Five Hidden Dirt Problems in Your Bathroom (and How to Solve Them Sustainably)

Grimy Shower Curtains

Shower curtains can accumulate soap scum and mildew over time, causing unpleasant odours and an unsightly appearance.

Solution: Wash shower curtains regularly using natural detergents. For fabric curtains, place them in the washing machine with a couple of towels to help scrub away the grime. Add a cup of baking soda and a splash of vinegar to the wash cycle for extra freshness.

Mouldy Grout

The grout between tiles attracts mould in the damp bathroom environment.

Solution: Make a paste of baking soda and water. Use an old toothbrush to scrub the grout. For stubborn stains, mix hydrogen peroxide with baking soda to form a paste. Apply it to the grout. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then scrub. Rinse completely.

Soap Scum on Glass Shower Doors

Soap scum can create a cloudy film on glass shower doors, making them look dirty.

Solution: Mix equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle and spritz it on the glass. Let it sit for a few minutes, then scrub with a non-scratch sponge. Finish by drying the glass with a microfiber cloth for a streak-free shine.

Hidden Dirt Under the Toilet Rim

The underside of the toilet rim is often neglected and can harbour bacteria and grime.

Solution: Use a toilet brush with a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. For a deeper clean, sprinkle baking soda under the rim, spray with vinegar, let it sit for a few minutes, and then scrub. Flush to rinse.

Dusty Vent Covers

Bathroom vent covers collect dust and dirt, affecting air quality and ventilation efficiency.

Solution: Remove the vent covers. Soak them in warm, soapy water with mild, natural dish soap. Use a soft brush to scrub away any dirt. Dry them completely before reinstalling. Vacuum often around the vent area to prevent dust build-up.
