If you have tiles in your bathroom a toothbrush or small brush can be very helpful when cleaning the grout. Use bleach with your brush and scrub them. Then wipe down with warm water. This will help your bathroom look much cleaner with clean grout and tiles.
Step 5: Cleaning your mirrors and sinks

Step 6: Clean your shower and tub
We know that your shower is one place you want to keep clean, so we’ll help with the maintenance for it. Make sure everything stays nice and shiny by bringing down any curtains if they are present before cleaning as well!
