Use baking soda to give your bathroom an overhaul. Baking soda can be used to clean your sink and shower, and it can be used to shine your faucets and clean down the bathroom walls.
Also, baking soda can be used to clean mirrors and shower doors. Simply add it to the water you’re using to clean or apply it directly to the surface and wash it clean.
8. Clean the Vanity Area
When we have areas in the bathroom that we consistently use every day, it may cause the entire room to look dirty. If you take a small amount of time to clean up the vanity area, it will make all the difference.
Wipe down the sink, faucets, and countertops with your favorite cleaning solution. Simply scrub or wipe clean and with a damp cloth, wipe down all the loose dust on cabinets, shelves, and decor.
9. Clean the Toilet
Cleaning the toilet often can give your bathroom the lift you require. If there is no hard build-up, it will be easy to clean and freshen with an all-purpose cleaner.
However, if there is a build-up, you will need a more aggressive and specific cleaner. One such cleaner and be a solution of hot vinegar and baking soda, left to soak, will lift all the build-up.
This will give you a fresher bathroom over-all. It will also help you to be deep clean a lot quicker as there will be much less to do.
10. Mop the Floor
Dip your mop into the bucket of your choice of floor cleaner, wring out the excess and swivel over the bathroom floor. Focus for a moment on any stubborn dirt marks and get your tiles back to their original glory.
Traditional mopping will lead you to a process of wipe with cleaner, wipe with fresh water then allow to dry. Once it’s dry, you can replace your rugs. This is a quick way to clean the bathroom as you will skip the sweeping and focus on lifting all the dirt at once.
11. The Baking Soda and Vacuum Trick
Baking soda is naturally absorbent, and this means that it can absorb odors while you do other things. Sprinkle baking soda on the rugs and linen in your bathroom liberally.
Allow it to sit, and it will absorb all your bathroom odors quickly. Allow 30 minutes to an hour to lapse and go in with a vacuum.
Vacuum the rugs and linen that you previously sprinkled to leave them fresh and clean. Also, leave your bathroom fresh and smelling clean.
12. Homemade All-Purpose Cleaner
Usually, when cleaning, we dust, clean, and disinfect, then leave fragrances through an aerosol or sitting freshener. These are separate steps that can be time-consuming. A quicker way would be to make an all-purpose cleaner that will do everything above in 1 step.
This recipe includes 1 cup of vinegar, which removes stains and odors, 1/2 cup of baking soda which deodorizes, and one teaspoon of anti-microbial essential oils such as lavender and lemon which adds pleasing scents the way an aerosol would. Use this to surface clean and even clean mirrors in your bathroom.
13. Simple Soft Scrub
Industrial soft scrubs can contain potent and harmful chemical ingredients. Homemade soft scrub can do the job and be less harmful to those in the home.
Simply get the surface wet and apply baking soda until all the areas you want to get are covered. Then spray vinegar evenly over the surface.
The foaming action is and an indication that the vinegar and baking soda are working together to dissolve mineral deposits and soap scum. Once it stops foaming, rinse clean, and all the scum will go with it.
14. Natural Toilet Bowl Cleaner
Many toilet cleaners are also harmful to the home environment as they threaten to expose pets and children to toxic chemicals in the toilet water.
A quick and harmless way to clean the toilet is by using a natural toilet cleaner with a mixture of Castile soap and baking soda. Pour in 1/3 cup of liquid Castile soap, 2 cups of water and two tablespoons of baking soda into a spray bottle.
Allow the foaming to subside and add a few drops of tea tree oil. Shake well and apply this to the toilet bowl. Let the cleaner sit for a few minutes then scrub with your toilet brush.
