Well, with a few nifty tricks up your sleeve, you can get that spotless bathroom without having to break the bank.
Vinegar
Get creative with vinegar: Vinegar is one of the best cleaning products out there and it’s already in your kitchen! Mix some white vinegar with warm water and spray it over surfaces as an effective cleaner.
Not just for fish and chips, salt and vinegar is ideal for shining up all things chrome in your bathroom or shower. Just add 2 tablespoons of salt to 1 tablespoon of white distilled vinegar and you have the perfect solution to shine your chrome until you can see your face in it.
Also, give your shower doors the once over with a sponge and then follow up with a healthy spray of white vinegar will get rid of any hard water deposits that the initial cleaning may have left behind, giving you crystal clear doors.
Notice the white deposits that congregate around the holes in your shower head. Submerge the shower head in white distilled vinegar for around 20 minutes and it will be as good as new, preventing a build-up that could lead to a blockage or leakage.
Baking Soda
Spray your bathroom tiles with a mixture of 1 cup baking soda and some warm water, allow it to settle before scrubbing it off with a brush, the baking soda will provide an abrasive action that will get rid of all those stubborn stains quickly and easily!
Drain cleaner and plug un-blocker is expensive stuff, so why not try pouring one cup of baking soda followed by one cup of white vinegar down your plughole? Leave the solution for around 5 minutes and then run the hot tap and hey presto! You have cleaned and deodorised your drain.
Alternatively, add 3 Alka-Seltzer tablets to your drain followed by a cup of white vinegar and you will get the same effect.
Baking soda can get rid of the toughest stains, from bathroom grime through to oven grease. If you have a job that looks difficult to tackle then rub baking soda on a damp sponge and give your item a good scrub, you should find that it lifts the dirt just as well as any conventional cleaner.
