As the second wave of COVID19 takes over, the CDC recommends us to clean and disinfect our homes and facilities—as religiously as possible. This also involves paying special attention to the washrooms.
Here are some tips on washroom cleanliness:
Fragrance
No one likes using a bad-smelling toilet. Toilets aren’t exactly supposed to smell like flowers, but the right kind of cleaning supplies can help you lighten up the atmosphere a bit. To keep it pleasant:
- Make sure the toilet flushes well and other drainage fixtures are in optimal condition.
- Get rid of any corroded pipes.
- Invest in cleaning solutions that will eliminate the unpleasant smell at its source rather than just covering it.
Use an extracting fan.
Much of washroom uncleanliness doesn’t always come from the dirt and debris. It could also surface as a result of mold and mildew growth. You can get rid of dangerous molds just by reducing excess steam and humidity. An extractor fan could help you eliminate steam that results from hot baths and showers. It also keeps excess dust at bay. Always keep the washroom well-ventilated.
Ground surface
The ground surface of a washroom is a direct measure of its neatness and cleanliness. You’d be surprised to know that the grout lines in your washroom floor tiles can be home to a huge number of microscopic organisms. These organisms also grow in any inconspicuous holes in the flooring. On the other hand, if the ground surface is too smooth, it can be more susceptible to slip perils, putting the homeowners at risk. Make sure the ground surface is slip-resistant and sterile. Use correct cleaning supplies to ensure this.
Disinfect
Just cleaning the ground surface isn’t enough. We recommend using disinfectants and sanitization supplies to get rid of any germ infestation. This will also keep you and your family safe from any potential risk of COVID19 infection. You could also use disinfectants to wipe the faucet handles and doorknobs and clean the vanity area if multiple individuals share the washroom. Disinfection always comes after routine cleaning.
