While cleaning isn’t particularly fun, cleaning the bathroom can, at times, actually feel like torture. But did you know you could actually clean your bathroom (like, really clean it) easier and better than you ever have before? It’s true.
Take a look at eight ways to leave your bathroom sparkling and remarkably clean (so fresh and so clean, clean!) in the slideshow above.

How to Clean Everything in Your Bathroom BETTER
-
Rusty shower head?
Fill up a plastic bag with vinegar, wrap it around your shower head (so it’s submerged in the vinegar), and secure it with a hair tie or rubber band. Leave it for a night, and in the a.m. give it a scrub. Your shower head will be beautiful and spraying like brand new. You’re welcome.
-
Soap scum nightmare?
Use dryer sheets to wipe down shower doors and get rid of all that gross soap scum. GOODBYE FOREVER.
-
Grimy tub?
Cut a grapefruit in half and dip in salt, then scrub away! The grapefruit’s rind will provide grip, the salt works as a scrub, and the grapefruit’s acid will cut through the grime. And when you’re done? Just throw it all away. (Bonus: your tub now smells amazing.)
-
Lime stains?
A pumice stone can be used against lime stains (ahem, toilet bowls) to get them back to their original luster.
-
Mirror gunk?
Use brewed black tea to clean your mirror (just make sure to let it cool first!). The tannic acid cuts through the gunk.
-
Lackluster fixtures?
Spray your chrome fixtures—a.k.a. faucets and knobs—with shaving cream and wipe down. They’ll be gleaming!
-
Gross grout?
Mix equal parts bleach or vinegar and water in a spray bottle and spray all over your tiles and grout. Let dry (all the way), then spray down with water.
-
Really gross grout?
If you just don’t have enough elbow grease to get your tiles and grout clean, this will be your saving grace. Fit a circular scrubbing brush to your power drill, then you know, turn it on. BOOM.
