Bathroom Cleaning and Organisation Tips

How is your bathroom looking recently? The truth is, many families find it hard to maintain bathrooms in a clean, organised and healthy condition. While cleaning and disinfection are absolutely essential, good organisation is also crucial. Here are some tips on how you can transform and fully enjoy your bathroom this summer.

Decluttering Comes First

Clutter in the bathroom is a potential health risk. The more empty bottles and unnecessary items you keep there, the more chances bacteria and mould have to inhabit the place and spread. Make sure you dispose of any product packaging that is no longer in use. It is important to have as much empty space as possible. It makes cleaning easier and sanitisation more effective.

Utilise Vertical Space

Do not put any personal hygiene products on the floor of the shower cabin or on the side of the bath. Utilise any vertical space you have in the bathroom instead. There are hundreds of options for item organisation in any big supermarket chain or home and furniture shops. Whether it is something you mount on the wall or simply hang on the shower cabin door, it will make a major positive difference.

Keep facial products and scrubs in the vanity cabinet. This will minimise the humidity that gets to these items and preserve their quality for longer.

Take 5 Minutes After Each Shower

Here’s a tip for the lazy cleaners. Bathrooms usually require a lot of scrubbing to look good. But if you take 5 minutes after each shower to quickly spray and wipe the glass and the cabin/bath, you can minimise the heavy scrubbing during a regular bathroom clean. There are limescale and hard water sprays you can use effortlessly. They are usually widely available in most supermarkets.

Weekly Cleans are Essential

The bathroom is one of those places that requires regular care. It needs cleaning at least once a week. If you let it go for longer, the workload doubles and sometimes triples. Not to mention the huge health risk you are taking for you and your family. There are thousands of germs that inhabit your bathroom every single day and consistent disinfection is more than necessary.

Less is Always More

Adopting a minimalist approach when it comes to your bathroom is always best. Don’t stack the shelves. Don’t add more towels than you need. Keep it all tidy. The less stuff you can see when you enter the bathroom, the more relaxing your experience will be while you are there. Diffusers with essential oils, a crystal or a couple of scented candles are a great addition to the decor. Just make sure you are not overdoing it.

How do you organise your bathroom? Do you prefer to have many products within your reach while showering? Or, perhaps, you enjoy that feeling of minimalistic and natural environment without too much clutter?

Spring Cleaning Tips

It may be a little early to get excited about spring, but it’s never a bad time to get on with your spring cleaning. We’ve prepared a bunch of quick and easy tips to help you in that endeavour.

Start at the Door

If you have the energy and are in the right mood, we would actually recommend working on your exterior before you start deep cleaning your home. But if you are not too bothered about it or it’s just not the time yet, we’d urge you to take care of your doormat at least. In fact, it’s always useful to have two - one outside and one inside. Use the vacuum to clean them from both sides.

Windows

Next stop are the windows. They would certainly need some refreshing after the cold rainy autumn and winter months. Make sure you are not cleaning the windows under direct sunlight. That might be a reason for streaks later.

Let’s Go In

We are now moving indoors. Start by organising common areas - the hallway, the living room, the bathroom. Take out all unnecessary items, old clothes, shoes and put the things you use in well-organised drawers, cupboards or areas.

The Kitchen

There is a lot to be done in the kitchen during your spring cleaning spree. Start by defrosting and cleaning the fridge. Move on to the oven, microwave and the inside of the cupboards. Rearrange the pantry. Once you’ve done most of the hard and time-consuming work, you can focus on lighter tasks like cleaning and disinfecting the sink, the countertops and the outside of the cupboards.

The Bathroom

We already briefly mentioned the bathroom but now we go back for a lot more thorough work. That will include removing the grout, any mould and limescale. You want to check the shower drain and make sure it isn’t blocked. Move on to cleaning and disinfecting the toilet, the sink and vanity. Bathroom deep cleaning could take anything between 2 and 4 hours!

The Bedding

Your mattress, pillows and duvet need some TLC from time to time. Spring cleaning is the perfect occasion. The pillows and duvet (in most cases) could be washed in the washing machine. However, to keep them in top shape, throw in two tennis balls. This will not allow the pillows and duvet to get squashed and disformed. When it comes to the mattress, you need to vacuum it, then spray with disinfectant and vacuum again. Another option is to run the iron on the mattress to kill any dust mites or germs.

The Appliances

The machines that help you clean need to be cleaned as well. This includes the dishwasher, the washing machine, the dryer and the vacuum cleaner. Always read the manufacturer instructions because any improper handling of those appliances may result in a permanent fault.

To Busy for All That

If your day is way too stressful already without the added pressure of deep cleaning, you don’t have to do it yourself. Clean and sanitised home is absolutely essential, though. Especially in times of a global pandemic. That’s why we are here. Our team is specifically trained and well experienced in providing deep cleaning services, following all safety rules and regulations.
