What Your Shower Routine Says About Your Personality

Share this:

Ever pondered what your shower routine might be revealing about your personality? It’s more insightful than you’d think! Let’s turn the tap on this intriguing topic, shall we?

Rise and Shine with the Morning Shower Brigade

First up, let’s cast a spotlight on the Morning Shower Brigade. According to a 2019 research commissioned by Brighter, Australians have overwhelmingly voted that 7-8 am is the country’s most favoured ‘hour of shower.’ Are you part of the 20% of Australians who rely on a piping hot shower to kick-start your day? If so, you’re likely the type that thrives on routine and structure. There’s a sense of order and discipline that governs your life. Morning showers are a symbolic commencement of your day, washing away the remnants of sleep and preparing you for the challenges ahead.

The early birds among us typically view the world as a landscape of opportunities waiting to be discovered. If you belong to this brigade, chances are you’re the type that seizes the day, the individual who arrives early at the office with a steaming cuppa, ready to conquer the world. It’s the proactive, go-getter attitude that makes you stand out.

Unwind with the Night Owls

On the flip side, a 2020 survey by Each Night revealed that 34% of people prefer their showers under the cloak of night. Are you part of this tribe? Then you’re likely introspective and reflective. Evening shower enthusiasts typically use this time to mentally rewind through their day, organise thoughts, and wash away any stress.

This demographic often comprises the creative thinkers, the writers, the artists, the dreamers who find peace in the tranquillity of the night. You probably find yourself brainstorming your best ideas with the rhythm of the water droplets in the background. The Night Owls see their shower routine as an integral part of their self-care regimen, a soothing ritual to end the day on a calm note.

The Cleanliness Connoisseurs: Double-Dippers

Double-Dippers, those who shower twice a day, typically place a high value on cleanliness, health, and personal appearance. They’re often perfectionists, setting high standards for themselves, and constantly pushing boundaries.

These are the folks who find a certain level of zen in the ritual of a shower care routine. They need the invigorating boost a morning shower offers and the calming effect of a night rinse. By doubling down on their shower routine, they believe they’re equipping themselves to face the world in the morning, and later, wash away the day’s troubles, heading to bed feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

The Efficiency Experts: Speedy Gonzales

On to the ‘Speedy Gonzales’ of shower routines. If you’re the type who jets in and out of the shower in less than 5 minutes, you’re part of the group that are typically pragmatic and highly efficient. To them, a full shower routine is a practical task, one of the many daily chores to complete with speed and efficiency.

But don’t mistake their brevity for indifference. Speedy Gonzales folks are often highly strategic and task-oriented. They value their time immensely and might believe in the philosophy of ‘work hard, play hard.’ They’re likely to have their day planned down to the minute and follow their schedule meticulously, all the while being prepared to adapt swiftly to any sudden changes.

The Meditative Minds: Leisurely Loungers

Next, meet the ‘Leisurely Loungers,’ who luxuriate in a shower for 15 minutes or more. This group often consists of daydreamers and deep thinkers. To them, the shower is a sanctuary, a place where their thoughts can roam freely without judgement or interruption.

The Leisurely Loungers are often imaginative individuals who see their shower time as a daily opportunity to disconnect from the world outside. Whether they’re pondering over the mysteries of the universe or rehearsing for a fictitious Grammy acceptance speech, they savour these moments of solitude. It’s their own way of embracing mindfulness and exploring their inner thoughts.

The Adventurers vs Comfort-Seekers: Temperature Tellers

Lastly, we have the ‘Temperature Tellers,’ divided between those who seek solace in warm showers and those who dare the chill of cold showers. The former group seeks comfort and relaxation, whereas the latter embodies resilience and adventure.

Warm shower enthusiasts likely enjoy life’s simple comforts, favouring relaxation and self-care routines. On the other hand, the cold shower daredevils are often bold individuals who seek challenging experiences. They’re not afraid to step out of their comfort zones and thrive on the exhilaration and alertness that a cold shower brings.

Regardless of your shower routine, it’s essential to ensure you have a quality shower to step into each day. So, here’s a toast to all the unique shower personalities out there. Each one of you is a reason to celebrate – shower style!

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.
