Tips for Restoring Bathroom Toilets and Sinks

Bathroom toilets and sinks are some of the most important features of a house. Having problems with your bathroom can be very inconvenient and expensive. Here are some tips that can help you restore and maintain your bathroom toilet and sinks.

For Bathroom Toilets

Tip # 1 Clean

A car engine needs to get cleaned regularly so that it will give you a good performance: so does your bathroom toilet. One of the leading causes of leaks and problems of bathroom toilets are things that get stuck inside your toilet bowl and the grime that thickens inside it. With a toilet brush and a mild detergent, scrub your toilet from the inside out. Clean your bathroom toilet regularly.

Tip #2 Sanitize

Scrubbing the grime from your bathroom toilet is never enough. There are germs and bacteria that are found in toilet seats that are harmful to your health. To sanitize your toilet, use products that are proven disinfectants. With a clean piece of cloth, spray some disinfectant and thoroughly wipe it to the seat and rim. Leave the disinfectant on for 15 minutes, and then wipe it off with a clean cloth. When disinfecting your toilet bowl you need to flush the solution to rinse it properly.

Tip #3 Make it Shine

Now that the toilet is clean, it is time you bring back its luster and make it look new. To do this, wipe the outside part of the toilet properly until it is dry. Then apply some non-wax polish using a clean piece of cloth.

For Bathroom Sink

Tip #1 Clean

Depending on the material of the sink, it is best to clean away the stains like hard water and soap scum. For stainless steel sinks, scrub the scum with mild soap or detergent. Never use scrub tools or harsh solutions because it can scratch the surface of your sink.

Treat your porcelain sink with a solution of vinegar and warm water to get those hard water scums. For soap scum, use warm water with baking soda to clean it. Clean your sink regularly.

Tip #2 Disinfect

Choose disinfectant that is commercially available in the market. Wet a clean piece of cloth with your disinfectant. Then wipe the whole sink with the cloth. Leave the solution in the sink for a while to fully disinfect it. Wipe off and dry your sink with a clean dry cloth. It is important that you use gloves, because disinfectants can irritate the skin.

Tip #3 Make it Shine

For stainless steel sinks, you can use oil (olive or baby oil is best recommended) in a paper towel to give it a shine. You can also use a glass cleaner in a towel as a substitute.

For porcelain sinks, vinegar is the best polish. Leave the vinegar for at least 15 minutes and be sure to rinse it off thoroughly so that the smell of vinegar won’t remain.
