Pre-treat Surfaces
Spray vinegar or an all-purpose cleaner on your sink, tub, and shower walls before you start. Let it sit for 10 minutes to break down soap scum and grime.
Use Baking Soda for Stains
Sprinkle baking soda directly on stubborn spots in the tub or sink. Scrub with a damp cloth or brush for a powerful, non-toxic abrasive.
Clean the Toilet with Minimal Effort
Pour toilet bowl cleaner around the rim and let it sit while you clean other areas. Then scrub and flush—no need to hover.
Squeegee the Shower Daily
Keep a squeegee in the shower and run it over glass doors and tiles after each use. This reduces water spots and mold growth.
Soak Showerheads in Vinegar
Fill a plastic bag with white vinegar, tie it around your showerhead, and leave it overnight to dissolve mineral buildup.
Tackle Mirrors with Dish Soap
Mix water and a drop of dish soap in a spray bottle. Clean your mirrors with this streak-free solution and a microfiber cloth.
Declutter First
Clear counters and shelves before cleaning. Fewer items mean less dusting and wiping down.
Clean Grout with a Toothbrush
Make a paste with baking soda and water. Use a toothbrush to scrub grout lines, then rinse with water or vinegar.
Freshen Drains Naturally
Pour ½ cup baking soda followed by ½ cup vinegar down the drain. Let it fizz for 10–15 minutes before rinsing with hot water.
Add a Final Touch
Wipe all surfaces dry with a microfiber cloth and place a few drops of lemon essential oil in the toilet paper roll to keep the space smelling clean.
