Undergoing a bathroom renovation is a very exciting process. Seeing your vision come to life with the help of a professional is incredibly satisfying. Once everything has been completed, it’s important to know how to keep your bathroom ship shape to retain that satisfaction.
Read on to learn some tricks of the trade on how to keep your new bathroom shining.
Use The Right Products
Few things can be more harmful to your new bathroom than the wrong products. Certain cleaning solutions can strip paint, damage stainless steel, or even scratch your new surfaces.
When cleaning your bathroom, find specialised bathroom sponges. These are sold in the vast majority of supermarkets, so will be easily accessible. Bathroom sponges are specifically designed to be non-scratch, unlike steel wool sponges which do exactly the opposite.
Some natural products can surprisingly save you a lot of hassle while avoiding damage. Try white vinegar for tough limescale, which can also be combined with baking soda to clear your drains. Lemon juice will make your bathroom smell fantastic and is great for removing rust stains.
Remember that you should never mix cleaning chemicals, as this can be detrimental to your health. Keep your window open while applying and scrubbing can prevent you from inhaling dangerous fumes.
Do It Regularly
Keeping on top of your cleaning means you can keep your bathroom in its best shape. There are some things you should do more frequently than others. One example should be cleaning your toilet at least once a week. Just like a kitchen, regularly wiping down your surfaces will keep your bathroom sanitised and easier to clean later too.
When sickness strikes, remember to keep that bathroom clean. A sanitised bathroom can help prevent the spread of illness. Pay particular attention to the toilet and all other touch points, including the door handles.
Stop Mould
If you notice any signs of damage to your bathroom you should address them as soon as possible. Unsightly mould can be one problem you might face.
Mould can cause damage not only to your bathroom but to your health. Some species produce spores that can cause breathing issues, asthma attacks and even allergic reactions. Employ bleach to help remove tough mould, however, if the problem becomes more serious you should always seek professional cleaning advice.
To prevent mould from forming in the first instance, there are a few tips that can help. You can heat your bathroom to prevent any moisture build-up and therefore mould. Avoid drying wet laundry in the bathroom, as the moisture will create the perfect conditions for mould to form. Similarly, when showering, use a method of ventilation, such as opening your window. You could also have a ventilator installed with the help of a bathroom design company.
