The bathroom is a breeding ground for mold, fungus, grime, odors, and many other hidden germs. What we smell when entering the bathroom is usually a good indicator of one or problems happening below the naked eye. To get to the root of the problem, Green Apple Cleaning will show you how to keep your bathroom fresh with these fresh bathroom solutions.
Whether you have short hair or long hair, it’s prone to get caught in the traps of your drains. Not only does this prevent proper drainage, but it also makes a nest for other items such as soap residue, skin tissues, and more. All this together makes a disgusting swell of odors. To eliminate this problem, use a hair catcher in the drain of your sink and bathtub to keep the drains clean. If you have a pop-up drain, try this hair catcher.
Moisture and heat are an evil combination for enclosed rooms. Without a place for excess moisture to escape, you’ll end up with mold growing in dark, out-of-sight places—creating unnecessary odors. Whether you are taking a shower, a bath, or shaving with hot water use the exhaust fan. Also, make sure you keep it free from dust so the air moves freely. Windows also work well to ventilate excess moisture, heat, and odors.
Often found in basements, odor and moisture absorbers are ideal for reducing allergens, eliminating odors and absorbing moisture in small, enclosed spaces. By placing one of these absorbers in the bathroom, you’ll be able to maintain a fresh environment. Arm & Hammer Moisture Absorber is a great product to place at the base of your toilet.
Often times eliminating an odor requires it to be neutralized at its source. There are many different types of odor neutralizing products. One such product comes in the form of a cleanser. The XO Plus Odor Neutralizer Cleanser is non-toxic and eco-friendly. It consists of a blend of natural oils that neutralizes odors at the molecular level while leaving your bathroom smelling fresh.
It goes without saying, but keeping your bathroom clean reduces odors in the bathroom. Make sure you are thorough. Of course, no one wants to get down and dirty with the porcelain god, but a major odor area is near the base of the toilet where urine somehow accumulates. Another area to remember is under the seat…yes, under the seat. Please wear gloves. If you have cabinets below your sink, make sure there’s no leakage and regularly check for mold. By maintaining a strict cleaning regime you’ll be on your way to an odor-free bathroom.
There are many tips and tricks to ‘hiding’ the odor when it is temporary and not part of a lingering problem in your bathroom. Air fresheners come in many varieties, scents and shapes. You have plug-ins, sprays, DIY’s, potpourri, etc. Another odor concealer to join the market is essential oils. One successful trick is to place 2-3 drops of your favorite blend of oil on the inside of your toilet paper roll before putting it on the holder. You will be pleasantly surprised when you next enter the bathroom. There are unlimited options to controlling the wisp of air coming from the bathroom, but starting with this essential list of basic steps from Green Apple Cleaning, you’re on your way to a clean and fragrant bathroom.

Nobody has a clean house on New Year’s Eve, but after the holidays are over, it’s the perfect time to start scrubbing. That way, you and your family will start 2020 on the right foot. But where do you begin cleaning? You don’t have to clean every inch of the house to make this change, that’s why we made you a new year house cleaning checklist. Keep reading!
After the holidays, the first place you need to clean is the fridge. Correctly store or throw away the leftover; you don’t need spilled food messing out your kitchen. Then, pick up a microfiber and wipe the door and shelves. It’s reccomended you use plant-based cleaners to clean the interiors of the fridge. You can also gently vacuum the coils to remove any crumbs.
There are few spots more important to clean than your bed. You spend nearly 8 hours in your bed every day, and it’s a place that can easily nest some nasty dust mites. Save a little time of your day to strip your mattress and vacuum it. Also use your complete vacuum cleaner to give a deep clean to your carpet, especially if you have in your room also.
The kitchen’s surfaces like cabinets accumulate a thin layer of grease every year. Dish soap is great to do this job because it’s efficient, cheap, and you already have it in your home. Use microfiber to clean the stove, oven, and cabinets. All the spattered oil and gummy fingertips will be wiped out.
Closets are always storing things that you don’t need. Take a look inside, unhang your clothes, and separate the ones that you don’t need. Every piece that you won’t use again; it’s only accumulating dust. Sell or donate your old clothes and make free space in your closet; that way, you can clean it quickly, and feel your room more light and tidy.
After a whole year has passed, you may have the experience to decide what changes apply in your room to keep it more tidy and clean throughout the year. First, you have to clean and declutter your room, then reorganize your furniture to create a more comfortable and accessible space for you. The put the rules: you can determinate a five/minute clean every day, or a no accumulating rule for more than five new objects.
Of course, your bathroom is begging for a cleaning and disinfecting session, especially the tub and shower. Use your favorite plant-based cleaning supplies and pour it in your tile and grout. Let the liquid do its effect then start to scrub. It’s hard work, we know, but after you’ve done your bathroom will be shining and germ-free, ready for a whole new year.
After you clean all these places, you’ll be ready to face the new year. Remember that if you need help with a deep cleaning, you can contact us on our website.
