Spotless and shiny bathroom: 4 foolproof tricks with white vinegar

 

The bathroom is one of the areas of the house where we usually take the longest to clean, especially if limescale, mold and hardened soap have taken over some surfaces. If you can’t get rid of these types of stains with classic industrial cleaners and want to avoid using bleach, try applying one of the following tricks with white  vinegar.

You have surely noticed that the bathroom gets dirty more easily, due to the large amounts of germs and bacteria that accumulate every day. Daily soap use and abundant humidity can also cause stains, even mold, to appear, giving the bathroom a scruffy appearance.

 

Gut bacteria are microorganisms that can jump onto any bathroom surface, from tiles to doors, from handles to faucets, from toothbrushes to towels. But it is the toilet that accumulates the greatest quantity, and for this reason it should be cleaned daily.

White vinegar to clean the toilet

If you want to get rid of brown and limescale stains from the toilet and make sure you get rid of all bacteria, just spray a little white vinegar over its entire surface.

Leave it on for 20-30 minutes, then scrub well with a toothbrush or sponge and rinse. Finally, flush the toilet. In addition to being disinfectant, white vinegar is also very powerful against brown stains.

Clean tiles with white vinegar

Over time, bathroom tiles tend to become dull, due to the accumulation of soap and fungal residues. Restoring their original brilliance is as simple as it is cheap: white vinegar is enough.

Mix 250 ml of white vinegar with 150 ml of water and pour into a spray bottle. Spray the solution over the entire surface of the tiles, and after 15 minutes, rub well with a sponge.

Finally, rinse with plenty of water and dry with a clean cloth if possible.

Shower glass is also prone to the build-up of soap and mould residues, as well as limescale stains in the water.

To remove all these stains and make the glass shine, mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with 2 tablespoons of white vinegar and 250 ml of water.

Pour all the ingredients into a bottle equipped with a spray diffuser and, after 15 minutes, rub with a sponge. Rinse and dry with a clean cloth.

Disinfect and clean the tap with white vinegar

Faucets and sinks are prone to the accumulation of germs and bacteria, some invisible and others present in the form of stains.

Pour a tablespoon of baking soda onto a sponge and rub well on the faucet and all over the sink. You’ll notice that much of the dirt comes off.

Rinse the sink and tap, then mix 70 ml of white vinegar with the juice of one lemon, and use this solution to clean all surfaces again, this time using paper towels. Finally, rinse with plenty of water and dry well.
