The bathroom can be a very challenging room in the home to clean effectively. To add to the problem, the surfaces are typically highly reflective, which means that everything you clean with some types of shower spray cleaner products is going to look streaky and dull.
The key to choosing the right shower spray cleaner for the job is to select a product that has the power to cut through soap scum, dirt and grime while still leaving a beautiful, streak-free shine. Additionally, you should always use non-toxic cleaner both for your health and the protection of the environment.
Basic Cleaning Tips
When you are using a high quality, effective shower spray cleaner that is non-toxic and doesn’t create harmful fumes you can treat the complete shower with the spray at once. This will speed up the process and also prevent those annoying streaks at can occur when you are applying the cleaner to only small sections at a time.
Start by spraying first at the top of the shower walls and doors and work the spray bottle downwards towards the floor. This is the most efficient way to apply the spray, and it provides full coverage on all surfaces.
Allow the spray to sit on the shower surfaces for a few minutes to deep clean. Using a microfiber cloth or a non-abrasive sponge, wipe the shower area. Start at the top and move across the shower is broad strokes. If you are using a quality product on a daily basis, you can often skip this step and simply apply and then rinse with clear water.
Finishing Up
For the shower and tub area, rinse with clean, warm water and allow to dry. If you have hard water that leaves deposits, wipe down with a dry, lint-free cloth to prevent water droplet stains.
Countertops, sinks, toilets and floors can be wiped clean and will look amazing. By choosing one cleaner to clean everything in the bathroom, the process is much quicker and easier.
Cleaning the bathroom on a daily basis is a simple way to cut down on soap scum and mold or mildew issues. With an effective cleaner this becomes an easy task and one that only takes few minutes to complete.
Bathrooms with natural stone or marble need to be cleaned very differently. Carefully check the product and ensure it is safe for use on these types of bathroom surfaces before using.
