Cleaning Bathroom

Bathroom, apart from kitchen, is that room in a house which gets the dirtiest, mainly because of the nature of the work that is done inside it.

If you have any wall art, be careful while cleaning and use water cautiously.

Cleaning of vents and fans will come next. Make sure to use a gentle cleaner, which has been diluted with water. Take a clean cloth and use it to clean the outside of vents and fans, following it with a quick dry wipe.

After everything else has been cleaned, it is the time to focus your attention on the bathroom floor. Give it a thorough sweep. Thereafter, go down on your hands and knees and scrub with the help of a rag or towel. In case of stains, use a gentle cleaning solution.
