Deep Cleaning Your Live Oak Rental Home’s Bathrooms

Cleaning Supplies as the Focal Point of a Bathroom in a Live Oak Rental HomeOne of the outstanding attributes of transferring into a new home is how clean everything is. A dependable landlord will make sure that every room of the house, from the kitchen to the bathrooms, has been thoroughly cleaned before move-in day. But after a while and with regular use, even bathrooms that are kept in order from week to week will need a good deep cleaning. To keep your rental home’s bathrooms sanitary and in good condition, you should do some deep cleaning tasks every few months to establish that your bathrooms are kept sparkling clean.

Conceivably, one of the spots that will require deep cleaning the most is your tub, shower, and showerhead. Each of these must be deep cleaned regularly to remove residue buildup and water spots. One of the breeziest procedures to sanitize any bathroom surface is by mixing a few drops of white vinegar with a cup of baking soda to make a paste. Spread the mixture over the tub or shower door and let sit for an hour, then wipe and rinse clean. For shower walls, try applying them with an all-purpose cleaner and then pouring the hot water until the shower fills with steam. Close the shower door and let the cleaner sit for about twenty minutes, then wipe down with a wet sponge or cloth.

Vinegar comes off effectively on sinks and showerheads as well. To clean a sink with vinegar, simply pour out a small amount, scrub, and flush with hot water. To clean a showerhead with white vinegar, fill a bag with it and then place the bag over the showerhead so that the entire fixture is soaking in the vinegar. Secure with a rubber band or twist-tie and let sit overnight. The next morning, remove the bag and wipe the showerhead clean.

Another part of the bathroom that you should deep clean in consistent fashion is the toilet. While there are several varied toilet cleaners on the market, the most preferred technique to truly deep clean a toilet is by using baking soda. Just pour a cup of baking soda into the toilet bowl and let sit for about five minutes. Brush thoroughly with a toilet brush and then flush to rinse.

In summary, if your Live Oak rental home’s bathroom has tile, you will have to deep clean the grout regularly to avoid bacterial growth. Bleach and a grout brush are the best methods to lighten discolored grout lines and kill anything trying to grow between your tile. To surely keep grout watertight, reseal it every six months or so to keep moisture and bacteria out. Bleach can also be used to deal with any mold growing in windowsills or other areas. Simply mix one part bleach to two parts water and scrub any mold spots with a sponge.
