Tips for Cleaning the Bedroom

Here are some cleaning bathroom tips that are sure to make it gleam and sparkle —

 

First of all attack your shower wall and scrub it until it is free of mold. However if your tiled shower wall is really grimy you might want to fix up the grout before you do any cleaning. Repair the grout if necessary (you can get simple kits to do this at a hardware store.” Once you have touched up the grout, you can then scrub away the remaining filth using a brush and a mixture of one gallon of water to ¾ cup nonchlorine or hydrogen peroxide based bleach. ‘;’

 

To clean porcelain bathtub use a non-abrasive cleanser such as Vim.  Stay away from grainy cleansers and metal scrubbers when cleaning a fiberglass or acrylic tubs.

 

To clean tiled showers try using one of the new self-maintaining spray-on products in stores such as the one made by Lysol. Otherwise you can keep a squeegee in the bathroom and use it after a bath or shower to remove excess water from the walls. For the shower door you can use squeegee and glass vinegar or the much more ecologically correct solution of vinegar and water.

 

Cleaning the shower curtain should also be a part of your cleaning bathroom ritual. If the shower curtain is dirty you can usually just throw it in the washing machine. If the liner of the shower curtain is covered with soap scum then it can also be wiped down with hydrogen peroxide-based bleach solution or a non-chlorinated cleaner of some kind.

 

When cleaning bathroom, a toilet can be made white again using hot water or bleach or with one of the many commercial preparations put on the market for that purpose. If your toilet or showerhead is exposed to hard water you may find that ugly lime stains is a problem. To remove lime stains from your showerhead or the bowl of the toilet use a lime scale remover like CLR.

 

You can clean countertops with an abrasive cleanser. A soak in Clorox bleach can make a sink appear whiter. Use a good glass cleaner such as Windex to polish your taps and other bathroom fixtures to a fine shine. Use Windex or vinegar and water to give your bathroom mirror a streak free finish.

 

The ceiling of a bathroom is often forgotten yet it is a place where moisture often collects thus making it a breeding ground for bacteria. As part of your cleaning bathroom ritual you should always inspect your ceiling for mildew and if you find any wash it away with a non-chlorine or hydrogen peroxide-based bleach solution.

An Ultraviolet Light Dishwasher Cleaner

Dishwashers get filthy inside. They smell sour and develop all kinds of issues. Usually this is due to leaving dirty dishes in there for a few days before you turn it on so that you can save on water bills. Your sign that you have bacteria breeding in dour bacteria is usually a terrible smell.

 

You may have heard already about how UV disinfectant lamps are used to sterilize surfaces and equipment.  Studies have shown that UV-C light kills up to 99.9% of microbes. This is done without the use of harsh chemicals.

 

How necessary is it to put an ultraviolet sterilization light in your dishwasher. Well first off, studies have shown that 62% of tested home dishwashers contain mold and other micro-organizations that are very harmful to your health. If you do not kill these microbes somehow they will multiply and affect your whole dishwasher. Once you use a UV stick you will find that any unpleasant odors emitting from your appliance disappear.

 

The lamp itself is egg shaped with the top part that contains the UV light, looking like a swirling cage. The unit should be placed on a dish rack central in the dishwasher. It is about five inched high and 2 and half inches wide. It is recommended that you use it after every dishwasher load.

 

The unit does not turn on unless it is dark. This means that it will not work unless the dishwasher door is closed.  The UV light automatically turns on again as soon as the door is opened.  This is to ensure your safety. When left inside the dishwasher it automatically switches on for twelve minutes every 24 hours to thoroughly clean the inside of your dishwasher.

 

It is very important to note that this light is not waterproof. You must never, ever leave it accidentally in the dishwasher or the unit will be ruined. The unit does run on for about six to nine months on 2 mignon batteries.  There is an indicator on the unit that lets you know when the battery is running out.

 

These units are also reasonably priced. If you do accidentally leave one in your dishwasher while it is on then it only costs about $30 for a replacement.

 

This type of unit might just be the start of wonderful new developments in UV sterilization technology for the home. Imagine have a UV light installed for sterilizing your bathroom, your washing machine and the cat’s litter box.
