High-Traffic Cleanup

Bathroom cleaning is easy if you take it step by step. Here are our suggestions for tackling some of the major traffic areas.

 

• Sink: Use general-purpose spray cleaners or mix vinegar and water. Scrub a mildly abrasive cleanser or baking soda paste on grime. Don't use abrasives on scratchable surfaces.
• Toilet and Toilet Bowl: Spray the exterior with general-purpose cleaner or vinegar and water. Sanitize the bowl with antibacterial toilet cleaner or 1/4 cup bleach to 1 gallon water.
• Showerhead: To remove lime, fill a plastic bag with white vinegar. Attach over the showerhead with a rubber band. Wait 1 hour; remove vinegar, turn on water to flush. Polish with a soft cloth.
• Tub and Faucets: Undiluted bleach pits porcelain. Clean with general-purpose cleaner, vinegar and water, or baking soda paste. Use stain-removing cleanser on rust.
