~ Quick Cleaning Tips ~1. Protect your skin by wearing rubber gloves when working with bleach. Treat yourself to a hand treatment while you clean by slathering your hands with Vaseline® and slipping on a pair of white cotton gloves, then the rubber gloves. Your hands and your shower will look amazing!
2. If you’re sensitive to chlorine bleach, use an oxygen bleach like OxiClean® instead. It may take a bit longer than chlorine bleach, but it’ll remove the stains. When cleaning with any bleach, open the door and windows to keep the air circulating and be careful not to breathe the fumes.
3. Keep tiles shiny by rubbing them with a good quality car wax after cleaning. It will prevent soap and water buildup, and the water will bead up and dry right off.
The best way to prevent mildew is to clean the shower every week. Use a squeegee to wipe down tiles after showering. Leave the shower curtain open and crack a window, if possible, so tiles can dry quickly. The faster tiles dry, the less chance mold and mildew has to grow.
To make cleaning fun, put on an upbeat CD and pretend you’re doing aerobics as you stretch and bend. Reward yourself by skipping your workout that day — you deserve it!
To keep your bathroom smelling fresh, keep a rosemary plant on the windowsill. The steam from the shower will release the herb’s relaxing fragrance.
