Lazy ways to keep your bathroom clean 

Keep your bathroom clean with the following steps that require minimal effort and time. 

1. Wipe sink fixtures every time

The water spots that appear on the sink faucet can be warded off by following a prescriptive routine. Before using the sink to wash your hands or your face, use tissue paper, a towel, or any cloth available by your side to dry off quickly. While you are at it, check the droplets in the mirror, too. If found, wipe them off. 

2. Squeegee your shower every day

The shower system needs to be cleaned regularly, and for that, it is important to use a squeegee to swiftly wipe down the bathtub, tiles, and glass surfaces right after you take a shower. 

This simple step helps in preventing the buildup of scum and mold in your bathroom and makes them dirt-free for external use. 

You can also opt for water-blade style squeegees since they have convenient clips that hold onto your towel bar for easy access and storage.

3. Clean the showerhead

Using a baggie to clean the showerhead is one of the most time-efficient yet effective ways. Here are the instructions: 

1. Add 1.5 capfuls of Harpic Bathroom Cleaner Citrus in half a bucket of water (4 cups). 

2. Fill a plastic bag with the just-created solution. 

3. Secure it onto the showerhead using a zip tie or rubber band. 

4. Leave it in place overnight.

5. Run hot water through the shower to rinse away any residue left for proper cleaning.

4. Invest in fabric curtain liners

Dealing with soap scum on plastic shower curtains can feel like a struggle. Hence opt for machine-washable fabric liners for a fresh appearance. Swap between the two liners on rotation, and launder the dirty one in each use.

5. Extend the life of your toilet bowl

Nothing will keep a toilet bowl clean forever, but using Harpic Toilet Bowl Cleaner and Toilet Blocks can act as preventative measures to extend the life of your porcelain throne.
