Make A Splash With Dri-Pak When You Deep Clean Your Bathroom



 
 
A recent report in The Daily Mail highlighted some of the most germ-laden spots in the home. Unsurprisingly, the bathroom emerged as a hotbed of bacteria and according to Sarah Humphreys, executive editor at Real Simple magazine, who was interviewed for the article, she said, “When it comes to the bathroom the scariest invisible spot is the wall by the toilet.”

Picture this – “If you watch a toilet flush in slow motion, it looks like a fireworks display and microbes can go 20 feet.” - Disgusting don’t you think?

Walls and Tiles
So how do you go about giving your bathroom a thorough deep clean?
For a start, clean your wall and the tiles with a regular Soda Crystals solution, or use Liquid Soda Crystals to get them clean and sparkling.

Grouting
If your grouting is looking dull and dingy, Liquid Soda Crystals are just the thing that will have it looking fresh and new. First, prep the area by wiping it down with a wet cloth. Spray on Liquid Soda Crystals and leave it to set for a few minutes before scrubbing with an old toothbrush. Then rinse well.

Toilets
Flush some Soda Crystals down the bowl to clean and freshen it up, and to help prevent blockages. Soda Crystals can also be used to clean the toilet brush.

Baths, basins and showers
When it comes to the sanitaryware, Liquid Soda Crystals are your best bet. They’re great for cutting through grease, limescale and soap scum. Simply spray on leave to treat for a few minutes and then wipe down. This should leave the bath, basin and shower glistening brightly.

Shower head
Research in America suggests that the slime that builds up inside a shower head is a breeding ground for bugs linked to lots of diseases. The easiest and cheapest way to kill the bugs and get rid of limescale deposits is to soak your shower head in warmed White Vinegar for 20 minutes. Alternatively, you could pour a required amount of White Vinegar into a plastic bag, enough to fully submerge the shower head nozzle. Then tie the bag in place and leave it to soak overnight. Remove it in the morning and run the water to rinse.

Floors
To tackle the floor, try Liquid Soda Crystals. Ceramic or vinyl tiles will clean up beautifully but approach polished wooden or vinyl floors with caution as their coating can be removed with Soda Crystals.  

Sponges, flannels and combs
If you’ve used a sponge to carry out your cleaning tasks, rinse it after each use in a hot solution of Soda Crystals. Wring it out, and let it dry in a ventilated soap dish. Flannels and combs can be soaked in a regular hot solution of Soda Crystals which will help to refresh them.
