Cleaning your bathroom can seem like a chore for many, but it doesn’t have to be. By learning about common cleaning mistakes, you can simplify your cleaning routine and achieve more effective cleaning with less effort. With CYCLE’s eco-friendly bathroom cleaner, you can not only remove stubborn stains, but also take care of your health and the planet. Now, here are some examples of things you should definitely avoid before cleaning your bathroom.
- Using inappropriate cleaning products on delicate surfaces
It’s tempting to use one cleaner for everything in your bathroom, but this approach can damage certain surfaces over time. Harsh chemical (traditional) cleaners, for example, can corrode or dull the delicate surfaces of chrome fixtures and scratch special bathroom tiles.
Solution: CYCLE bathroom cleaner is specially formulated to safely treat a variety of bathroom surfaces. It's tough on limescale, but gentle enough for taps, shower heads, bathroom tiles and even chrome. For perfect results, use CYCLE window cleaner for shower glass and CYCLE toilet foam for toilet bowls.
- Avoiding places with high humidity
Bathrooms are high-moisture environments, and certain areas, such as grout lines, shower corners, and under sinks, are particularly prone to moisture buildup. Neglecting and improperly cleaning these areas can lead to the growth of mold and mildew, which can become increasingly difficult to clean over time.
Solution: Regular cleaning with CYCLE bathroom cleaner will help keep grout and tiles looking fresh.
- Skipping the rinse
It's easy to forget to rinse thoroughly after using cleaning products. Cleaning product residue left on surfaces can not only cause dust and soap scum to build up, but can also create a sticky feel, which can later cause these surfaces to become dull and require more frequent cleaning.
Solution: After using CYCLE bathroom cleaner, quickly rinse surfaces such as sinks, faucets and tiles. This will remove any remaining cleaner and ensure freshness and shine.
Pro tip: After rinsing, go over the cleaned surfaces with a damp microfiber cloth. This will help to make everything in your bathroom extra shiny and free of water spots.
- Excessive use of cleaning agents
Using too much cleaning product can be tempting, especially when dealing with stubborn stains. However, using more than necessary can actually be harmful to your health - think of the time you inhaled a strong cleaning agent and had to immediately open the window or door - and it doesn't improve the cleanliness either.
Solution: Use natural cleaning products that are just as effective against stains as traditional cleaners, but are gentler on you and the planet.
- Neglecting shower heads and faucets
Mineral deposits and water stains can quickly build up on shower heads and faucets, leading to reduced water flow and dull surfaces. Regular cleaning prevents these deposits from becoming difficult to remove.
Solution: Spray the cleaner onto these surfaces and let it sit for a few minutes before wiping or rinsing. For stubborn stains, wrap a cloth soaked in CYCLE cleaner around the faucet and let it sit for a few more minutes.
+1. Neglecting the shower glass
One of the easiest ways to keep your shower glass crystal clear is to wipe it dry after each use. If water remains on the glass surfaces, it can evaporate and leave behind hard water spots or limescale. Over time, these can cause the glass to become cloudy and require scrubbing.
Solution: Keep a squeegee or microfiber cloth in the bathroom and give the glass a quick wipe after every shower. This little habit will help prevent hard water stains from forming.
By avoiding these common bathroom cleaning mistakes, you will not only save time, but also ensure a cleaner and healthier environment for yourself and your family. CYCLE's sustainable cleaning products allow you to maintain a fresh, sparkling bathroom while making eco-friendly choices.
