6 Budget-Friendly Secrets for a Squeaky Clean Bathroom
Yes, it might sound surprising, but you read that right. Using shaving cream to clean your mirrors will prevent them from fogging up when the bathroom gets steamy. Simply apply a thin layer of shaving cream over the mirror, then polish it off with a dry cloth. This simple trick will clear up your foggy post-shower skincare and makeup routine, leaving you with a sparkling, steam-free mirror for about two to three weeks (or until it gets splashed again).
Clean Your Shower Screen Without Streaks
Distilled white vinegar is an affordable and non-toxic disinfectant. Mix equal parts of water and white vinegar in a spray bottle. Spray the solution onto the shower screen and use a cloth to wipe the area. For stubborn stains, pour the mixture onto the cloth and scrub the stains. Wipe away any remaining watermarks with a cloth or squeegee, then buff the surface with a microfiber cloth.
Make it a habit to use a squeegee after each shower to significantly reduce limescale build-up and keep your shower sparkling clean.
Out of bathroom cleaner? Aspirin isn’t just for pain relief! The salicylic acid in aspirin makes it a powerful cleaning agent. If you find yourself out of cleaner mid-routine, simply drop two aspirin tablets into water and use the solution like any other cleaner to tackle dirt and soap scum around your sink and shower.
We’re all familiar with the water spots that appear everywhere in the bathroom, from the shower to the sink. Getting rid of them is both simple and inexpensive. Just rub a half lemon over your stained chrome fixtures, and the spots should disappear instantly. Plus, this citrus cleaner will help mask any unpleasant odors and leave your bathroom smelling fresh.
Wash Your Toothbrush Holder in the Dishwasher
Toothbrush holders can be surprisingly dirty. Don’t worry—cleaning it is easier than you might think. Just toss it in your dishwasher with your next load and let it do the work for you.
