8 Ways to Make Cleaning the Bathroom More Tolerable

5. Bathtubs

Use a grapefruit dipped in sea salt for cleaning bathtubs. The fruit contains the same citric acid as a lemon but provides a larger scrubbing surface. The salt helps to power through deposits and cut your cleaning time.

6. Shower Curtains

The damp environment of a bathroom provides a good place for mildew to grow. Clean it from shower curtains by tossing them in the washing machine. Set the machine for a normal wash cycle and your shower curtain should be mildew-free and ready to hang when the machine stops.

7. Toilet Brush Holder

Keep your toilet brush clean and smelling fresh by pouring pine cleaner into the holder after use. When it is time to clean the toilet, pour the cleaner from the holder into the toilet and scrub. Rinse the brush, return it to the holder and add fresh pine cleaner.

8. Mirrors

Clean bathroom mirrors and glass using a strong black tea. This all-natural cleaner eliminates the ammonia smell of most commercial glass cleaners.

Bonus: Keep Your Bathroom Smelling Great With Citrus Soap
