Bathroom cleaning must ensure ventilation and dryness. You should follow the principle of cleaning first and disinfecting later each week for the sink and bathtub. When using diluted bleach, ensure you dilute it with cold water and strictly forbid mixing it with acidic cleaners. After cleaning, ensure the surface is completely dried to prevent mold regeneration.
Bathroom cleaning hygiene principles
The core of bathroom cleaning lies in ventilation and dryness. Before using any cleaner, check the product instructions to ensure it is suitable for the specific surface material. Never mix bleach with other chemicals to avoid creating toxic gases. You must wear gloves while cleaning to protect your skin.
Before using bleach, please first understand Method for using bleach from the Centre for Health Protection(opens in a new window), and operate according to the product label.
Weekly cleaning guidelines
Clean in sequence from the cleanest surface to the dirtiest area. When washing the sink and toilet, first wash away surface stains with detergent and rinse with water; if disinfection is needed, use bleach diluted according to the manufacturer's recommendations only in the final step. Always clean and dry tools thoroughly after use.
- Ensure the environment is ventilated and wear gloves.
- Use clean water and detergent first to remove surface dirt.
- Thoroughly rinse and wipe dry water stains.
- Perform moderate disinfection and wipe the surface dry when necessary.
Handling mold and stubborn stains
Mold issues should be handled as soon as possible. Mold on hard surfaces can be scrubbed with detergent and water, then dried thoroughly. If mold is severe enough to reach the interior of porous materials, consider replacing them. Do not caulk or paint before clearing the mold, otherwise it will easily peel off.
When handling moldy materials, you can follow US Environmental Protection Agency's home mold prevention recommendations(opens in a new window)treatment and note the on-site and material restrictions.
