No matter how you dread the task, sooner or later there comes a time when you have to clean your bathroom. The secret is that the more often you do it, the less effort every next cleaning takes. But alas, we all face lots of external factors that determine what and when we do. So if you feel that the bathroom clean-up is long past due, arm yourself with our tips and find the cleaning to be easier than you expected. Namely, get yourself the toolkit that we recommend and save time and effort significantly.

Scrubbing tools

A good scrubber like a brush or a sponge can change a great deal in your cleaning routine. While a repurposed cloth and some lemon juice can help remove light stains, the thicker layers of buildup and germ-swarming residue definitely call for serious weapons. Go get yourself: 

  • an all-purpose brush (maybe with a long handle), 
  • a rough brush for cleaning grout, and 
  • sponges (softer and rougher types). 

These can be used with ultimate success for cleaning a bathtub and a sink, plus walls, shower doors, and other surfaces.

A toilet bowl requires a more calculated approach since the cleaning tool will contact the dirtiest place possible. 

  • Scrubbers with replaceable sponges are a solution for this case (you use it once and throw it away without even touching it). But be sure to buy something that has a lower impact on the environment when disposed of.

Spinning (electric) tools

When good ol’ hand power is not enough to get rid of stubborn dirt and calk, it’s time to call in the special operation troops, that is, electric scrubbers. The first scrubber is probably living in your home toolkit. We mean, a standard drill. You have probably seen videos showing what other household tasks you can accomplish with it along drilling holes. Now it’s time to use it in the bathroom.

  • Buy a set of attachable brush heads for your drill. They vary in size and degree of bristle softness. When facing the nasty old stain, cover it with a detergent, let it sit, and then set the brush in motion. Choose the softer ones for delicate surfaces and rougher ones for grout or concrete surfaces.
  • Buy a powered spin scrubber with a telescopic handle. It will serve you well on all surfaces, from the ceiling to the floor. Just be sure to keep brushes you use in different areas separated, or clean them well before every use. And no, please do not use a brush for the toilet, unless you can buy spare brushes to replace the germ-filled ones.

Spraying tools

Tools are cool but they can do little without a good detergent. Cleaners for the shower, bathtub, think, and mold removers in the form of sprays (and occasionally, gels) will help you tackle the dirt faster and remove it totally, with little scrubbing and fretting. Just remember to put gloves on before your hands come into contact with this cleaning stuff.

  • Shower sprays can be plant-based or synthetically manufactured, today they all are made to high safety and eco-friendliness standards. Spray the glass doors, walls, and the floor/tub, leave for around 5 minutes (see instructions) and rinse away with a simple or powered scrubber. Voila. 
  • A bathtub and a sink can be the hardest place to clean, so pick your cleaning agent carefully. You may need some more aggressive detergent, but try to pick the one that does not contain bleach. Spray, leave, scrub, rinse. Repeat, if necessary.
  • Mold can be hard to eliminate, but it should be removed since it’s an allergen and a potential cause of diseases. Pick the spray or a gel, wear a mask before application (it can have a harsh smell and vapors), spray/coat the areas in need of cleaning, and let it sit. Don’t stay in the same room, go and do something elsewhere (or relax a bit). Then return to the bathroom and rinse everything thoroughly. 

All in all, there are the basic tools necessary for proper cleaning and maintaining your bathroom fresh and nice. But if you lack inspiration or time to accomplish this undertaking, let us at https://mastermaid.ca/  know and we will hurry to your rescue, with all necessary tools at hand.
