Because of water, steam, and dirt, the bathroom can easily become a great place for bacteria, mold, and bad odors. If you want to prevent mold and other deposits, try to clean the space at least once a week. Find out how to clean your bathroom quickly and effectively.
If you have a tiled bathroom, prevent your grout from getting dirty and yellowing by scrubbing it weekly. Try this: Mix ¾ cup of chlorine bleach with 3.5 liters of water. Wearing rubber gloves, use a stiff brush to apply the mixture to one small area at a time. Be careful not to let the liquid splash on you or surrounding surfaces. Wait a few minutes, then scrub and rinse. Grout is porous and very susceptible to bacterial growth. Seal the grout every six months to prevent moisture and water infiltration.
Not only is the sink one of the first places you see grime and dirt (think hair and toothpaste marks), but it also harbors a lot of germs. Check out how you can clean it quickly and easily. Spray the entire surface with bathroom disinfectant and wipe it down with a sponge or cloth. Then wipe down the faucet handle.

Remember to clean the shower door regularly. If soap deposits accumulate on them, change to a liquid shower gel or a soap with a natural pH, such as Dove. The water droplets that cling to the shower door contain particles of dissolved soap. Wipe them off each time you shower to prevent buildup.

Wash your shower panels with the solution, let it sit for 10 minutes, then rinse and wipe with a soft, clean cloth.
No one really likes cleaning a toilet, but it has to be done! It usually takes about 10 minutes. Spray all surfaces, including behind and under the toilet seat, with an antibacterial bathroom product. Let it sit for about 10 minutes and then wipe with a soft, clean cloth.
Prepare a solution of ¼ cup of baking soda and a cup of white vinegar, and let it sit in a bowl for 10 minutes, then rinse.

This substance is very concentrated, so be sure to wear gloves and protect your eyes.
Spray your shower tray with the appropriate detergent. If you have a tub, fill it with a few inches of water. Use a brush to get rid of stubborn dirt and soap marks. Pour in the cleaning detergent, let it sit for a while, and then rinse with warm water.
