How Doing Routine Shower Cleaning?

/in /by

Clean your shower after you use it. The running water in your shower loosens surface dirt and softens soap residue on your travertine tiles. For optimal results, tackle shower cleaning after your shower has primed the tiles for you. Spray your wet tiles with a non-acidic soap scum remover. Travertine, like all limestones, is extremely sensitive to acids.

Use a non-acidic stone cleaner, such as Granite Gold Shower Cleaner or MB-3, and spray the travertine thoroughly from the top to the bottom. Let the cleaner sit on the stone for 10 minutes to begin dissolving any soap scum. Given travertine’s acid sensitivity, always avoid applying vinegars or other citrus cleaners.

Use warm water to scrub the tiles. Fill a bucket with warm water, and begin scrubbing the tiles with it. Use a diamond-shaped brush to wash the entire top row of tiles, applying firm pressure to loosen soap scum. Progress to the next highest row, methodically working your way to the bottom row. This way, dirty water will run down on tiles you’ve yet to clean.

Focus particular attention on any surface holes in the travertine when cleaning, as they can collect soap scum. A diamond-shaped brush makes it easy to clean your shower’s innermost corners easily, but any shape is fine. Use a soft toothbrush to scrub grout.

Spray your grout with the non-acidic cleaner you used on the tile, and scrub each grout line back and forth with an old toothbrush. Focus your scrubbing on areas of mildew growth and discoloration. Many grout formulas contain acids and should not be used with travertine. If possible, use a toothbrush with softer bristles, as hard-bristled toothbrushes may etch the surface of the stone.

The Knowledge of Bathroom Clean

Clean the mirror. Use cleaner, rinse it and wipe the excessive water off with a towel or squeegee. To add a shine to your mirror add a bit vinegar to the water. if just cleaning with water wipe with a towel after.

Clean the exterior of the toilet. Wipe the outside, starting with the flush handle so as not to re-contaminate it, with a cloth soaked in disinfectant cleaner. Thoroughly wash and rinse all exterior surfaces of the toilet bowl, including the underside and flared base, the top and underside of the seat and lid, and the hinges and their mounting area with a cloth and detergent or similar cleaner. Don’t forget to use a cloth specially assigned for cleaning the toilet, or a paper towel (throw it away, don’t flush it).

Scrub the bowl with a toilet brush and flush. You probably won’t have to scrub hard: let the soapy water and patience dissolve the problem. Coat the inside of the bowl with a viscous acidic cleaner generally sold in an angle-necked bottle. Take special care to cover the entire inside edge of the rim; it’ll run down toward other areas.

Allow the cleaner to soak for half an hour or more before scrubbing the entire bowl including under the rim with a toilet bowl brush, let it soak a little longer after it’s been well-distributed though thinned by the initial scrubbing, then scrub some more and flush it away.

Sweep and mop the floor. Start with the farthest point from the door. Sweep up all the dust and debris you’ve cleaned so far and let fall on the floor, then mop using hot soapy bleach water. Remember to rinse the floor with clean water to remove slippery soap residue. Be sure to get along the sides of your toilet bowl where it is anchored to the floor. This area is notoriously dirty. Don’t forget to clean the base boards or base molds these places usually accumulates a lot of dust.

Find an unwanted old toothbrush and wash it thoroughly. Get rid of all excess toothpaste gunk that may be on it. Apply a small amount of bleach or other counter-safe cleaning product to the toothbrush. Scrub away! The toothbrush helps to get in areas that are narrow or need very detailed scrubbing.
