Easy Tips for Keeping Bathroom Basins and Mirrors Clean and Neat
Bathroom basins are among the most-used fixtures in our homes. Apart from purchasing a unit with a cupboard underneath to organise and store toiletries, such as this toilet and ceramic basin unit with a stylish wrapped melamine cupboard, what else can you do to keep the basin area spotless?
For one, a regular cleaning goes a long way to keep the area pristine and hygienic, especially focusing on removing spots and spills from surfaces as well as residue from the waste and trap. Tough, for everyday cleaning of basins, you don’t want to perform the latter step as it can cause damage to the surfaces. Read on to discover how you can keep bathroom basins and mirrors neat and clutter-free.
Store beauty products elsewhere
Don’t let nail cleaner, polish, scissors or make-up take over the side of the basin. Apart from the chemicals that can cause stains, any metal items will rust due to constant water exposure, leaving unsightly marks on the surface. Use the cupboard underneath the basin to store the beauty products and metal items, which should be kept on the bottom shelf. In this way, the basin’s surface will remain scratch-free as well.
Wipe the basin clean after every use
A daily rinse and wipe will help to remove any toothpaste, cream, soap or related residue that can cause discolouring of the surface. In doing this, your basin will be free from sticky residue and stay spotless.
Remove rust marks
If rust marks have already developed at the drain hole, use a household rust removal spray or liquid to get rid of the marks.
Prevent water residue marks on taps
Keep the chrome taps on bathroom basins and tubs shiny by regularly polishing them using a damp drying cloth.
Keep mirrors shiny
Prevent streaks from forming on the mirrors by dusting the mirrors before cleaning them. Once they are dust-free, you can spray a glass cleaning detergent over the entire surface before wiping it clean with a micro-fibre cloth. You can use shaving foam to reduce fog build-up. Simply spray the foam onto the surface and polish it using a lint-free soft cloth.
Keeping basins clean also entails keeping the drains unclogged. Use baking soda for this task. Simply sprinkle it into the drain hole and then add vinegar. Leave it standing for a few minutes before rinsing it through with warm water. This will help to remove toothpaste and grime build-up in the waste and trap.
