Introduction:
A clean bathroom not only creates a healthier environment but also boosts your home’s overall appeal. Whether you’re hosting guests or just need a quick refresh, achieving a shiny, disinfected bathroom can be easier than you think. In this article, we’ll share a simple yet effective recipe to tackle grime, germs, and stubborn stains in no time—leaving your bathroom sparkling clean and disinfected.
Ingredients:
1 cup of white vinegar
1 cup of water
10 drops of tea tree oil (for disinfecting properties)
10 drops of lavender or lemon essential oil (for a fresh scent)
1 tablespoon of baking soda
1 empty spray bottle
Directions:
Mix the solution: In a bowl or large measuring cup, combine the white vinegar and water. Stir in the baking soda slowly—it will bubble, so be careful. This will help lift dirt and grime more effectively. Once the fizzing stops, add the essential oils.
Transfer to the bottle: Pour the mixture into the spray bottle using a funnel. Seal tightly and shake the bottle to mix everything evenly.
Spray surfaces: Lightly mist the solution onto your bathroom surfaces, including countertops, sink, faucet, mirror, and even the toilet. Focus on areas that get greasy or grimy.
Let it sit: Allow the solution to sit for 2-3 minutes. The vinegar helps break down soap scum, while the baking soda gently scrubs away dirt.
Wipe down: Use a microfiber cloth or sponge to wipe down surfaces. For mirrors, a clean, dry cloth or paper towel works best for streak-free results.
Disinfect the toilet: For the toilet bowl, spray the solution inside and around the rim. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then scrub with a toilet brush. Flush to rinse.
Finish with a shine: For an extra shine, wipe down all surfaces with a dry microfiber cloth.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Storage: Keep your bathroom cleaning solution in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. The bottle should be sealed tightly to preserve the effectiveness of the essential oils.
Use the solution frequently: This recipe is safe for regular use, making it a quick solution to freshen up your bathroom between deep cleans. You can also use it on a variety of surfaces, including countertops, faucets, mirrors, and tiles.
