Great Home Improvement Tips

Is there a way to clean your bathroom sink that will help it stay clean in spite of all of the use it gets every day? Here are a few handy hints for those whose bathroom sinks present them with constant frustration:

1. Ensure that whoever does the cleaning around the house, be it you or someone else, is the last one to go in the bathroom every day and night. The last thing you do before leaving the bathroom is grab a cloth, wipe everything down, and clean up what mess was left in the sink so everything is ready to go for the day, or the following morning.

2. Pay attention to your choice of cleaning products. Popular belief seems to be that all cleaners have the same basic formula to them. This is not true. You need to choose a cleaner that is designed for the type of sink in your bathroom. The different material you are cleaning, be it metal, porcelain or enamel, will need a specific cleansing solution for that surface. Be sure to check out the label on any cleaning product you are considering before using it on your sink. Because you can damage your sink by using an incorrect product!

3. Using a good scrub pad, make sure to scrub the sink on a weekly basis. Even if you wipe your sink down every day, you might need to scrub it out with a good scrubber. You might want to consider a microfiber scrubber, since you can toss them in the washer and use them again, they seem to do well on deep dirt, and their popularity is growing.

4. Organize your typical bathroom products so each thing has a place for it, from toothbrushes, toothpaste, to even medicine. If your products are far away from the sink, it’ll be easier to clean, and you will need to clean it less often. If your bathroom is small you might consider purchasing a small cabinet that can rest on top of your counter or that can be mounted to the wall somewhere out of the way.

5. Check the sinks faucet and water knobs, and tighten them if necessary. If you don’t do this, you could have water stains on your sink, which are a hassle to clean, and will give you a lot more frustration than any other clutter.

While it may not be exciting to clean a bathroom sink, you can take pride in the cleanliness of your home if you do so.
