5 Bathroom Cleaning Areas You’re Forgetting to Clean
Bathrooms are one of the most unsanitary areas of your home. They are known to become breeding grounds for germs and bacteria, necessitating extra attention and care to maintain bathroom safety and cleanliness.
A frequent bathroom cleaning routine is more than just a neat and fresh-smelling bathroom; it helps keep you and your family healthy. But despite your diligence, certain areas in the bathroom often escape our cleaning routines.
This article discusses the top 5 bathroom cleaning areas people often forget to clean, preventing them from becoming a wellness oasis.
1. Showerheads
Even if you are cleaning the shower base, you are most likely missing cleaning the showerhead. Mineral deposits from hard water can accumulate over time, affecting the water pressure and leading to residue buildup.
To tackle this, periodically soak the showerhead in a Harpic Bathroom Cleaner Citrus and water solution. Submerge the showerhead for at least 30 minutes, scrub away remaining deposits with a soft-bristled brush, and reinstall it.
2. Shower curtains and liners
Shower curtains and curtain liners, when neglected, build up soap scum and mildew over time, leading to a bathroom filled with musty smells.
Depending on the kind you have, you can machine wash the shower curtains with the rest of the laundry, spot-clean the curtain liners, or replace them entirely regularly.
3. Grout lines
Cleaning grout lines isn’t a priority until they become visibility dirty and discolored due to soap scum, mildew, and dirt. Instead of waiting for this to happen, incorporate grout scrubbing into your bathroom cleaning routine.
Pour Harpic Bathroom Cleaner Citrus directly onto the grout lines and scrub gently with a nylon bristle scrub brush for a few minutes before rinsing with water.
4. Exhaust fan
Exhaust fans remove dust, debris, and stale, muggy, or dirty air from anywhere in the house. However, a bathroom exhaust fan must also deal with the pressure of added humidity and remove unwanted odors, moisture, smoke, and other pollutants in the air.
Since they are usually mounted on the ceiling or high on the wall, they are forgotten about during bathroom cleaning. Use a vacuum cleaner with a hose attachment to remove any lingering dust and debris from the vent cover, then wash it in a tub filled with Harpic Bathroom Cleaner Citrus and water solution.
5. Behind the toilet
Because the area behind the toilet is difficult to reach, many people think it will be difficult for the germs and bacteria to accumulate there. However, that is not the case!
Add 1.5 capfuls of Harpic Bathroom Cleaner Citrus to a half bucket of water(4 cups) and use this solution to clean the floor and walls behind the toilet. Apply the solution to the surfaces, let it sit for at least 5 minutes, and rinse with water.
