Cleaning the bathroom is something that nobody likes to do. Unfortunately it needs to be done, not only to make it look better, but to eliminate germs that can cause illness. Below you will find a few tips to make cleaning your bathroom more effective and easy
BATHTUB
Bathtubs can be awkward to clean, because there are many hard to reach places. Here are a few things that may help;
*Use a cleaner that will foam or bubble. This allows you to “soak” your tub or shower, even if it’s a vertical wall.
*Shop around for a tub scrubber that fits your needs, Whether it is a long handled one or an extra firm one, pick a scrubber that will be easiest for your to use.
MIRRORS
Mirrors can be very tricky because if you don’t have the right tools, they can look worse than before you started. Make sure you use glass cleaner (usually blue) or vinegar, and use paper towels or newspaper to wipe them (not cloth as it will leave residue)
