Top-Down Bathroom Cleaning the Natural Way
Ever feel like you’re spending a fortune on cleaning supplies? Skip the hassle, and declutter your cleaning supply inventory by going green. After your refinishing project is complete, you’ll need just a few key ingredients to keep it looking like new!
Windows and Glass
For a streak-free shine, clean your windows with lemon juice and water. Mix 4 tablespoons lemon juice with 1/2 gallon of water and wipe clean with newspaper.
Sinks and Showers
Sprinkle baking soda onto the surface of your tub and sinks. Using a spray bottle, spritz vinegar on baking soda and allow the mixture to bubble. Scrub into grout and stains, and rinse. While cleaning the basins, soak shower heads in ½ cup of vinegar and one quart of water for 15 minutes or more to remove buildup.
Fixtures
Treat lime-coated surfaces with a vinegar and salt paste. Make a paste with vinegar and salt to rub on fixtures throughout the bathroom. Rinse thoroughly for lime-free fixtures.
Floors
Mix 1 cup of vinegar with 1-gallon warm water in a bucket. Use this mixture to mop ceramic tile, linoleum, vinyl, or wood flooring. No rinsing required for shiny floors free of grease and grime.
Drains
Unclog your drains with the 1-part baking soda to 2-parts vinegar. Pour ½ cup baking soda down the drain followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Once bubbling has stopped, flush the drain with hot water for 5 minutes. Finish by running cold water for 30 seconds.
Start your home improvement off right with eco-friendly and low odor refinishing surfaces in your bathroom and kitchen.
