How to Clean Bathroom Surfaces and Mirrors

Bathroom surfaces have to withstand everyday humidity as well as splashes of soapy water, toothpaste, mouthwash, hairspray, aromatic oils. That is why they are usually made of ceramic tile, cultured granite or marble and walls are covered with waterproof paint. All these materials are easy to clean only with damp cloth. For better result the cleaned areas should be well dried afterwards.

If water is not enough, use a bathroom cleaner (non-abrasive type) with a non-scratching sponge, wipe well with damp cloth and dry.

If limescale has accumulated on the surfaces around the basins and baths, moisten a non-scratching sponge with limescale cleaner, work on the area for a short time, wash well with water and dry the surface. Do not allow the cleaner to stay on the surface for long time as it might damage the enamel. Always check the instructions on the cleaning detergent’s label.

For bathroom mirrors you can always use a glass cleaner from the supermarket. If eco cleaning products are what you prefer to clean with, than you can mix vinegar with warm water. Wipe the mirrors with a cloth moistened with the solution until the marks are removed and buff with a fluff-free cloth or kitchen paper. You can also use rumpled newspaper as it polishes glass surfaces perfectly although it takes more time and effort.
