Bathroom is one of the germiest spaces in the house (besides the kitchen), which is why it demands constant attention. Finding the best way to clean your bathroom shouldn’t be too difficult: depending on what your goal is you can select suitable cleaning products, tools, and techniques.

Experts at house cleaning in Queens can help provide answers to some of your burning questions: how to get rid of dust in your home? How to properly maintain wooden furniture? Or how to clean your walls like a pro? You don’t have to hire professional cleaners in order to put their best cleaning tips and tricks to good use!

How do you disinfect a bathroom?

There’s a variety of products and cleaning methods that can be used for disinfecting a bathroom. Some people are bleach enthusiasts, while others try to use cleaning products that are more eco-friendly.

Bleach is an excellent disinfectant, as it destroys mold, eliminates mildew and gets rid of germs. However, chlorine bleach is probably not the greatest choice when it comes to preserving a healthy living environment, as it’s a known carcinogen, capable of causing respiratory problems, burns etc. This is why oxygen bleach is a much better choice: it cleans just as well, without being toxic. 

If you prefer “green” cleaning products, you can buy one (such as borax) or concoct your own solution with all-natural ingredients.

Can you clean a bathroom with bleach?

The aforementioned bleach enthusiasts will agree: a bathroom isn’t clean enough until it’s been properly disinfected with bleach. On the other hand, bleach has many negative aspects, like causing indoor air pollution (according to the Environmental Protection Agency).

If you decide to use bleach, proceed with caution, and whatever you do: never mix it with anything that contains ammonia. Bleach combined with ammonia equals disaster, as it creates a terribly toxic and dangerous gas.

What are the steps to clean a bathroom?

You’ll make your bathroom spotless in no time by following these cleaning steps:

1. Before you begin disinfecting, clean all surfaces with soap and water first. This way you’ll ensure disinfectant to work like a charm, with no bits of dirt getting in its way.
2. Prepare a water spray bottle with 1 teaspoon of bleach added, or a disinfectant of your choice. Spray on all surfaces in the bathroom and let it air-dry.
3. When disinfecting the toilet, feel free to add 1 cup of liquid bleach to the bowl after you flush. Then all that’s left to do is scrubbing and waiting for the bleach to do its magic, before flushing the toilet.
4. You can mop the floors with the same bleach solution you used on other surfaces, and leave them to air-dry.

Don’t forget to wear household gloves to protect your hands from harsh chemicals!
