Kill Bacteria On Bathroom Surfaces

Keep your bathroom surfaces clean and disinfected.


Your bathroom can become a haven for mold, mildew, germs and other bacteria since bathroom surfaces are almost continually doused with water. Avoid breathing mold and picking up other bacteria in the bathroom by regularly disinfecting it with white vinegar, a non-toxic, environmentally friendly cleaning solution. An alternative to commercial cleaners that can contain toxic substances that can potentially harm you as well as the environment once they wash down the drain, vinegar's acidity kills most bacteria and mold.


Instructions


1. Remove all items from bathroom counters, sinks, tub/shower, toilet backs and tables. Place them in a safe area where they will not get broken or stepped on while you clean.








2. Make a cleaning solution using 1/4 cup of white vinegar for every cup of water used. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and shake well.


3. Spritz all surfaces, one at a time, with the solution. Wipe the solution up using a clean rag or paper towels. Scrub any areas with extra mold, mildew or soap scum with a clean rag or scrub brush.


4. Dust baking soda over extra grimy surfaces and spritz vinegar on top to make a bubbly solution. Scrub affected areas with your scrub brush.


5. Rinse the baking soda/vinegar solution off surfaces with water.
