6 Brilliant Bathroom Cleaning Hacks You Need to Know

Cleaning the bathroom is not exactly an activity most of us look forward to. However, in order to maintain your bathroom as the self-care sanctuary you deserve, regular deep cleanings are a must.

Clean your shower head with white vinegar and a plastic bag

Your showerhead can get pretty gross without even noticing it. Fill a plastic bag with vinegar and drop the shower head into the bag, ensuring that it’s completely covered by vinegar before securing the bag with a rubber band. Leave it for an hour or two, then remove the bag and turn on the water for a few minutes to clear out the vinegar. It will look almost brand new.

Use black tea to naturally clean mirrors

Bathroom mirrors attract splatters that can’t be removed without a cleaning agent. Here’s a simple chemical-free way to clean your mirror. Use a soft cloth and strong black tea. The tannic acid in the tea cuts through the grime. Dip the lint-free cloth in the brewed tea and rub it on the bathroom mirror in circles.

Combine lemon and baking soda to combat any grimy spots

Combine baking soda, water, and lemon to clean your bathroom floors, counters, and even those dirty crevices behind the toilet. You can add essential oils to make the spray smells fresh and clean.

Apply baby oil to clean metal faucets

Even if you don’t have a newborn around, baby oil can come in handy around the house. Just use warm water and a cloth to wipe down metal surfaces like faucets and other hardware. Then add a drop of baby oil and rub it all over the metal for shine.

Clean your bathtub the natural way with grapefruit and salt

Using chemicals isn’t really necessary for cleaning your bathtub. You can also leave it smelling fresh. Just cut a grapefruit in half, generously sprinkle it with salt. Use it to scrub the dirty surfaces in your bathtub. When you’re done, just rinse away the juice and pulp.

Sanitize your shower curtains with vinegar in the washing machine.

Most of the time, it’s easy to forget about your shower curtain. Whether plastic or linen, through time, they accumulate dirt and mold from your tub. Have them sanitized every week. Pop them into the washing machine with warm water combined with distilled white vinegar to remove the mold and dirt.
