Cleaning Your Bathroom and Tile


Cleaning the bathroom can seem like a chore to a lot of people, but in reality it isn't very hard, if you regularly keep it up. If you are a clean freak like I am, all you have to do is sweep and mop the floor, but if you put it off cleaning tile can get a little harder.

In order for your bathroom to be squeaky clean, you have to take the time to get all of the mildew and stains that might have permeated your tile and grout over time. You should first wash with bathroom cleanser. Spray the walls and floor with the solution, and scrub the tile with a brush to get some of the grim off.

To get rid of mildew use off the shelf mold and mildew remover or a mixture of 1/2 cup baking soda, 1 cup white distilled vinegar, and 1 cup ammonia to a gallon of warm water. Apply it to the tile, let it sit for an hour, and rinse off.

To eliminate dirt and mold on grout apply make a batch of oxygen bleach crystals and warm water. Pour it on the floor and spray on the walls and leave over night to let it work its magic. Clean it up in the morning, and you should have pristine floors. If some patches are still dirty take a tooth brush and scrub them clean.

If at all possible let your clean bathroom air dry with an open window, or dry with an exhaust fan since it will cut down on the moisture in the room and make it smell better and stay cleaner longer.

Use a disinfectant on the surfaces in your bathroom to ensure that you get an all over clean. It's important to keep up your bathroom, so you won't have to do a deep clean as much.
