The bathroom is probably one of the rooms in the house that gets dirty the fastest. No wonder – after all, brushing our teeth, showering or washing our hands is part of our daily routines. In doing so, we don't just leave behind skin cells, hair or soap residues. Where water flows, a lot of limescale forms over time, which is often difficult to remove. If you clean regularly and know the right tricks, you can always keep your bathroom hygienically clean.

1. Clean faucets and sinks with vinegar

Vinegar or vinegar essence dissolves lime particularly thoroughly and in an environmentally friendly way - word should have gotten around by now. Simply mix the home remedy with a little water and clean faucets, sinks, bathtubs, showers or tiles with it. For particularly stubborn limescale residues, for example on the sink plug, apply pure or mix with baking soda to form a paste. Leave on for a few minutes, then wipe off – done.

2. Rinse aid provides shine in the shower stall

Who doesn't know it: Unsightly limescale stains form relatively quickly on shower cubicles made of glass or plastic. This can be prevented by treating your shower walls with rinse aid. The miracle cure not only ensures shiny plates and cutlery, but also keeps the bathroom clean for a long time. The effect is said to provide radiant cleanliness for up to four weeks. Here's how to do it:

  • First, thoroughly clean the shower stall with an all-purpose cleaner or a home remedy such as vinegar.
  • Then fill a small bucket or spray bottle with water and add some rinse aid.
  • Then apply the mixture to the shower walls and fittings and then wash off.

3. Remove urine scale in the toilet

Urine scale is extremely stubborn and causes unsightly discoloration in the toilet. A simple home remedy such as cola can help with brownish deposits: Mix a bottle of normal, sugary cola (0.5 liters) with two packets of baking soda.Spread the mixture in the toilet bowl and leave it on for at least an hour, preferably overnight. Then scrub with the toilet brush - the urine scale should now be a thing of the past. Other home remedies such as citric acid or denture cleaner also ensure a clean toilet overnight.

4. Clean floor tiles and tiles with home remedies

Whether you're brushing your teeth or washing your hands, a lot of dirt and dust quickly accumulates on the bathroom tiles. To ensure that everyday dirt disappears quickly and your tiles always shine beautifully, an all-purpose cleaner, glass cleaner or shampoo helps: simply add some of it to the cleaning water, wipe with a dry microfibre cloth, done.

First of all, you should clean the tiled floor from hair and dust with a broom or vacuum cleaner. Then use a little vinegar in the wiping water to give it a new shine and a hygienically clean tiled floor. However, acid-sensitive natural stone should not be cleaned with vinegar, but with soft soap.
