A great way to clean your bathroom

Bathroom maintenance is something important to keep in mind, but it may feel overwhelming at times. It may be annoying enough to deal with the more stubborn stains and to keep it looking spotless, but there are many cleaning products on the market, so it may feel hard to find the one that fits your needs. You would be surprised that simple vinegar may be an effective tool in your fight against moulds, stains and other issues. 

Effective Bathroom Cleaning Tips

What Makes Vinegar Good for Cleaning?

Vinegar makes for a great household cleaner since it contains acetic acid, something seen in store-bought household cleaners. Vinegar is cheaper and more eco-friendly, however. Vinegar is also great at cleaning because the acidity dissolves grease, grime and mould, killing bacteria in the process as well. The best type of vinegar used for cleaning is white distilled vinegar, as it doesn’t have any colour. The darker kind may leave stains on your furniture, so avoid it. White distilled vinegar has about 5% acidity, similar to store-bought household cleaners, making it the best possible cheaper alternative, something you can use in the kitchen in many ways. If you don’t like the acidic smell, there are alternatives. You can also use diluted apple cider vinegar, which has a less sharp smell, but it may leave stains behind. White wine vinegar may also get the job done, best used when heated.

What Can You Mix with Vinegar for Cleaning?

Whenever you’re cleaning with vinegar, you can mix it together with different substances to clean different objects. Most of the time, a simple mixture of 50/50 water and vinegar will be enough, but not always. Showerheads may be cleaned with white vinegar and baking soda, the same goes for baths and toilets. You can water it down to clean tiles too. You can clean the shower glass with an equal mix of water and vinegar. The faucets require a bit of lemon juice in the vinegar or rubbing alcohol to keep things sparkling and free of streaks.

Cleaning Mould with Vinegar

Bathroom mould is a common enough occurrence, something caused by the lack of ventilation and the moisture inside. This is something that happens around the shower and bath, but you can easily clean it using vinegar. Just use a spray bottle alongside distilled white vinegar and spray that directly onto the mould. Let it sit like that for about 15 minutes, then wipe it off with a soft, damp cloth. For any stubborn stains, you should make a paste of distilled vinegar and baking soda and apply it to the area where the mould is present. You can use a toothbrush to scrub away anything clinging to the surface, then wipe again. Rinse the mould-free area to get rid of any paste and bits left behind. The toothbrush is the best tool to use for hard to reach areas, making sure you will rid your bathroom of every bit of mould in the process.

Cleaning Your Tiles With Vinegar

Bathroom tiles may become rapidly dirty, but they are much easier to clean compared to other areas. You can do that even when you’re lacking any commercial cleaning products in the house. Simply using vinegar and water is a great way to make it happen. Just mix about 125ml of white vinegar and a litre of warm water into a bowl. Once that’s ready, use a soft cloth with the mixture and scrub your tiles. If the water cools down, then you should warm it back up for optimal results. When you’re done, rinse the tiles with plenty of water.   Copyright @ First Choice Cleaning Company
