Dirty Talk

This one is simple and effective. I clean my bathroom by adding a small amount of bleach and dish detergent to a bucket of warm water. I sprinkle baking soda on surfaces and wipe them down with the solution in the bucket. My tip is this: I dunk the hem of the plastic shower curtain liner into the bucket before starting. The solution settles into the heam and prevents mildew. I also do the same with the plastic window curtain which is inside the tub enclosure.

Before you start scrubbing anything, run a steaming hot shower and close the bathroom door for about 5-8 minutes. It will loosen the dirt and cut your cleaning time in half.

I've heard of using rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle, I think mixed 50/50 with water, instead of shower fresh.

This isn't a tip but I need help! I have a tarnished stainless steel shower mixer and tap - I think this was caused by leaving Viakil on it for too long - does anyone know how to get rid of unsightly tarnishing? thanks

for homemade shower fresh: ½ cup laundry detergent and ½ cup vinegar mixed with three cups water. Pour into a 32 oz spray bottle and mist on daily. No need to wipe down or rinse. or 1 Cup vinegar, 1 squirt of Dawn, 1/4 Cup Jet Dry Pour all ingredients into a spray bottle. Fill the rest of the way with water. Do it slowly. Cascade can be replaced with Jet Dry

I live in the US. There is a product in the market called Shower Fresh. I spray it on my glass shower doors, tiles, entire tub/shower space, after every shower. I rarely have to really scrub my shower or tub. I wonder if there is a way to make something at home that would work as well, but save money. Any suggestions?

Purchase turtle car wax paste and coat your bathtub/shower walls and doors. You will find cleaning up easier. Do this once every two to three months and soapscum, mold and mildew will not be able to build up.

Before cleaning a bathroom (especially in homes with pets, and men who trim mustaches) I use the vacuum crevice tool attatchment to quickly vacuum up all the dry hair from floors, shower, sink etc. It's much easier than trying to clean (and catch !) all those unruly hairs once they get wet.

To keep your mirrors from fogging up during a shower..... Clean your mirrors well, then apply shaving cream (not gel) to the mirrors and wipe until you can no longer see any. Works like a charm!

Have glass shower doors! After a good cleaning use rainX (for cars) on it. It repels water leaving no spots.

I wash shower curtian and liner and hooks all at once in the washing maching with a few towels and pop it in the dryier for about 10 min. and hang it right back..It's been long enough to dry the plastic liner and it's still warm and all the wrinkles hang right out. It's complely dry in just a matter of a few hours.

Question: I Just moved into an apartment, and the shower staul is ugly filthy. This bathroom has not been clean at all in a long time so imagine grime build up, mold, lime scale, etc. I am allergic to bleach can someone help me with some alternatives that are powerful like bleach.

If you have a particularly grubby bathtub, use shaving cream! You have to use the cream not the gel, all you do is squirt some into your hand and then wipe it evenly onto the surface, leave it for an hour or overnight and then rinse, no scrubbing necessary! Also works on walls! Pencil, crayon, marker, flarn, anything :)

Clean soap scum covered shower door with an old Bounce sheet. Once used, wet it and rub over. Then go over with wet moppet and buff and dry with newspaper.

To get hard water stains and marker, pen, etc. out use the magic eraser. No gloves needed and the grime that comes off your supposedly clean bath and shower will amaze you. I also have a question. I have a mirco-swade sofa in which my son decided to pour coffe on. How do I get it cleaned without getting the softness all messed up?

I live in a hardwater area and suffered with problems with limescale especially on glass shower door, a friend of mine recommended blue toilet duck, I was desperate, I tried it and it worked!! I just put it, on rubbed it around then left it for a few minutes, rubbed it again and rinsed off, it was the only thing that worked for me.

HELP - I've spent a fortune on products to remove bad water marks/limescale from a glass shower door - suprise, suprise they haven't worked !!! Can anyone help with a miracle solution ????

help i've got black mould on the grout and sealant around shower and bath scrubbing does not get it out, can anyone help, please email, emmasurtees@hotmail.co.uk

When I got tired of trying to remove soap scum from the tub and shower I switched to using a shower gel instead of bar soap. Bar soap contains fat, shower gel doesn't. Much easier to clean and maintain.

Cleaning out the plug hole in a shower tray can be pretty gruesome with lots of slimy hair and stuff? I have found the perfect tool. Use a cheap hairbrush, the type with bristles all the way round. Push into the hole, turn it around and all the hairs blocking the plug will be pulled onto the brush. You can rinse off the brush and use it again. Takes seconds.
