My aunt taught me this trick to clean my bathroom in just 2 minutes with zero effort. Here’s how to do it.
The bathroom gets used a lot. It looks easy to clean—just flush and done, right? Wrong! Stuff like soap scum, hair, or water stains are hard to get rid of and take forever to scrub.
Want cleaning to be easy? My aunt, who’s awesome at keeping things clean, shared these eight simple tricks that save time and fix common bathroom messes.
1. Keep Hair Off Your Brush
Picking hair out of your hairbrush is annoying and slow. Try this: wrap a piece of mesh (like from an old screen) around the brush’s bristles. Hair gets stuck? Just pull off the mesh and toss it—no more picking!
2. Pick Up Floor Hair
Hair on the bathroom floor after a shower or brushing is a pain. A broom misses tiny bits. On a dry floor, use a lint roller (like for clothes) to grab all the hair fast. It’s better than a vacuum.
If the floor’s wet, use a rubber squeegee to push hair into a pile, then wipe it with a paper towel or cloth.
3. Stop Mirror Fog
Hot showers make your bathroom mirror foggy, so you can’t see. Here’s a fix: rub a bar of soap on the mirror in circles, then wipe it with a paper towel. This keeps the mirror clear for about a week. Just don’t splash water on it.
4. Clean Water Stains on Glass
Shower glass doors get cloudy from water stains. They look bad and are hard to clean. Mix white vinegar with a bit of dish soap, dip a soft sponge or cloth in it, and scrub the glass. Wait 20 minutes, then wipe it dry. It’ll shine!
5. Fix a Clogged Showerhead
If your showerhead’s water is weak, it’s probably gunked up. Take it off and soak it in warm water mixed with white vinegar for 30 minutes. Then, use an old toothbrush or a pin to clean the holes. The water will flow strong again, and it stops germs.
6. Get Rid of Moldy Sealant
The sealant around your sink or toilet gets moldy and looks gross. Scrubbing doesn’t always work. Soak a paper towel with bleach, press it on the mold, and leave it for a day. The mold disappears—no scrubbing needed. Wear gloves to keep your hands safe!
7. Tidy Up Cleaning Stuff
Mops, brushes, or spray bottles lying around make your bathroom messy. Stick hooks or a small shelf on the wall. Hang mops and brushes behind the door, or put a shelf under the sink for cleaners. Extra plastic bins? Hang them up for more space.
8. Store Soap Better
Soap dishes hold water, so your soap gets soft and wastes away. Put your soap in a small mesh bag (like for fruit), tie it, and hang it on a hook. It dries fast, lasts longer, and makes more bubbles. Your bathroom will smell nice too!
Conclusion
My aunt’s tricks make bathroom cleaning fast and easy. Try them, and your bathroom will look great with almost no work!
