11 Bathroom Cleaning Hacks To Simplify Your Life
As we all know, cleaning your bathroom is not always the most pleasant of household chores. If you leave it unattended for more than a week, you can start to find some disgusting things.
Now, the question is how you can clean your bathroom correctly and ensure that it is sanitized and ready to use?
Luckily, we have come up with our top bathroom cleaning hacks to make your life easier.
#1: Don't miss out on the little things
When we say little things, we mean everything that is in your bathroom that collects dust and dirt quickly, specifically your exhaust fan.
If you are one of those people who have an exhaust fan in your bathroom, you know that collects dirt very quickly. To make things worse, cleaning it can be almost impossible because it can become so hard to fit your hands into the vent just to clean it properly.
But there is a way that you can clean it, and that's by grabbing a can of air. Yes, you heard it right a CAN of air. These are the kind of air cans that you use to clean keyboards.
Use the tip of the spray and starting spraying your vent with it, you will notice that the dust will just fly off. Plus, this method is perfect for reaching other cracks and small areas that are hard to reach.
#2 Clean your drains properly
Have you ever noticed that when you take a shower not all the water goes down? It's probably because there's too much hair and other things clogging your drain.
You can solve this problem by dropping two tablets of Alka-Seltzers down your drain, then pour a cup of white vinegar on top of it. Before you wash it down, make sure that you let it sit for at least 10 minutes and then flush it down with boiling water right after.
Don't worry, this bathroom cleaning hack is completely safe and does not include any harsh chemicals, plus it's all-natural. No need to spend too much money on expensive cleaning detergents.
#3 How to clean grout
Cleaning grout can consume a lot of your time. It can also be one of the grossest parts of cleaning that you will have to endure, but as mentioned it can be worth all the hard work.
Using a Clorox bleach pen, wipe along your walls that are filled with grout. Let the bleach sit for at least five to ten minutes. After this,clean it with a damp cleaning towel.
Using Clorox will help make your bathroom look brighter and get rid of all the yucky grout. As a bonus, if you do not have a Clorox bleach pen you can also use a magic eraser sponge.
Make sure that you get it wet first, then with some elbow grease work along the lines of grout. This will get rid of any build up.
#4 Miracle shower cleaners
This is one cleaning product that you should have at all times. It works by breaking down any scum or stains in your shower or bathtub. Even better if it's effortless to use.

This solution works well if you have shower scum that is very hard o get rid of. Just make sure that you mix in the soap first before putting in the vinegar; otherwise, it won't work.
