The Bathroom is the most frequently used room in a house and it’s tough to stay ahead on keeping it clean and sanitary. Here are a few tricks from That’s Clean Maids to keep your washroom fresh and clean.
Stop Moisture
Keep showers dry to stave off mildew and mold by hanging a squeegee in the shower head for the family to use after they bathe. Also while showering; quickly zap moisture by opening the window or turning on the exhaust fan. Then remember to pull the shower curtain so it stretches across the whole tub afterward.
Use Water Repellent
Try using a water repellent like RainX on shower doors and walls to stop soap scum, water, and minerals from getting the upper hand.
Disinfect
For a nontoxic way to disinfect the surfaces, fill a spray bottle with a half and half solution of white vine agar and water. Vinegar has the ability to remove many stains and odors.
Clean the Sink
Baking Soda can remove stains, soap scum, toothpaste and sticky hair! Rinse the sink, then pour enough baking soda in the sink to make a thick paste. Next using a soft cloth or sponge scrub a little to clean the sink. Afterwards, run the water for a shiny sink. This is safe for steel and porcelain sinks.
Clean the Toilet

Clean the Drains
