When it comes to cleaning your home, the bathroom is often one of the least enjoyable rooms to clean. Not only because you will be cleaning toilets, but because the bathroom fixtures are sometimes hard to clean and get spot-free. Here are some tips for cleaning the bathroom fixtures effectively.

Use Natural Products for the Bathtub

You should use natural cleaning products as much as possible for your bathroom fixtures, but especially for the bathtub. Not only can commercial products cause greasiness that makes the surface slippery and dangerous to stand on while showering, but it can also cause pitting. This is when the surface starts to feel rough to the touch. Some good natural cleaning products include baking soda and vinegar. You can use the baking soda with water to clean the tub or make a paste out of baking soda and vinegar for better scrubbing action in the bathtub.

Clean the Sink More Often

One of the best tips for keeping your bathroom sink clean is to do it more often. You should clean it every few days if you can, as there is a lot of soap scum, toothpaste build-up, and deposits that end up on the sink and the faucet. These can become harder to clean if you leave them for too long. When cleaning the bathroom sink, you can either use an all-purpose cleaner, or use dishwashing liquid combined with warm water. Fill a large bowl or bucket with warm water and add some dishwashing liquid to it. Use a sponge to gently scrub inside the sink, around the rim, and on the faucet. Rinse it well with warm water and it should remove all of the soap scum and water droplets.

Use Paper Towels in a Porcelain Sink

If your bathroom sink is made of porcelain, which many are, avoid using cleaning products with bleach. If your dishwashing liquid is cleaning it, but not causing it to shine as much as you like, you can use paper towels moistened with bleach instead. This lets you get them as white as possible without dousing the actual sink with the bleach and damaging it. Put some paper towels inside the sink first, then put the bleach on top of the towels until they are soaked through. Let these sit for several minutes and discard them. Now rinse the sink and clean it as you normally would and it will sparkle.

Wash Faucet With Vinegar

It can also be difficult getting lime and rust off of faucets and shower heads. Vinegar will be your new best friend. Get a plastic bag and fill it with some white distilled vinegar. With the bag open, wrap it around the faucet or shower head and secure it with a rubber band, being sure the faucet is sitting in the vinegar to soak. After about an hour or so, remove the vinegar and rinse away the sediment with water. Polish it with a microfiber cloth.
