How To Deep Clean Your Bathroom

Share this:

The average person uses the restroom at least six times every day so needless to say, your bathroom is a breeding ground for faeces-borne germs and bacteria. This means you need to consider not just quick but deep bathroom cleaning regularly.

Deep Cleaning your shower and toilet

  • Soap scum accumulates over time. You may not notice it at first, but your once-shiny shower has become dull, and your shower screen has lost its lustre. Some commercial products include hazardous petrochemicals, so you might want to consider using natural cleaning agents and products. A simple mixture of white vinegar and baking soda is an easy and environmentally-responsible shower cleaner and toilet bowl cleaner solution to deep clean your shower screen, tiles and toilet.
  • To make a glass cleaner for the shower, you can form a thick paste by combining distilled white vinegar and baking soda. You can use this paste to clean your glass shower door. Wait about an hour before wiping it away with a microfiber cloth or washing the surface. To remove dust and filth from the toilet, wipe it down with a damp sponge.

  • To remove dust and filth from the toilet, wipe it down with a damp sponge. This solution can also be used to unclog the showerhead. Fill a plastic bag halfway with vinegar and tie it around the showerhead so that the holes are completely submerged in the liquid. Then set it aside for the night. Remove the plastic bag the next morning and thoroughly rinse the showerhead with water.

Now, the bathtub

  • If the tub you’re cleaning is really filthy, you may need to use bleach aside from your regular bathtub cleaner to boost your cleaning efforts. When dealing with bleach, remember to wear a face mask or respirator, as well as safety glasses and gloves. Scrub the tub from top to bottom with a scrub brush after the gel has had a chance to penetrate into the mildew.

  • Mildew are challenging to get rid of, but here’s a tip: use a gel toilet bowl cleaner with bleach. These products’ gels stick to it and break it down.

  • All you have to do now is fill the bathtub with hot water and wait 4 to 5 minutes before draining it. Then wipe off the entire surface with your bathroom cleanser, wait 15 to 20 minutes, and then wash it away. Hard-water stains can also be removed with vinegar.

Don’t forget the bathroom sink

  • Sinks made of natural stone require relatively minimal maintenance. After each usage, give the sink a brief rinse to ensure that no chemicals are left on the sink that could etch into the stone, and wipe it down with a clean towel. It’s recommended to use a very mild soap, rinse with warm water, and dry with a soft cloth when deep cleaning your stone bathroom sink. Natural bathroom cleansers containing citrus oils should be avoided because they can damage the stone.

finish strong with bathroom walls, celling, and tiles

  • You’re almost done, but make sure you wipe down any untiled walls and the ceiling before calling it a day. A dry microfibre mop can be an effective way to remove dust and cobwebs. If this is the case, carefully clean the damaged areas and consider repainting with a resistant paint to make your life easier in the future.

  • To mop the floor, combine a cup of vinegar and a few drops of eucalyptus oil in a pail of hot water. To properly dry out the space, open any windows and turn on the exhaust fan for an hour or more. Do not overlook the difficult corners and the area behind the toilet, wash basin, tub, and shower. Clean these difficult-to-reach places using a detergent-water solution and soak for a few minutes. Scrubbing it with a brush can quickly remove the accumulated filth. Finally, use clean water to rinse the detergent out of the scrubbed areas.

When deep cleaning your bathroom, remember to organise the cabinet and set the counter. Empty and expired toiletry bottles should be discarded. Wipe the bottles clean to remove any dust or spills. Organise your toiletries on the counter or in a holder. Replace the clean and dry towels, bath mat, and hand towels, and walk away satisfied with your bathroom cleaning work.

There are many ways you can renovate your bathroom but if you’re looking for a quick and budget-friendly fix, regrouting tiles is the key.

The DiamoSmart® System, copies of which are now used throughout the industry, was pioneered by our founder, Mark Studdert. Before its invention, Mark noticed that the old method of regrouting showers caused small but visible chips to the edges of tiles and diminished the lustre of the tiles’ edge. He designed a small diamond-tipped grouter that would eliminate these issues when regrouting bathroom tiles. Our team offers a Diamond Re-Grout Service where we strip off existing grout and replace it with a premium Epoxy grout, which is more resistant to stains, cracks, harsh weather conditions, chemicals, and climate changes than traditional grout. This makes it suitable for areas with high traffic and since it’s a waterproofing grout, it improves not only the bathroom’s aesthetics but also its functionality.

