Spring’s arrival means that you can enjoy pleasant weather. More sunshine and warmer temperatures can renew your energy, which encourages many people to spring clean their homes. Spring cleaning can help you feel more comfortable at home and even has health perks by getting rid of all the junk and dust hanging around.
Your bathroom requires regular cleaning of toilets, tubs, and showers. But you can give this room a more thorough cleansing this spring by paying close attention to the other fixtures and hardware in this space. Cabinet Discounters, a home design and wholesale company serving customers in Maryland and Virginia, lists ways to freshen up your bathroom.
Spring Cleaning Essentials for a Fresh Bathroom
Reorganize Your Cabinets
Bathrooms are one of the most utilized rooms in a house, and you may find yourself storing a wide variety of items in your cabinets. This may mean that you have expired ointments or broken hygienic tools in your possession that you can throw away.
You should remove all items from your cabinets and drawers and toss whatever items you no longer need. This can free up a great deal of space that will allow you easier access to your belongings.
This can also prove a useful opportunity to evaluate the storage capabilities in your bathroom. If you need more space, you may want to consider installing new cabinets.
Deep Clean Your Countertops
To keep the countertops in your bathroom looking their best, you should wipe them down with a soft cloth or sponge every day. Water droplets or spillage from makeup, toothpaste, or other products could damage the counter surface if it remains.
Deep cleaning your counters can ensure that their structure will last longer and will remove lingering germs or other substances. You can spray your counters with a cleaning solution and wipe them with a cloth. However, you should consider the material of your countertops and use the appropriate cleaning method for them to avoid accidentally harming the surface.
Mop Your Floors
Your bathroom floors can become dirty with its frequent usage, so you should spend time getting this part of the room into shape during your spring cleaning process. Bath mats and rugs should be laundered or otherwise cleaned.
Then you can vacuum or sweep your floors to remove larger accumulated particles, especially in corners and under your sink. Finally, you should mop the floors if they are made of tile or linoleum to get rid of scuffs, stains, and more. Taking care of your flooring can make it resist structural damage, allowing it to last longer.
Give Your Grout and Caulking a Fresh Look
Over time, the grout between tiles and the caulk around your tub or sink can get dirty or grow mildew. Spring is a great time to fix these problem spots. For stained grout, try scrubbing it with a mix of baking soda and water using an old toothbrush.
If that doesn’t work, a store-bought grout cleaner can help. Replacing old caulk not only makes your bathroom look cleaner but also helps prevent water damage. These quick fixes can make your bathroom look new again without a complete remodel.
Swap Out Old Fixtures for a Quick Upgrade
While spring cleaning, take a look at your bathroom fixtures. Old faucets, showerheads, and cabinet handles can make even a clean bathroom look outdated. Replacing them is an easy way to give your space a fresh look.
Choose water-saving faucets and showerheads that still give good pressure. New finishes like matte black or brushed gold can add style. You might also try handy upgrades like a touch-free faucet or a rainfall showerhead for a more modern feel.
Brighten Up with Better Lighting and Airflow
Good lighting and ventilation keep your bathroom clean and fresh. This spring, clean your light fixtures and switch to bright LED bulbs for better light. If your mirror area is too dark, add wall lights on the sides.
For better airflow, make sure your bathroom fan works well to stop moisture and mold. Clean the fan cover and check if it’s strong enough for your bathroom size. These small changes will make your space brighter, healthier, and easier to keep clean.
