How do I deep clean my shower?
There are a few things that people forget to do when cleaning the shower, especially when it comes to frequency of cleaning. Most people just wash the tub, the curtain and the walls once a month and forget doing this:
- Unclogging the drain
- Deep cleaning the shower head
- Washing the shower caddy
- Replacing the caulk if needed
The drain
The drain doesn seem so important until it clogs. Then it’s time to call the plumber to deal with all the mess. Isn’t it better to skip that step by occasionally cleaning the drain and removing the trapped hair with a drain snake? You can also pour some baking soda and vinegar down the drain and clean the whole pipe without using toxic chemicals. This will make your showers much more enjoyable when you see all the water rapidly going down the hole, without any buildup.
The shower head
This is another one of the areas in the shower that often gets ignored until it gets clogged due to hard water. Most people usually throw away the shower head and replace it with a new one, but that’s such a waste. Why would you buy a new one, when the one you already have is so easy to clean?Â
Here’s a trick for unclogging it: vinegar! Fill up a zip-lock bag with vinegar and wrap it around the shower head, so it’s soaked in the solution. Leave it in for an hour and then rinse. Your shower head will be as good as new! This is one of the most effective bathroom cleaning hacks that can be used for cleaning the faucet in your kitchen and bathroom sink.
The shower caddy
When was the last time you cleaned your shower caddy? This is the part of the shower that always gets wet, so it could be moldy on the inside without you even knowing it. Make it a habit to empty out your container and give it a daily wipe, to save it from deteriorating.
The caulk
This might seem like a complicated job to do, so you’d think about calling a professional to do it, but did you know that you can actually do it yourself? Replacing the caulk is easy if you follow these steps:
- Scrape away the old caulk;
- Make a guide for the new caulk with tape;
- Put in a new caulk (silicone or latex) and wipe away the excess with a wet finger.
This will give your shower a fresh look and it will prevent the water from running between the tub and the walls. Still, you can always rely on professionals if this sounds like too much work.Â
How do I get my shower white again?
When you think of whitening any surface, you probably think of bleach. However, it’s important to note that not everything should be bleached. By using a natural cleaning product, like baking soda or hydrogen peroxide, you can ensure that your whites remain white, without causing any harm to the surface.Â
To make a solution, mix hydrogen peroxide and baking soda so it forms a paste. Then apply it to the tub and let it sit for a few minutes. Use a sponge to scrub, rinse with warm water and your tub will be white again! If your tiles are in need of a polish, you can try other methods for making your marble shine again.
