a drain trap can make this task even easier! 

Wipe doorknobs and light switches 

These areas are used a lot! To help avoid germs and bacteria, wipe and disinfect your doorknobs and light switches. Clean all handles or knobs on cabinets in the bathroom. Don’t forget to give your light fixtures, and ventilation fan a good clean too. 

Wash the floors

Throughout the week, you might find yourself cleaning up water splashes or spills. Be sure to give your bathroom floors a thorough cleaning at least once a week. Start by vacuuming or sweeping, then mop or wipe the area with a cloth. Remember to clean your baseboards while you’re at it. 

It’s a good idea to check your bathroom regularly for any leaks, drips, or unwanted water. Look around your shower or tub, toilet and under your sink while you are cleaning. If you happen to notice something out of the ordinary, be sure to give the Action Plumbing team a call. The quicker you deal with plumbing issues, the better. 

We hope these tips help keep your bathroom sparking and clean, ensuring an inviting space for everyone!
