What is your secret to a mess free kitchen?

Bathroom Cleaning

No matter what size your family is, the bathroom is always bound to be busy. Dust, soap scum, and even mould can quickly accumulate if surfaces aren’t cleaned regularly.

To manage bathroom cleaning, it helps to do small, regular cleans by wiping down all surfaces using a spray-on cleaner or VIVA Shower Fast Wipes . These wipes are specially designed to remove soap scum from shower screens, tiles and taps quickly and easily. You can then give your mirrors a quick clean with VIVA Glass and Mirror Wipes to leave them sparkling and streak-free.

For more thorough bathroom cleaning, give everything a good scrub down with bicarb and vinegar in hot water – make sure you do the bath, shower, basin, toilet and floor. Use clove oil or white vinegar to clean away mould and use an old toothbrush to get to any hard-to-reach corners. If your taps are looking dirty, clean them using toothpaste to leave them nice and shiny.

Top tips for a clean bathroom
