Bathroom Cleaning 101: A Complete Clean in Just 5 Minute Featuring Tips from Zoe RaymondBathroom Cleaning 101: A Complete Clean in Just 5 Minute Featuring Tips from Zoe Raymond

Hygiene is of paramount importance in any household, let alone households with kids. So it’s no surprise that parents invest a lot of time and effort in ensuring that their home is clean and free of germs – especially in places like the toilet. Toilets are hotbeds for germs to breed. Having said that, you don’t necessarily have to spend hours cleaning your toilet for it to be hygienic. It’s quality over quantity. Here are some bathroom cleaning tips that will help you to achieve a thorough cleaning in just 5 minutes!

Do You Know What Lurks in Your Toilet?

At a glance, your toilet looks spick and span. So you assume that it is hygienic and free of germs. But is it really? A closer look might reveal that your toilet isn’t as clean as you believe it is.

Upon closer inspection, you might catch sight of less obvious stains, dirt between the tiles and soap scum - the white, chalky residue that appears as a film layer over surfaces. If you actually run your hands under the sink, or at the corners of the wall, you might find a blob of slime that you are not going to like or even black mold! Many of these may blend in with your toilet tiles or fixtures so well that you miss them altogether! But these are exactly what you don’t want in your toilet.  Mold, germs and bacteria are unhygienic and can cause health problems.

Why is mold so common even in the cleanest of toilets? The toilet is often wet, thus making it moist and humid, an environment that is perfect for mold to thrive. When surfaces are not cleaned or dried, mildew begins to form. Eventually, mildew turns into mold1.

You don’t want to ignore mold for they are more than just an eyesore. Mold spores can possibly trigger allergies. Furthermore, for those with pre-existing respiratory conditions, mold spores might  irritate the lining of their lungs and increase the risk of asthma attacks1.

That’s why it is important to regularly use specialised mold cleaners. Mold grows by extending roots into surface matters and ordinary cleaners will not be able to remove them effectively.

Bathroom Cleaning Tips – A Total Clean in Just 5 Minutes!

Zoe Raymond, a KOL, content creator, and mother of two has experienced what it’s like to clean the toilet, she knows what a chore it can be if you don’t have the right products. She explains,

“I know that cleaning the bathroom can be a chore and requires a lot of time and effort - that’s if you aren’t using the right products!”

She’s absolutely right! As sinister as mold, dirt, germs, and bacteria and in the bathroom sound, you can get rid of it all really easily. 5 minutes a day is all you need to have a hygienic bathroom and to keep mold at bay. With our bathroom cleaning tips, you will eradicate these for good in no time.

Yes, you read that right – 5 minutes. While you can do a more thorough cleaning occasionally, the daily routine is rather simple. Wash the toilet floor, clean the vanity cabinet and mirrors, and of course, clean the toilet bowls. You can use Magiclean Dual Power Toilet Cleaner that not only cleans by effectively disintegrating and dissolving stains and bacteria, it prevents stains from accumulating on your toilet bowl by leaving behind a protective shield. Zoe’s daughter Arielle also wants to have a go at using Magiclean Dual Power Toilet Cleaner which removes and prevents stains for up to 60 flushes! Magiclean Dual Power Toilet Cleaner is available in two different fragrances (Ocean Fresh and Forest Fresh)  to keep your toilet bowl smelling fresh all day long!

But that’s not all. Remember the mold we spoke of? Mold likes to grow in dark, damp areas so be sure to clean surfaces under the sink, hidden pipes, or anywhere that water can pool. Don’t forget the nooks between tiles and deep corners as well. You can use a specialised mold remover such as Magiclean Stain and Mold Remover that is formulated with a strong penetrative foam formula that effectively gets rids of black mold and stains in just 5 minutes! All you have to do is spray it on and rinse. You can skip the scrubbing altogether! Zoe explains, “We use the Stain and Mold remover for our toilet walls. The kids love running their hands on the toilet walls at bath time. Magiclean Stain and Mold remover rids mold right to the roots, no scrubbing required!!”

Last but not least, do an occasional check to ensure that pipes are not leaking in the toilet!
