How Frequently Should You Tackle Bathroom Cleaning? The general advice for a bathroom cleaning routine is a minimum of once a week. However, the frequency might fluctuate based on bathroom use and the presence of children. Bathrooms, being hotspots for bacteria like E. Coli, demand regular attention.

To keep bacteria under control:

  • Disinfect your toilet and sink at least twice a week.

  • Give your bathtub a scrub at least twice a month.

  • Consider a daily cleaning routine for households with children.

Daily Toilet Maintenance: A Must? Absolutely! Especially for households with kids, daily toilet cleaning is optimal. If daily cleaning becomes a logistical challenge, strive for at least once a week. Employing a robust toilet cleaner, such as Domestos Thick Bleach, can make a notable difference. A useful toilet cleaning hack involves using the curved head of the Domestos bottle to target tenacious germs under the rim.

Clever Bathroom Cleaning Hacks:

  1. Get a Head Start:

    • Apply toilet cleaner around the rim and let it sit while you tackle other tasks.

    • Return to scrub with a stiff-bristled brush, flush, and neutralize odors with bicarbonate of soda.

  2. Chill Out with Bleach:

    • When using bleach, remember to mix it with cold water. Avoid warm water, as it can deactivate the bleach.

    • Maintain good ventilation while using chemical cleaners.

  3. Revive Radiators Promptly:

    • Dust radiators with a damp dusting mitt or cloth, using a Microfibre Radiator Brush for inside dust.

    • Vacuum or use a dustpan to clear debris and finish with a multi-purpose spray.

  4. Upkeep for Bathroom Fans:

    • Clean the fan filter with soap and water on a damp cloth, avoiding wetting internal fittings.

    • Soak the removable grill in soapy water for a thorough clean.

  5. Combat Smelly Bins:

    • Freshen empty bins with Jeyes Freshbin powder or bicarbonate of soda, followed by disinfectant.

    • For deeper cleaning, hose down the bin in the shower after emptying.

  6. Quick Bath Brightening:

    • Rinse the bath immediately after use to prevent dried-on bubble bath and oils.

    • For stubborn grime, spray with bathroom cleaner, let it sit for 15 minutes, then wipe and rinse.

    • For deeply soiled tubs, add biological washing powder to warm water and soak overnight.

  7. Effortless Floor Maintenance:

    • Use a hand-held vac or antibacterial wipe every other day to keep dust away.

    • Choose liquid cleaners or an e-cloth mop to avoid foamy floor cleaner residue.

  8. Prevent Plughole Disasters:

    • Maintain drains with soda crystals and boiling water.

    • Perform weekly bottlebrushing of plugholes.

    • Consider Buster Bathroom Plughole Unblocker for blocked drains.

  9. Streak-Free Mirrors:

    • Wipe splatters from mirrors with rubbing alcohol, followed by glass cleaner or water on a microfibre cloth.

    • For an eco-friendly option, try a solution of distilled white vinegar and water.

  10. Anti-Steam Mirror Trick:

  • Buff mirrors with a drop of washing up liquid to prevent steaming for around two weeks.

    Limescale-Free Taps:

  • Soak taps in a solution of white vinegar and water to remove limescale.

  • Never use abrasive cleaners on taps.

  • For an alternative, try the same process with lemon juice.

    Tough on Limescale Build-Up:

  • Use whitening toothpaste and an old toothbrush to clean calcified limescale from taps.

  • For chrome taps, saturate a cloth with white vinegar and leave it overnight.

    Unclog the Showerhead:

  • Fasten a plastic bag filled with a vinegar-water solution over the showerhead to remove limescale.

  • Use a needle to unclog spray holes if needed.

    Shower Sparkle in Minutes:

  • Spritz shower walls with water and vinegar, then use a squeegee for tiles and glass screens.

  • Clean glass screens with a vinegary solution and add dishwasher rinse aid for extra shine.

    Prioritize Ventilation:

  • Switch on the extractor fan or open the bathroom window during showers to prevent mold.

  • Address mold-stained shower curtains with diluted bleach and discolored grout with a bleach-water solution.

    Regular Spot-Checks:

  • Keep a microfibre cloth in the bathroom for quick stain removal before they dry and become harder to clean.

    Maximize Storage Space:

  • Invest in small bathroom storage to lift baskets or boxes for easy cleaning underneath.

    Complete the Cycle:

  • Clean the toilet brush container with hot, soapy water and bleach regularly.

  • Disinfect the caddy and brush, returning them to the container.
