How To Clean Your Bathroom Easy. A Candle Is All You Need!

It’s especially frustrating when after all that cleaning you see that discoloration takes place in between tiles. That ugly brown that seems impossible to get rid of. It turns out, there is a way to get those dirty looking crevices white again. All you need is a candle for this incredibly simple life hack for your grimy bathroom tiles.

After you have cleaned the tiles normally, take a normal wax candle that you can find in any store.
Press with the bottom end on one of the joints and rub the candle into it a few times back and forth. After just a couple seconds you’ll see how it’s already working.
Rub the candle back and forth on the discolored areas. You’ll quickly see how it is working.
Rub it in especially on the areas where it comes into contact with water. Not only does it turn white, but it is providing a protective film so the dirty brown won’t come back.
Afterwards, you’ll never have to deal with dirty grout lines again. Brilliant!

You can also use car wax paste for the same purpose. First, clean the tiles, then cover with wax using a cloth, and finally, polish the surface with a dry cloth. You can go with the same procedure for the taps and shower cabin. Have you found any other ways of cleaning your bathroom? Of getting rid of mould for example? If it occurs around the bath I put a cloth soaked in bleach and leave it overnight. In the morning, you need to thoroughly ventilate the bathroom (chlorine is not healthy by the way, but in some cases only this does the work). You can use the car wax paste to polish the bathroom mirror to prevent it from steaming up.

Cleaning A New House Before Moving In: 5 Tips For Couples

Posted by: Denise Baptiste Published: Wednesday, January 6, 2016, 19:00 [IST]

Before moving into your new home, it is necessary for you to clean it, although it has no items present in it just yet! Your new home might look brand new to your eyes as well, but it is important to follow these simple cleaning tips, so that your things are placed well into a clean home. 

To get started, first you need a couple of things that will help you clean your brand new home. A stick and soft broom, a moping cloth with a long stick, a couple of cotton-cleaning cloths, a dustpan and, of course, a mask to cover your mouth to protect you from inhaling and swallowing the dust particles while cleaning your home. 

Together with this, you will also need detergent and cleaning agents to make your home sparkle and look clean. You can also add dettol to the list, as it helps to disinfect the home from bacteria and germs, especially the toilet and bathing area. So, what are you waiting for? Take a look at some of these useful cleaning tips to get started on that new house before moving in: 

Start From High To Low: Empty homes usually gather a lot of spider webs; therefore, sweep the webs carefully using a broom. Begin from the top that is the roof area and then go down to the crevices in each of the rooms. Gently sweep all the rooms and gather the dust, placing it in a bin. After cleaning the floor, mop the floor aggressively and focus on removing the floor stains too. 
Clean The Forgotten Areas: When moving into a house, try focusing on areas you know you are unlikely to tackle soon after moving in. Cleaning these areas well will help to prevent the dust from coming in for a long period of time. Areas to focus on are vents, fans, walls, attics, radiators, inside cupboards, etc. 

The Bedrooms: Since you will be spending more time in the bedroom, it is necessary to clean it in and out. Remove the dust and grime from the window panes and mop the floor till it shines. You can also clean the AC vent, if it is present in the bedroom.

Toilet Cleaning: Clean the toilet with the help of an acid, as it helps to remove the stains from the tiles and commode. You can add a touch of home remedies too while cleaning the toilet. Clean the floors with lemon and baking soda, it will make the toilet smell fresh, and make it look clean and sparkling.


Kitchen Grime: Cleaning the kitchen of a new house, before moving in, is important, as it helps to keep diseases and infections at bay. It is necessary to clean the kitchen sink with vinegar and lemon to disinfect the zone before using it and moving in your things to the house.
