A clean bathroom? Here's how to do it quickly, sustainably, and thoroughly.

Ah, the bathroom, your personal mini-spa, oasis of tranquility... or, let's be honest: the place with limescale, soap scum, and stray hairs. Fortunately, a clean bathroom doesn't have to be a daily chore, and certainly not a chemical assault on your nostrils.

With these practical and sustainable tips, you can keep your bathroom fresh and limescale-free, without any hassle.

1 - Start with the basics: what is limescale?

Limescale forms when water with high mineral content (hard water) dries. You see it as a white film on faucets, tiles, glass shower walls, and in your kettle. Not only does it look untidy, it can also damage your belongings. Time to tackle that limescale monster!

2 - Vinegar is your new best friend

No need for expensive cleaning products. A bottle of natural vinegar works wonders:

• Pour vinegar into a plant sprayer and spray on the shower head, taps and tiles
• Let it soak for 15-30 minutes
• Scrub with a soft brush or sponge and rinse with warm water

For stubborn stains, you can wrap a cloth with vinegar around the faucet and let it sit for an hour. It'll be sparkling clean, I bet!

Descaling a shower head in an instant

Are you noticing that your shower spray is suddenly a bit weak? Chances are the holes in your shower head are clogged with limescale. Here's how to descale your shower head :

• Fill a plastic bag with natural vinegar or HG limescale remover
• Tie this with a rubber band around the shower head, making sure it is completely submerged
• Let this soak in for at least an hour (preferably overnight)
• Remove the sachet, rinse the shower well and wipe clean

Result: a fresh, powerful jet and a much more pleasant shower.

3 - Baking soda for extra power

Limescale and soap scum = a stubborn duo. Make a paste of baking soda and water and use it as a scrub:

• Apply to dirty areas
• Let it soak for a while
• Scrub gently and rinse

Combine this with a vinegar spray for a foaming, cleansing reaction – a little bit of bathroom chemistry, but in its greenest form.

4 - Quick routine = less cleaning time

Want to scrub less? Then prevention really is better than cure. Here's how to keep track:

• After showering, run a squeegee over the glass walls
• Dry taps and tiles with a microfiber cloth
• Rinse away soap residue immediately

It costs you one minute a day, and saves you an hour every week.

5 - Don't forget the hidden corners

Under the rim of your toilet, the sink trap, the extractor fan—all places where limescale and dirt secretly accumulate. Schedule a monthly mini-check to keep track of this. An old toothbrush will go a long way.

6 - Make it fun

Put on your favorite music , use cleaning products with a pleasant, natural scent, and reward yourself with a cup of tea afterward. Cleaning doesn't have to be a punishment; it's also a time to care for your home (and, secretly, for yourself, too).
