How to Clean a Bathroom

Homemade Toilet Bowl Cleaner
- Sprinkle baking soda into the bowl, then drizzle with vinegar and scour with a toilet brush. This combination cleans and deodorizes.
- Find out more about household uses of baking soda and uses of vinegar.
Cleaning Fiberglass Tubs and Showers
- Make a paste of baking soda and water.
- Wet the surface of the tub or shower stall; gently rub with the paste on a sponge or soft nylon brush.
- Rinse thoroughly. Never use an abrasive cleaner (such as common scouring powder), any abrasive scouring pad, steel wool, or a scraper.
Cleaning Bathroom Tile and Tubs
- Sprinkle baking soda in place of scouring powder in your tub or on the tiles. Rub with a damp sponge. Rinse thoroughly.
- To remove film buildup on bathtubs, apply full-strength white vinegar to a sponge and wipe the area. Next, use baking soda as you would scouring powder. Rub with a damp sponge and rinse thoroughly.
- Vinegar removes most dirt without scrubbing and doesn’t leave a film. Use 1/4 cup (or more) vinegar to 1 gallon water.
- To clean grout, put 3 cups baking soda into a medium-size bowl and add 1 cup warm water. Mix into a smooth paste and scrub into grout with a sponge or toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly and dispose of leftover paste when finished.

I'm one of your readers and I always wanted to start my own Cleaning Service. This is a really great referencethat I can always look into.
Can I try Vinegar & Borax to clean the bathroom
I use it in place of fabric softener. Works great. No smell after the clothes are dried.
I had an old container of peroxide that was almost full, so I poured it into the toilet bowl, getting it on the sides, above the water, too. I don't know what made me do that, but my toilet looked so clean you'd think it was brand new, and it was over 20 years old, at the time. I think it helps that I don't use abrasive cleaners, so the surface is not all scratched up.
Not original with me, but one of the best bathroom cleaners is Dawn and white vinegar mixed in equal parts in a spray bottle. Spray on surfaces and wipe with damp cloth. Over time, even the worst soap scum will be
removed.
I use this too! It's the bomb and I mean that literally! Spray this stuff on, leave it for 30 minutes and wipe off everything that's dirty! Sparkly clean!
Need how much portion of dawn ?
Bar-keepers friend worked on ridding my grimy bathtub of flower and butterfly decals and most of the stains. I used gloves and an old toothbrush and razor blade. The stains came back eventually, so spring cleaning is due soon.
I inherited a streaked glass door in a house I recently moved into. I have tried most commercial glass cleaners, coffee filters. Probably should try vinegar next.
use white wall tire cleaner, spray on , set for a few minutes and then use a brush to scrub the joints and rinse twice with clean waiter, Use gloves and safety glasses
