Almost everyone knows that one of the most exciting moments when first moving into a new home is seeing how clean everything is. A competent landlord will see to it that each room of the home— from the kitchen to the bathrooms, have been thoroughly cleaned before move-in day. Nonetheless, it can be understandable when, after time and everyday use, even bathrooms that are well maintained from week to week will require a good deep cleaning. To keep your rental home’s bathrooms sanitary and in good condition, you ought to complete some deep cleaning tasks every few months to make sure that your bathrooms are kept sparkling clean.
One of the spaces that will need deep cleaning the most is your tub, shower, and showerhead. Separately, these will have to be deep cleaned regularly to remove residue buildup and water spots. One of the most ingenious ways to clean any bathroom surface is by mixing a few drops of white vinegar with a cup of baking soda to make a paste. Spread the mixture over the tub or shower door and let sit for an hour, then wipe and rinse clean. For shower walls, try dabbing them with an all-purpose cleaner and then run the hot water until the shower fills with steam. Close the shower door and let the cleaner sit for about twenty minutes, then wipe down with a wet sponge or cloth.
Vinegar is best on sinks and showerheads, too. To clean a sink with vinegar, simply pour out a small amount, scrub, and flush with hot water. To clean a showerhead with white vinegar, fill a bag with it and then place the bag over the showerhead so that the entire fixture is soaking in the vinegar. Secure with a rubber band or twist-tie and let sit overnight. The next morning, remove the bag and wipe the showerhead clean.
One more significant section of the bathroom that you should deep clean on a regular basis is the toilet. Although there are many various toilet cleaners on the market, the recommended way to really deep clean a toilet is by using baking soda. Simply pour a cup of baking soda into the toilet bowl and let sit for about five minutes. Brush thoroughly with a toilet brush and then flush to rinse.
Lastly, in the event that your Sparks rental home’s bathroom has tile, you will have to deep clean the grout regularly to avoid bacteria growth. Bleach and a grout brush are the best ways to lighten discolored grout lines and kill anything trying to grow between your tile. To really keep grout watertight, reseal it every six months or so to keep moisture and bacteria out. Bleach can also be applied to it to address any mold growing in windowsills or other areas. Simply mix one part bleach to two parts water and scrub any mold spots with a sponge.
