\nMaking the bathroom sparkle and shine (and sanitized) doesn\u2019t have to be the dreadful chore that we often turn it into. These bathroom cleaning hacks can help you get your bathroom super clean without spending a lot of time and elbow grease on it.\n
\n
For this hack, you\u2019ll need a power drill, a washer, bolt, machine screw, and a soap dispenser brush. Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke. A power drill and a bolt walk into a bar\u2026\u2026.off topic. Basically, put the screw into the brush and secure it with the bolt and the washer.\n
Attach this onto the power drill and dip the brush into soapy water. Turn the drill on so that the brush starts cleaning the tile, grout, and even your toilet bowl! Genius right??\n
\n
You know that scrub brush you\u2019ve had in your cabinet that you\u2019ve been MEANING to use on the dishes? Forget it, because it will totally save your bathroom. Fill the brush with a solution made of water and vinegar in a 1:1 ratio and scrub away. You get an incredible amount of lather, making the surface easier to scrub.\n
Turns out, I don\u2019t need to make a cleaner or buy one. I just need to use something I drink anyway on a daily basis! No offense to the coffee lovers. Just soak 3-4 tea bags in some warm\/hot water and then pour this concentrated water into a spray bottle. Spray away! Watch that glass window shine and ACTUALLY let the sunlight in. How is it shining you may ask?\n
A substance called tannic acid, present in the black tea, causes surfaces to shine. Use it without hesitation, there won\u2019t be any black residue on the surfaces!\n
Looking for a lazy yet effective way to clean your showerheads and faucets? Look no further. Literally, all you have to do is fill up a Ziploc or plastic bag with vinegar and tie it around the faucet or showerhead. Secure it with a thick rubber band and let it soak overnight. Scrub it off the next morning, and admire the shine.\n
\n
I have to say that despite my love for cleaning, I loathe cleaning the toilet bowl. It\u2019s kinda like cooking and eating a meal. You\u2019re super excited about the fried potatoes, green beans, and pie, but you\u2019re really not looking forward to the kale salad. This method is pretty straightforward.\n
Fill the toilet bowl with a mixture of baking soda and white vinegar (1\/4 cup each) and let it soak for 15 minutes. Flush the toilet and voila!\n
\n
Who knows what you can find in a bathtub? Miles of clogged hair, a new alien species, grime in weird nooks and crannies\u2026\u2026the list goes on. Basically, all this stuff makes it very difficult to clean the bathtub and get it back to perfection.\n
So, combine 1 part of dish soap and 1 part of warm vinegar in a spray bottle and coat all the problematic surfaces. Let this rest for 30 minutes before cleaning it off.\n
\n
You know those water stains you can\u2019t seem to get rid of? Pouring more water on top of it isn\u2019t going to clean it. Believe me, the 7-year-old version of me thought she was very smart while doing that. Turns out, all you need is a lemon. Cut a lemon in half and rub it over the stain. Let it rest for about 30 minutes before pouring some water over it.\n
\n
I feel like the only time I get to relax is in the shower. Seriously! Then I look at the dirty shower and realize that I have to clean myself and the shower. All you need apparently is a magic eraser! Scrub the shower, and yourself! It really won\u2019t take a lot of time.\n
Have you ever pulled out a bunch of hair from the drain and wondered which planet it originated from? Sorry, mom, it was totally my hair the last 3 times even though I said it wasn\u2019t. All you need are 4 Alka \u2013 Seltzer tablets to be dropped down the drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Wait for 10 minutes before pouring some boiling water to get rid of residual bacteria.\n
While this hack may take a little craftiness on your end, it\u2019s definitely ingenious. Take a huge foam sponge and take out enough sponge from one side to fit exactly one soap bar. This way, every time you use the soap, neither the soap suds nor the soap gets wasted!\n
You know those nooks and crannies you can\u2019t reach? That crack line right below the toilet bowl or the pipelines under the sink? Take a wet wipe, drape it over a screwdriver and nudge it into these gaps for proper cleaning. Genius right?\n
The kitchen and bathroom are pretty much breeding grounds for bacteria, no matter how much dish soap you use or wet wipes you wipe down with. You probably end up throwing out more sponges than how many you use.\n
Rather than wasting a trip to the store every time you need one, just cut the corners off of the sponge to re-purpose it! It\u2019s kinda like making repairs to your old car.\n
\n
It\u2019s really important to keep your bathtub clean, especially if you have kids. Since the bathroom and kitchen are breeding grounds for bacteria anyway, a normal cleaner isn\u2019t going to cut it. Cut a grapefruit in half, and rub some salt on its face, and scrub your bathtub with it. Make sure your bathtub is a little wet while doing this, to really make the salt stick.\n
\n
There\u2019s nothing worse than taking a shower, going to the mirror to make yourself presentable, then pause to clean the fogged-up mirror. To be honest, whenever I wipe the mirror, it just fogs up again. Wipe it down with a thin layer of shaving cream, and it will act as a protective layer.\n
\n
Since it isn\u2019t as heavily infested with bacteria compared to other parts of the house, a simple cleaner will do for this area. It\u2019s kinda the lesser of\u2026.many evils. See what I did there? Sinks shouldn\u2019t be too much of a concern in terms of bacteria, but it\u2019s definitely an area where there\u2019s a large build-up of hard water. For which, you just need a paste made of equal parts of vinegar and baking soda. Let it sit for 15 minutes before you demolish it with a scrubber.\n
This is probably something you hide from your kids anyway on a regular basis. So, put it to good use and clean your toilet! Empty a packet into the toilet bowl, and scrub for uber freshness and shine.\n
The counters are as essential to the bathroom, as garbage cans are to your house. They\u2019re overlooked, but essential to clean and maintain. Make a concoction of water and vinegar in a 1:1 ratio and use a toothbrush to scrub it into the surface. Make sure to rotate the toothbrush in circles to really stick it.\n
\n
The whole point of cleaning the floor is to get gunk and grime off of it so that you don\u2019t have any oopsy daisy moments. As someone who is very clumsy, this happens more often than I\u2019d care to admit.\n
Do a basic rundown of the floor by sweeping or vacuuming the dust. Then use a wire cleaner to get out the grime and grout stuck between the tiles. As a final touch, mop the floor with a bit of cleaner to give it some shine.\n
Hard water, dirt, grime, and rust are just new flavors of the week on the sides of your curtain that refuse to come out. Just throw them into the washing machine with your kids\u2019 towels with a little bit of bleach. This saves time and sanity.\n
If your sink doesn\u2019t look like Monica\u2019s worst nightmare, then call me. Because right now, I open my sink and a million things hit me in the face. Organizing with bins really reduces clutter, making it much easier to access items.\n
Whew! I\u2019m pretty sure your toilet felt the after-effects of last night\u2019s spicy food fest, but now you have no idea how to get rid of the smell. Make some easy cleaning bombs to store for later use with 1\/4 cup of citric acid, 1\/4 cup of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of dish soap.\n
Press these into silicone molds and you\u2019re done! Let these soak in the toilet bowl before you flush after 20 minutes.\n
I always love objects that are multi-functional. They\u2019re kinda like unicorns. They can be used to freshen the toilet, get rid of dust in the bathroom, and shine surfaces! To clean the toilet bowl, just drop a sheet in and flush.\n
\n
Those hard water stains are very difficult to get rid of. Not anymore! Simply put a few drops of baby oil on a towel and rub your chrome faucets and shower handles. Isn\u2019t that why they say, \u201cwash away your troubles with some bubbles.\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
