Maintaining a clean house is essential, and bathroom hygiene is equally important. A neglected bathroom can quickly become a breeding ground for germs, potentially leading to health problems.
While people routinely clean bathroom floors, tiles, toilets, and sinks, other items like buckets, mugs, and stools are often overlooked. These frequently used items accumulate stubborn yellow water stains, and their colour fades over time. Using dirty buckets and mugs can be unhygienic, but a few simple cleaning methods can restore their original shine.
Three Simple Tricks To Clean Buckets and Mugs
Bathroom Cleaner
Just as you use a bathroom cleaner on other bathroom surfaces, apply it to buckets, mugs, and stools. Apply the cleaner and allow it to sit for a while before scrubbing with a scrubber. Cleaning them this way once a week will keep them looking new. This method effectively removes yellow water stains without the need for additional cleaning products.
Baking Soda and Lemon
Baking soda and lemon offer another effective method for cleaning bathroom essentials. This combination effortlessly removes water stains. Create a thick paste using baking soda and lemon juice, and apply it to the stained areas of buckets, mugs, and stools. Let it sit for a while before scrubbing with a scrubber. This method will easily clean grime and restore shine.
Acid
Some individuals use acid to clean their bathrooms. However, only mild acid should be used, as strong acids can cause permanent damage. Dilute the acid with water and apply it to stubborn stains on buckets, mugs, and other bathroom items. Allow it to sit for a while, then scrub using a brush while wearing gloves. This will leave your bathroom essentials sparkling. However, exercise caution and ensure the acid does not come into contact with your skin.
