Video: Easy Tips for a Cleaner Bathroom

REDWOOD CITY — Host, Sarah Rutan: When it comes to bathroom cleanliness, there are ways to both reduce maintenance and improve cleaning efficiency. Today, we’re in Redwood City with Diamond Certified Expert Contributor Jennifer Young of Elite Pro Home Cleaning, to learn some easy tips to keep your bathroom cleaner.

Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, Jennifer Young: A couple tips to help you get a better clean from your cleaning company is to maintain some of the things in your home. One of the big things is your shower. Oftentimes right after you take the shower the best thing to do is to use a squeegee. You can just keep the squeegee in your shower and the last person that showers just squeegee off all the excess water. By doing this, it helps to ensure that no pink mold actually grows in the shower.

Additionally, make sure you have good ventilation in your bathroom. So, if you don’t necessarily have a bathroom fan, then make sure to open up your window so that the excess steam can get out and ventilate out. This will help to ensure that the steam doesn’t settle in and allow for additional growth of pink mold, which then could turn to black mold.

Another great thing to do that would really help a cleaning company is the more surface area they have available to clean, the better the clean is going to be. So, oftentimes if you have your makeup or your lotions or hairspray sitting on the counter, it just makes it more difficult to get to all of the areas. So, I would suggest getting some great little baskets and filling your stuff, and not only does it help to organize your makeup or keep things in categories, but it makes it easy for the cleaners to go in and they can get more areas to clean.

Additionally, you can also put them in your drawer right before the cleaners come and then that even makes their job that much easier and makes your clean that much better. So, hopefully, with these few tips you can use you’re going to get a better clean from your cleaning service.
