As with all cleaning tasks, the best way to tackle this is to not let it pile up. One mum has found a ‘life-changing’ hack that will reduce the time you spend whitening your bathroom.
Even better, Jeannie’s trick doesn’t require harsh chemicals, expensive products, or abrasives that can damage your tiles.
The cleaning lady, better known as @attleaboutalot on Tiktok, she instead uses a long-handled sponge to make her bathroom shine.
She uses it as a squeegee and then fills the cleaning gadget with half dish soap and half white vinegar to break down any limescale build-up.
According to the domestic goddess, this hack will even help remove water stains on her shower door while reducing the amount of mold and mildew. pink appearing grimly in her bathroom.
She’s been using the hack for almost a decade, telling fans in a viral video: “I have one in every shower… and after I’m done showering, I clean the shower so there’s no deep cleaning days.”
Instead of going to the utility room, the smart cleaner will keep a pre-filled sponge in her shower so she can get the job done right away.
Once this is done, she can simply rinse the area with her shower head and continue with her day (yes, it really is that simple).
While her kids may still be in school, even they are getting involved in cleaning the bathroom since Jeannie showed them this hack.
“I also have it in the children’s bathroom and after they take a bath, the older ones will do a quick scrub and keep the bath clean too,” she explained.
You don’t have to worry about the lingering smell of white vinegar either, as the mom revealed she uses a scented dish soap to keep her house smelling heavenly.
It’s not surprising that people have fallen in love with the cleaning hack and are eager to try it out for themselves.
In the comments, one Tiktok user called it a “game-changer,” while another said it was “the answer to all my problems.”
A third then joked: “This is the most Monica Geller thing I’ve ever seen.”
If you’re tempted to try this hack yourself, a similar long-handled sponge is available from B&M £1.50
While you’re at the discount store, you can also pick up Fabulousa’s Zingy Apple dishwashing liquid with a 675 ml bottle that only costs £1.29.
Since the whole hack will set you back less than $3, this sounds like the perfect way to get your shower sparkling.
