I’m sure we all have our own routines when it comes to cleaning the bathroom. I usually start with the toilet, then move to the shower, then address the sink, mirror, and floors. In fact, if I can clean all of those in one go, I’m probably feeling really productive! But beyond those weekly maintenance cleanings , there’s definitely more we should be doing. Bathrooms have the potential to become the dirtiest room in the house if left unchecked, due to the unique combination of warmth, humidity, and bacteria that congregate there. But with just a few basic cleaning supplies , it’s easy to keep your bathroom (and the things you store in there) clean and healthy. Here are 9 common bathroom items that could probably use a cleaning. 1. Bath Toys Bath toys can build up layers of soap scum and mildew if they aren’t being cleaned. A quick soak with some vinegar will take care of that! Just put your bath toys into a bucket, then fill with warm water and add 1 cup of white vinegar . Let the toys...

It’s very important to have an exhaust fan that’s vented to the outside in every bathroom in your home, and to run it whenever you shower or bathe and for 15-20 minutes afterward to remove excess moisture that can cause mold and mildew to form. An average sized bathroom vent fan that’s used one hour a day will exhaust over 2,000,000 cubic feet of air a year, or the equivalent of the air inside 1,000 homes. As air is drawn through the fan, dust builds up on the grille cover and the fan motor over time. Cleaning the cover and motor housing every six months to one year will remove most of the accumul...

Wise Bread Picks Mold is everywhere. It might even be hiding on everyday items that you didn't even think to check. With continued exposure, you can begin developing respiratory problems or allergic reactions. Where to Look for Mold Here's where mold might be lurking. Toys Recent findings of mold in children's sippy cups and teething toys have led to widespread panic among parents. However, most pediatricians agree that a small amount of mold exposure is usually okay for children, except if your baby has a mold allergy or an immune deficiency. However, your child's toys should be cleaned regularly so that they don't accumulate a significant amount of mold over time. If you notice shadowing coming from inside of the toy, or the toy smells bad , then you need to clean it to reduce the chance of you or your child getting sick from mold exposure. Children's toys, dog toys, and bath toys can become covered in mold. Mold can also grow inside of a squeaky toy or a...

When we clean our homes, we typically focus on the same major areas – the toilet seat, kitchen counter and bin under the sink, natch – but completely overlook others. These neglected nooks are hot spots for sickness-causing bacteria – and yet you may not even realise it. Prepare to be grossed out – #sorrynotsorry – before making good with these quick clean tips . 1. Pillows and quilts You clean your bed covers and cases, but how about the pillows and quilts? They’re breeding grounds for bacteria, fungal spores, bed bugs and dust mites, which produce droppings that can cause itchy eyes and asthma. Aim to clean them every two to three months at a temperature setting of at least 60 degrees. Then leave them to dry in sunlight to kill microorganisms.   2. Toothbrushes Every time you flush the toilet, an aerial spray of tiny water droplets tainted with icky faecal bacteria is released. These toilet germs can travel up to six feet, surviving for two hours, settling on bathroom surfaces such...

What could be more refreshing than a quick shower after a long run, or a warm shower on a really cold night? But you are not the only living thing that likes your shower - germs do too. The warm, moist and dark conditions in the shower make it a germ danger zone . The germs that live in clogged drains may be washed up to the surface when the shower is used and disease might spread. Unclean taps might also spread cold and flu bacteria. The shower curtain can also be germ-ridden, especially since it stays moist when it's not opened and aired. Apart from the bacteria that may lurk in the drainpipes and on the taps of showers, several disease-causing fungi and viruses can be present on shower floors. Athlete's foot (Tenis pedis) and Plantar's warts are frequently spread in this way. And although mildew isn't necessarily a health hazard, moulds may actually ruin your shower curtains. Cleaning the shower This task should not take long, but should be done regularly. I...

Whether it’s a tiny powder room or a luxury master bath , any bathroom becomes more attractive when it’s clean and organized. And the good news is, there are some simple, practical principles that can help you make the most of any bathroom’s space. Consider these tips for organizing your bathroom, no matter its size. 1. Declutter To truly organize your bathroom, start by cutting down the stuff you have to store. Set aside time to go through everything—from hair products to towels to shower caddies—and separate everything into piles of what you will keep, trash, and give away. Products that are old or unusable — or even products that you just don’t like — should go into the trash bin. Products that are unopened but that you won’t use, or products that are perfectly functional, but outdated, can be donated. Items that serve no purpose, such as that shower caddy you used in college, can be donated or trashed as well. This step takes a bit of time, but when you’re done, you’ll have minimi...

Glass cooktops are very popular. When you first get them, they look sleek, shiny and very nice. But over time, they can lose their shine and get a buildup of burned food on them that is hard to clean off. Here are some super tips and tricks to help you get that sleek shine again. The smooth, sleek look can be ruined if you use harsh, abrasive cleaners, so don't chance it. Make sure you cooktop is turned off and cool. Lay paper towels over the surface, and then wet them with warm water and dishwashing soap. Leave them to sit for an hour or so to loosen up things. Then remove the paper towels and wipe off what you can. There are some cleaners made just for glass cooktops available at your grocery store or hardware store, and most work pretty well, but not that much better than warm water and soap. You'll need to get a razor- type paint scraper and use it, carefully, to remove the cooked-on residue. Wipe it off periodically with a plastic s...

There comes a time when it makes more sense to simply replace an item in your home than waste valuable energy cleaning it again. We don't apply this theory generously, and it usually pertains to small things around the house that are easy and inexpensive to replace. When it comes to big ticket items like appliances, furniture or antiques, we strongly recommend doing everything possible to extend their lifespans.  But some little items are just not worth the energy. So it might be time to toss: 1. Your shower curtain liner .  It's basically impossible to prevent mold from growing on your shower curtain liner . After a few attempts at cleaning the item in your laundry machine, it's worth spending a few bucks on a new one. 2. Your toothbrush holder. Yes, you can technically use the same holder for years on end and wash it regularly. But grime builds up over time and since it holds the very thing that you put in your mouth twice a day, why not replace it more regularly? 3. Th...

Preventing water damage inside our bathrooms is just as important as directing water away from our homes. Caulking, as part of routine homeowner maintenance , prevents avoidable damage around the multiple fixtures and different building materials located inside a bathroom. To get started all you need to know are the areas inside a bathroom that need to be regularly maintained, how to remove existing caulking , and how to apply a new bead of caulk. What Areas Need to Be Maintained? Gaps occur along joints, the transitions between materials or surfaces. These seemingly minor spaces create opportunities for water to penetrate and cause large problems. The typical areas in a bathroom where caulking needs to be maintained exist in and around tubs, showers, and vanities. Specific locations will vary depending on the fixtures and materials installed in your home. Examples include: Along the seams of a tub/shower surround; Along the wall, where a tub/shower surround termin...

Shower curtains are generally a feature of bathroom suites which incorporate a shower over the bath: the curtain is a simple yet effective means of preventing shower spray from soaking your bathroom. The popularity of the shower curtain is perhaps in part down to its budget- friendly design : while you can spend more, a decent, simple shower curtain need only set you back a few dollars. If you have kids, the addition of a brightly coloured shower curtain is a simple way to add child-appeal to your bathroom. From cartoon characters to jungle animals to aquatic creatures (arguably the best choice for a bathroom!) , child- friendly shower curtains come in a plethora of styles, all of which can help to soften an adult space and make it more welcoming for little ones. If yours is an adult only household, you’ll find that shower curtains can bring to your bathroom a riot of colour or a wealth of intricate design that you’d pay considerably more for were you to add the same design, in ...
