Tips
Sure, the tenants are supposed to clean
everything when they leave, but quite often the bathroom is the one room
that is left with a little TLC needed. And that means the landlord has
to finish the job of making it spotless before the new tenant moves in.
So here are a few "quick and easy" tips to get the job done fast.
Beat mildew with this easy formula.
Use a spray bottle to spray on a solution of 50% water and 50% hydrogen
peroxide. This is a mild and safe bleach that doesn't harm the environment.
Spray this formula on and leave it there. No need to wipe it off.
Do this once a year to stop mildew from forming on the walls and ceilings.
If mildew is already present, then repeat in a few hours. Let it
stand and then repeat again in 24 hours.
Keep your shower stalls and tub surrounds
free of spots by applying a coat of car wax to the walls and even the shower
doors. The wax will "seal" the porous nature of the fiberglass and
will make cleaning a breeze in the future. Please Note: NEVER wax the floorsof the shower or tub, as it will make them very slippery.
Remove soap scum and spots from mirrors,
shower doors and faucets by spraying on a simple solution of 1/4 cup ofwhite vinegar and 1/4 cup of rubbing alcohol. Pour into a large spray bottle
and fill with water. Finally add a few drops of automatic dishwashing
detergent. This will help remove fingerprints and grease, plus it
makes the solution easier to wipe on and wipe off.
