With the right tips, smart habits and a little attention, you can turn your bathroom into a wonderfully clean place.

Start with the basics
A clean bathroom starts with consistency. Want to prevent stubborn limescale and soap scum? Then grab your cleaning cloth more regularly. Think about wiping down your bathroom furniture and other surfaces, ventilating to prevent mold, and cleaning joints and taps on time. However, some parts of your bathroom need a little more attention — we will discuss this in more detail below:
1. Limescale? Descale your shower head regularly
Limescale is your shower head’s worst enemy. Not only does it look grimy, limescale can also reduce water pressure and shorten the lifespan of your shower head. Luckily, there are easy ways to descale your shower head without using harsh cleaning agents.
2. Go green: tips for a sustainable bathroom
Cleaning doesn't have to be at the expense of the planet. With a few adjustments, you can make your cleaning routine greener and more efficient. Think sustainable cleaning products, zero waste products and smart water conservation. Want to know more? Check out our tips for a sustainable bathroom.
3. Cleaning shower walls without streaks
Glass walls in the bathroom are beautiful, but they are also susceptible to limescale and soap scum. Fortunately, there are ways to clean your shower walls streak-free — and even protect them preventively, so you don’t have to scrub as often.
4. Don't forget the tiles: cleaning bathroom tiles
The joints and tiles in your bathroom can quickly become dirty and even hold mold. Want to know how to tackle this thoroughly without using aggressive cleaning agents? Read our blog about cleaning bathroom tiles for a step-by-step approach.
5. The shower drain: small but crucial
A clogged shower drain is not only annoying, but also a breeding ground for bacteria and unpleasant odors. Ugh! In our blog about cleaning the shower drain, we explain how to quickly complete this task — and how to prevent clogs.
6. Shiny mirrors without spots
There's nothing more annoying than a mirror full of spots, especially when you're in a hurry. With the right technique and products, you can get your bathroom mirror sparkling clean again — and avoid that annoying haze.
7. What to do with the last piece of soap?
Cleaning the bathroom also means tidying up the bathroom. Do you use soap bars and often have half pieces of your soap bar lying around in the bathroom? Don't throw them away! We share clever ideas for what to do with that last piece of soap bar — from reusing to creative recycling.
Make cleaning a habit
A truly clean bathroom is not achieved with one major cleaning session per month, but through small, regular actions. Do you find it difficult to keep this up? Set a weekly reminder in your (digital) agenda! And don't forget to ventilate. Your bathroom will thank you — and you will thank yourself too.
