Bathroom Cleaning Tips for Your Encino Apartment

Cleaning your bathroom isn’t a chore most of us look forward to; here are some tips to making it easier giving you more time to have fun in and around your ??? apartment.

1. After you shower wipe down the faucets with a cloth and the tub with a squeegee. Be sure to use a cloth to wipe down corners and ledges where the squeegee won’t go.
2. Don’t forget to pull the shower curtain closed when not in use. This will prevent water from sitting in the folds.
3. Keep your toilet clean by using a bleach product or a white vinegar, flush the toilet and pour in (or spray) and leave overnight. Be sure to close the lid.  Scrub clean and flush.
4. Give the pipes a good cleaning by pourng ½ cup of backing soda down the drain, followed by ½ cup of vinegar. Allow the mixture to foam up and then pour boiling hot water down the drain.  This will wash out any clogs and help sanitize the drain.  Don’t forget the sink drain as well.
5. Keep disposable antibacterial wipes handy and wipe down faucets and the sink top each day.
6. Remove soap scum with a mixture of white vinegar and water. Many experts recommend getting the area warm before spraying by turning the shower on using hot water.
7. Remove bleach in grouts with a mixture of water and bleach (you can use oxygen bleach if you are concerned about chlorine bleach). The mixture is 10 parts water to one part bleach.  Let it sit and then brush with a grout brush or an old SOFT tooth brush.
8. Towels should be hung so that they dry completely.
9. Be sure to clean bacteria and mildew from bath toys using a vinegar and water solution. Don’t forget to clean bath sponges and wipe down your shampoos regularly.
10. Vacuum the bathroom floor before cleaning and use a two sided mop, one side being microfiber.

Follow these ten tips will help keep your apartment’s bathroom clean.
