Since you rely on your bathroom to keep your body clean, it's fair to say that it should be the cleanest room in your house, don’t you agree? Being exposed to water and moisture can be a nest for mold growth. With the recent pandemic as well, we have to take extra time to disinfect and sanitize our bathrooms.

A professional sanitizing service can help you thoroughly clean your bathroom. However, you may also need to look into cleaning your bathroom yourself, so we’ve prepared a couple of tips on how to do it. Let’s take a look at how to disinfect and sanitize your bathroom.

Disinfect Toilets

Your toilet and toilet seat may contain many germs as this is the place where we drop all our body waste. So if there’s a place that needs to always be clean, this is it. You have to keep your family safe.

Disinfecting, should only take several minutes. You will need a toilet bowl cleaning liquid and a toilet brush. First, you need to apply the product and let it sit for several minutes. Letting it do its job. Then, you scrub the inside of the toilet bowl using the toilet brush.

When it ...
... comes to cleaning the toilet seat and the lid, be careful choosing the product since some can make the plastic parts go yellow.

Disinfect Sinks

Not only is your bathroom sink one of the first places to show gunk and grime. It can also have hair strands and grime buildup if not cleaned regularly. This can harbor tons of germs if left uncared for.

So, how do you disinfect your sink? Prepare a cleaning solution beforehand. Using a cloth or sponge, dip in the cleaning solution and scrub your sink including the faucet. This will kill possible bacteria on the surfaces. After a couple of minutes, rinse the solution thoroughly with water. Wipe dry.

Disinfect Tub

There's no room for mildew and mold — especially in the places you rely on for clean hygiene. Your tub can be a place where mold can thrive since it’s always wet and moist.

How do you disinfect your tub? Spray your tub with an all-purpose bathroom cleaning solution. Choose one that’s safe for you and your family. If there is tough grime and stains, you can use a stronger solution, as long as you wear a protective mask to avoid inhaling dangerous vapors.

Disinfect Bathroom Floor

Disinfecting your bathroom floor is extremely important if you have children or family members with a suppressed immune system in your household.

Using your mop, submerge it into the bucket of cleaning solution, squeeze out excess water, then clean the bathroom floor. Once dry, replace the trashcan and your freshly laundered rugs as well.
