Applying elbow grease to your bathroom is a rite of passage this time of year. That’s right; spring cleaning is upon us. Mopping, dusting, disinfecting – that’s the easy, obvious stuff. But before you call it a day, make sure to remember these hidden spots if you want a truly sparkling clean bathroom.

 

Vent Fan Covers – Although the air might seem clean, there’s likely unhealthy dust hiding behind the cover of your exhaust fan. Remove your cover by pinching any spring loaded clasps that connect to the fan. Once the plate is removed, run water over the fan and take a toothbrush to all crevices to rid the device of dust. Be sure to take a vacuum to the fan be reattaching.

 

Faucet Aerators – Getting rid of gunk in your faucet takes a little more than simply running water until it’s gone. Faucets come with an aerator, which is found at the tip of the faucet and prevents splashing, creates an even stream, and conserves water. Gunk and debris can get caught in the aerator, so regularly removing and cleaning this piece can help keep it clean.

 

Calcified Shower Head – Hard water buildup is a common occurrence on many shower heads. When holes get clogged, they can create problems with water pressure while making it’s home to high levels of bacteria. Fill a bag with vinegar and wrap it around your shower head, securing it with a rubber band. After leaving it on for a few hours, remove the bag and scrub the remaining debris off with a toothbrush. The end result will be a free-flowing stream and a better shower experience.

 

Shower Grout – No bathroom feels clean without immaculate grout. There is no uniformed way to clean grout, but applying cleaning solution and water to the grout and scrubbing away is truly the finishing touch for any bathroom.

 

Spotless Glass Door – There’s no better way to view your newly clean shower head, tiles and grout than through the lens of a clean glass shower door. Squeegee your glass to avoid water spots and mineral damage. If you do this after every use, your shower door will remain pristine.
