You’re probably cleaning your bathroom these wrong ways. Keep reading for bathroom cleaning wrong ways to avoid, plus tips and tricks to clean your bathroom more quickly and effectively.\n Heating your tub, sink, and tiles just 10 degrees above normal air temperature can double the effectiveness of alkaline cleansers. Fill your tub or sink with the hottest water you can run from the tap and let it sit for a few minutes before scrubbing and cleaning bathroom areas.\n Don\u2019t waste any energy scrubbing a shower curtain liner when cleaning bathroom areas. Throw it into the washing machine with a couple of towels, a cup of vinegar, and run for about five minutes. Let the towels and curtain soak in the water for an hour before turning the machine back on to finish the cycle. Hang to dry.\n Meet your new best friend, the microfiber cloth. These cloths are composed of ultrafine synthetic fibers woven together to create a static charge that attracts dirt and dust, so you can tackle dusting without using sprays. Even better\u2014you can wash and reuse them so the environment will thank you, too.\n A recent study from the University of Manchester found that the average toothbrush contained about 10 million germs, including E. coli. Rinse it well after each use and occasionally soak it in a cup of vinegar for about 30 minutes to take care of any leftover bacteria. Replace your toothbrush every three months\u2014but save the old one; you can use it to clean hard-to-reach places around the house.\n Think your vacuum is only for carpet? Think again. Before cleaning your tile floors, vacuum or sweep to remove loose dirt and debris, then wash with a cleaning solution. It\u2019ll save you time in the long run instead of scrubbing a filthy, dusty floor when cleaning your bathroom.\n Gross alert: It\u2019s way too easy for urine and fecal matter to build up back there, leaving an icky residue that\u2019s hard to clean. Roll up a few paper towels (you\u2019re better off with these for this dirty job than a reusable cloth), dip them in antibacterial cleaner, and, while facing the throne, \u201cfloss\u201d the back of the toilet. Let it sit for a few minutes and then \u201cfloss\u201d again with a dry paper towel to finish the job.
