Keeping your home clean and fresh is no easy undertaking. It's even more difficult in smaller areas that tend to attract more dust, house more moisture, and are used more frequently, such as the bathroom. With people constantly in and out, taking hot showers, leaving steam, soap scum, and dirt after every use, it's no wonder bathrooms seem to get dirty faster than any other room in the home. 

Since we know the struggle of keeping a clean bathroom all too well, we here at homify have put together a list of eight ways you can keep a clean and comfortable bathroom without driving yourself crazy. Let's get to it!

1. The war against moisture

It's no secret that moisture builds up faster in the bathroom than anywhere else. Without proper ventilation, that moisture can lead to mould growth, which isn't good for anyone. 

To keep the moisture at bay, keep a window open while showering, or if you have it, turn on the ventilation system in the bathroom. It also helps to keep the bathroom door open after you shower to let out the moisture. 

2. Glass showers

Glass showers, as cool and upscale as they appear, get dirty very quickly with soap scum and water marks. Luckily combatting this is pretty easy. 

Simply hang and leave a squeegee in the shower so that when you're done washing, you can easily scrape off the excess water and soap from the glass. This keeps the glass clear of any buildup, and it takes less than a minute to do!

3. Dealing with wood

Many of us have wooden elements in our bathrooms, and that usually spells trouble in relation to the moisture problem most bathrooms have. But did you know that Cypress is strong enough to naturally resist mildew and rot? If you're going to incorporate any type of wood in the bathroom, we recommend using this.

4. Keep it clear

We know that the bathroom is the place where everyone gets ready in the morning, meaning there are loads upon loads of various toiletries taking up space. In order to maintain a clean and comfortable bathroom space, keep your bathroom from being overrun with items on the counter. 

Placing them in baskets or storing them underneath the sink or in a cabinet will help keep the dust away and also protect the counter from holding water for those eventual spills.

5. Windows

We've already mentioned how having an open window in the bathroom will cut down on moisture, but opening the windows also allows fresh air to circulate within the bathroom, filling it with all of the fresh scents of the outdoors. This will help your bathroom maintain a light and clean feel.

6. Keeping up with glass

We know glass smudges–especially if our sinks are made of glass. Due to the transparent nature of the substance, water, dirt, and soap leave easy marks, no matter how clean you may be. Unfortunately, the only way to get around having a dirty sink is to clean it regularly. 

Leave a spray bottle full of glass cleaner under the sink, and give it a good spray at least once a day. A quick spray and a rinse will ensure that your glass basin sink sparkles like the day you bought it.

7. Don't forget about the mirrors

Mirrors are another easily soiled item in the bathroom. Water splashes are most common, but soap, hair spray, and even makeup smudges are all possible on this surface. Just like with glass sinks, keeping glass cleaner handy is a plus. 

Cleaning your bathroom mirrors once a week will keep the space feeling brighter and more open, so it's worth spending an extra minute a week keeping your reflective surfaces sanitary.

8. Greens go a long way

Our last piece of advice for maintaining a clean bathroom comes from Mother Nature herself. What better way to add oxygen, colour, and life to a space than by adding a bit of vegetation? Depending on the type of plant you decide to use, you can have a nice fresh scent. You can even swap out the plants from time to time–one week lavender, the next roses!

If you love plant life as much as we do and you want to incorporate them into your home, then be sure to check out these greenery tips for inside!