FAQ’s

The purpose of the grout is to emanate an unblemished tile appearance, while bonding the wall junctions and the floor and wall junctions – preventing wall and floor separation.

Grout mixtures must be selected carefully to make sure that dirt and other outside elements like mould and mildew will not seep into the tiles to avoid discoloration and possible leaks.

There are various ways in which installation can cause cracked grout in shower:

* If mixed with too much water concentration or additives

* If too little adhesive is used in tiles installation

* Cement-based grout can only handle the pressure for so long if a tile pulls away from the wall after the adhesive dries

Fact: Grouting is the weakest link in a tile installation.

Cracked grout in shower mainly happens due to movement between two surfaces with homes inevitably moving in tiny increments because of humidity, foundation settling, and temperature.

Even old or damaged grout can make the most beautiful looking tiles ugly and not to mention, it can cause structural damage to your home. Thus, immediate regrouting shower service is needed.

Regrouting showers and tiles is a quick and budget-friendly fix if mould has already grown into some parts of your bathroom. We highly recommend using epoxy over cement-based when regrouting tiles because it’s stronger, more durable, and only requires light maintenance.

At the first sign of grout damage, you must regrout shower tiles immediately. The longer showers are left with failing grout, the higher the chance that water damage is occurring to the wall behind your tile. The area of damage does not have to incur direct water spray during baths or showers to allow water seepage. Water that sits on the surface of tiles from shower spray or heavy steam will inevitably run behind the broken areas of your grout

Before the invention of the DiamoSmart® System, the old methods of tile regrouting caused small but visible chips to the edges of tiles and diminished the lustre of the edge of the tiles. The DiamoSmart® System eliminated this issue. Our exclusive procedure for regrouting showers is listed below:

* Remove any mouldy or deteriorated sealants such as silicon

* Strip the existing grout out of the walls * Strip out any damaged grout from the floor area

* Strip out grout from around the drain

* Prepare floor and wall junctions using our DiamoSmart® system. This system uses a diamond-tipped blade for regrouting bathroom tiles, removing the sheen from the tile edge creating a small gully in wall and floor junctions.

* Inject our SealRight sealant into the gully so it bonds the wall junctions and the floor and wall junctions – preventing wall and floor separation.

* Regrout bathroom walls and floor using commercial grade mould retardant grout

* Apply silicon to the internal areas of the shower screen

* Coat the internal shower area with our hydro barrier sealant creating an invisible glove to prevent water penetration. This sealant is painted or sprayed on the wall and floor tiles, waterproofing grout surface and beneath it. This soaks in and seals anything that is porous, such as grout lines and hairline cracks.

 

When regrouting showers and tiles, the type of grout matters and you should know that Epoxy grout is the most superior of all. Here’s why.

Unlike traditional grouts, Epoxy grout is made of two-part epoxy resins which are mixed with filler powder.

What does that mean?

Its composition makes it:

* Waterproof
* Nearly 100% resistant to stains
* Highly resistant to chemicals and physical pressure
* Doesn’t need sealing
* Low maintenance

These characteristics make Epoxy grout the best for regrouting shower and bathroom tiles. Its stain, crack and chemical-resistant properties make it suitable for areas with high traffic whilst its resistance to climate changes make it ideal for locations with harsh weather conditions, excessive amounts of humidity or severe cold. What’s even more interesting is that Epoxy grout’s colour remains constant throughout. The pigment of traditional grout can diminish easily during cleaning.

Moisture and direct water contact contribute to grout deterioration over time, and eventually, the tiles will crack. This is why you should consider regrouting shower tiles every six months. This is a quick and budget-friendly fix that can restore your bathroom’s previous glow immediately.

You should know that you need to call in a professional to do the tile regrouting for you. Even if you possess excellent handyman skills, small mistakes can lead to extensive damage to your grout and tiles. The cost to regrout shower is expensive and if the grout is not installed correctly, moisture can seep into small holes, causing mould and mildew growth, and may cause you to call for a regrout service earlier than expected.

Cement-based grout is actually the weakest link in tile installation because of its many drawbacks with the major being its porous nature. Its pores allow dirt and other outside elements to find their way into the grout, causing staining and allowing mould and grime to embed themselves into the grout, which requires an urgent regrouting shower service.

The best way to prevent grout from cracking is by using Epoxy grout which is strong, durable and requires light maintenance. Whilst it costs higher than cement-based grout, it lasts much longer, negating the cost to regrout shower.
