Usually a bathroom is a small room. Therefore, many believe that cleaning there is not difficult. It’s enough not to forget to wash the toilet, sink, floor, wipe the mirror and tile... All this will take no more than 20 minutes. Nevertheless, this approach is fundamentally wrong.

The bathroom is not only small, but also the wettest part of the apartment. Therefore, with insufficient care, fungus and even mold may appear here.
To avoid this, it is necessary to take into account the mistakes that we most often make during cleaning.
1. We use cold water
Cold water, even in combination with a cleaning chemical, will not be able to cope with all the dirt and, most importantly, with many microbes. By the way, the latter die exclusively in hot water.
Most powders dissolve at high fluid temperatures. And all kinds of gels work twice as efficient. Want to clean your bathroom in a quality manner? Use only hot and warm water (approximately 10 ° above room temperature).
2. Do you wash your toothbrushes?
Just rinsing the brush after use is not enough! Like other items, it constantly collects harmful bacteria on itself. To ensure that this hygiene item does not cause a serious illness, it is necessary to monitor its cleanliness.
For disinfection, it is enough to leave the toothbrushes in apple cider vinegar for half an hour, and then rinse with warm running water. So all harmful microorganisms will disappear, and your health will be in danger.
Advice! Do not forget to change the brush to a new one every three months!
3. We use paper towels
The sense in such cleaning is practically absent. Ordinary rags and paper towels only scatter dust around. To really clean the bathroom, use microfiber.
Now these rags can be found in every hardware store. This fabric does not just “sweep out” dusty particles, but collects them onto itself. The static charge between synthetic nearby villi literally attracts all the dirt.
Besides, microfiber does a great job with glass and mirrors. It does not leave stains and does not require the use of special sprays.
4. Do you brush hair brushes?
Do not think that hairbrushes are always clean and do not require care. Every day dust and invisible particles of sebum settle on them. Therefore, simply removing the hair remaining between the teeth is not enough. Rinse your brush regularly to keep your hair clean.
Just mix a small amount of shampoo with soda, and apply the product on the teeth and the entire space between them. After a while, the mixture can be washed off. In this case, all the dirt disappears.
5. Three spots on the curtain
And at the same time we are wasting our time and energy. Much it’s more efficient to put it in the washing machine along with a few towels and a little vinegar.
If the curtain is very dirty, then you can stop the machine after 5-10 minutes of washing, and after some time continue the procedure. As a result, even old spots are removed.
6. You think carpet cleaner only?
Agree, it is very inconvenient to wash the floor when there is sand, dust or cat hair on it. It seems that instead of cleaning you just carry the dirt. To prevent such an effect, you can simply vacuum it before washing the room (not forgetting about corners and other inaccessible places).
Important! If there are puddles on the floor, the vacuum cleaner may deteriorate. Watch out for dryness!
7. Do you clean the toilet?
For some reason, the mistresses constantly forget about this place. Meanwhile a large amount of dirt accumulates on the back of the toilet.
So, even if you cleaned the entire room cleanly, but forgot to drop in with a rag and disinfectant on the toilet, the germs will continue to actively multiply here.
Maintaining house order is actually not that difficult. The main thing is to do it regularly and correctly.
