For most of us, cleaning the bathroom is a daunting task that requires toxic chemicals and can be a workout in and of itself. You shouldn't have to dread keeping your space clean, even if it is a room guests rarely see. Your bathroom should be a welcoming place as it is a personal space for you and your family. We've gathered 5 easy tips to keep your bathroom clean without using harmful cleaners! You'll be surprised by what these everyday materials can do!
- Battle soap scum with baby oil. Baby oil helps to soften the soap scum that accumulates on the side of your tub. Mix 1 part baby oil with 4 parts water in a spray bottle. Try to avoid spraying the floor of the tub when applying to the sides. Let the solution set for a few minutes and then wipe it away using a damp cloth or sponge. If the floor of your tub is slippery from excess oil, wipe it down with some vinegar.
- Sweep away soap stains with stockings. A paste made from cream of tartar and 3 percent hydrogen peroxide helps to remove soap residue from the bathtub, sink or surrounding tiles. If you don't have a bristle brush, an old pair of nylon stockings works fine! Roll them into a ball to form non-scratch cleaning scrubbers.
- Clean the toilet bowl with cola. You heard correct! We said soda! Empty a can of cola into the toilet bowl and let it sit for about an hour. Then scrub and flush. Any sticky drops left over can be wiped up with white vinegar.
- Banish toilet bowl rings. Sprinkle borax around the inside of the bowl and into the water before you go to bed. In the morning, take a brush and whisk the stains away. White vinegar and baking soda can also get the job done.
- Unclog the drain with foam and fizz. Hairballs and cosmetics are just some of the reasons your drains clog up. Help unclog a slow drain by pouring 1/2 a cup of baking soda down it, followed by 3/4 cup of white vinegar. These two substances tend to fizz and foam when combined so stand back after pouring. After 20 minutes, flush the drain with hot water.
