Obviously, the main pollutant is all the dirt that is washed off in the process of taking a shower. No less a serious source of dirt is water itself, because dust particles and so on are deposited in its droplets. After evaporation of the liquid, mineral salts and other dissolved substances remain on the surfaces.

All kinds of shower gels, soap, shampoo, and other cosmetics also fall on the surface of the glass and on pallets. The common thing between different types of dirt is that in old form they are washed off very, very badly.

Shower cabins contain a number of materials, and therefore, for each part of them you need to select separately cleaning products:

• So, acrylic pallets should be washed and cleaned differently than made from natural stone or ceramics. It is not recommended to conduct experiments and apply unknown household chemicals. Yes, and well-known, too, if there is no certainty that they are suitable in a particular case. Never use anything that contains abrasives, strong acids, or alkali to clean showers.

• Wipe chrome parts a slice of lemon. Wash off the juice is not required.

• Dense pollution often occurs on shower heads. In this case, they should be put in a mixture. vinegar with water (components are taken in equal proportions) and leave for 8-10 hours. You can either dismantle the watering can on the part, or put on top of it a bag with a solution, the neck of which is tightly tied. Do all work only with rubber gloves! This cleaning method will return the chrome coating to its original shine and, in addition, reduce the susceptibility to new contaminants.

• It often helps ... Coca Cola: it removes lime, rust, and mineral deposits. After keeping the drink in the right place for 30 minutes, pour plenty of it with warm water from the shower.

Properly washing the glass part of the hydrobox is not so difficult. For this purpose, all those tools that you are used to using to clean windows and mirror surfaces are suitable. The selected composition is sprayed on glass, left for some time, then wiped without additional watering.

The simplest cleaning agent that helps to clean the glass of the shower stalls can be prepared with your own hands. Need a combination 200 ml of water and 5 drops of ammonia, their mixture works well and when you need to clean the door without leaving a single divorce.

When all the lines are straight and the walls are even, it is worth using a scraper to care for the glasses; one of the sides of this tool is made in the form of a sponge, and the other - in the form of a dense flexible rubber that removes all fluid and prevents the smallest stains.

To wash the bathroom mirror, as well as the glass structures of the shower cabin, should be as careful as possible. It makes no difference whether you use products made in factories or made from improvised components, they all evaporate actively. As a result, you may experience sudden poisoning, if the concentration of the active substance in a confined space is critical.

It is recommended to apply any preparation to the open door or leave one of the twin leaves open. If you can get to the inner surfaces of the shower door only when it is completely closed, spray the composition directly onto the sash! In such cases, it is poured onto napkins or sponges, with the help of which they work inside.

At home, getting rid of soap deposits will help dishwashing liquid. If you rinse the surface, always do it first with hot, and only then with cold water, in no case should you do the opposite. Do not forget to wipe everything until dry with a soft cloth.

Quickly wash the pan and do no harm to it only through careful selection of cleaning products. Acrylic can be treated only with special compounds that bleach the coating, but do not have an abrasive effect. Rubbing microparticles, opening the porous structure, provoke an accelerated accumulation of contaminants.

You can remove small stains that remain even when thoroughly rinsed with water, using a toothpaste with whitening components. To do this, you need to take old toothbrushes with soft hairs, but in no case use hard bristles. The paste must be white. Under the influence of dyes included in its colored varieties, acrylic can be irreversibly mutilated.

With the clogging of the entire pallet or a significant part of it, specialized reagents will be much more efficient and economical.

Artificial stone structures can be cleaned with toilets. Note that they will have to be washed off with a significant amount of water. Before starting work, be sure to wear strong rubber gloves that do not have a single hole.

Natural stone care does not require special preparationsgrabs one water and a sponge. To conduct an active cleaning, a steam cleaner is used that can soften any spots, crusts and deposits. Then they are simply removed with microfiber cloths.

Plastic pallets need to be washed as often as possible so that they darken less with time. Polyurethane scrapers, sponges made of synthetic materials and soft rags based on non-woven fabric are used for work. The enamel tray is easy to clean with gels, sprays or powders, but it is still desirable that the abrasive effect is not too significant. Tiles can also be washed with what is more convenient and easier for you.

Near drains, taps and sprays, it is necessary to use the most thicker cleaning agent that has the consistency of a paste or cream. Apply a thorough layer of the drug to the problem area, wait as long as it is written in the instructions, and rinse well. This solution will save the surface of the crane not only from calcareous deposits or traces of corrosion, but even from the most stubborn mold. Chrome steel needs to be washed with lemon juice or rubbed with toothpaste, this will help to remove dirt and achieve perfect shine.

It often happens that the surface is clean, the pan shines with whiteness, but the water still leaves poorly or is delayed for a long time. Even constant monitoring and thorough cleaning do not guarantee that the drain will always work perfectly. A lot of hair, fine dirt fall into the pipes, and keeping track of all this is simply unrealistic. But you can do prevention and avoid many troubles.

If you have difficulty with the drain, find out if they arose only with you or affected the neighbors in the stairwell. Do not try to solve the general problem yourself, it is better to call the plumbing. Clogging in the nearest pipe can be removed with homemade paste, which includes soda and vinegar in equal proportions. After pouring them into the drain hole, tightly plug it for two hours, and then pour it with hot water. A small portion of sodium chloride will help increase the activity of the drug.

If neither the paste nor the plunger cleaning helped, it's time to use plumbing cable. You will definitely need an assistant. After inserting the cable into the hole, push it, while someone else should twist the tool around its axis. Then they pull the cable back and forth several times, after which they turn on hot water at full capacity.

As for household chemicals, using it to clean clogs in the depths of pipes is not a good idea. It is worth saving for later, when all other ways to independently destroy the blockage have not yielded results. Try to choose a product that has the most gentle composition, this is necessary for your health and for the sewer. Never exceed the prescribed dosage and duration of use!

Mold colonies are bad in that they are embedded in the very structure of any porous material, and if they are already rooted, it is practically impossible to finally remove the fungus, at least at home. That is why care should be taken to prevent damage to the shower enclosure by mold: forced ventilation is used in the bathroom, the room is regularly ventilated and wiped dry. When washing the cab pay attention to the sealed joints or seams between the tiles, it is there that black mold always appears. It is recommended that once every six weeks an intensive cleaning of the joints with the application of bleaches containing chlorine.

If, nevertheless, the appearance of a fungal colony could not be avoided, it remains only to restrain its development. For routine cleaning, remove any black stain you see immediately. The lesions are treated with special solutions with an exposure of 90 minutes. Then remove the dirt using a sponge.

From improvised means, a mixture of ¼ cup of soda, ½ cup of table vinegar and ½ cup of ammonia can harm the fungus. A soft sponge is lowered into the solution, and already with its help all surfaces are smeared, first of all, walls and mold foci. Note that the smell of this product is very strong, and it can be toxic, so do the cleaning with the windows and doors wide open or with the exhaust fan turned on.

Specialists of cleaning companies and professional cleaning companies know “one big secret - it’s not so important how to wash the shower cabin, how processing regularity:
