How to Clean and Care for Your Bathroom

Congrats on finishing your bathroom remodel, we hope your Home Bathroomware products are looking beautiful! In this blog, we are going to share our top bathroom care and cleaning tips to help you get years longer out of your bathroom.

Let’s start with bathroom ventilation. This is the most important thing to get right when it comes to bathroom care. Good ventilation will not only save you thousands of dollars by making your products last longer, but it will also keep you and your family healthy.

    1. Why Ventilation Is Crucial for Bathroom Care

    A lot of people don’t even realise they may not have sufficient bathroom ventilation. The signs are simple, after a shower the mirror is usually the first thing to steam up or the tiled walls are wet. If this is happening, over time this will cause black spotting or corrosion to the mirror which can’t be reversed.

    It will also cause swelling of cabinetry and paint might start flaking off on the ceiling.  Evidence of mould or mildew throughout the bathroom is also a clear indicator that ventilation in the space is not adequate plus it will smell damp, and no one likes that!

    Our top tips:

    • Run the fan every time water is being used in the bathroom.
    • Run it for around 15 minutes after you shower.
    • In addition to the exhaust fan, if you have a bathroom window, opening that daily (even in the chilly winter months) in addition to using the exhaust fan will help to keep your bathroom fresh and mould-free.

    2. How to Clean Your Bathroom Vanity

    Your vanity is the centerpiece of your bathroom, so treat it with care.

    Best way to clean your vanity:

    • Use a soft cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

    • Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing pads that can damage finishes

    • Dry any excess water immediately to prevent water damage or staining

    Avoid: Leaving standing water, makeup spills, or chemical residue sitting on the surface as this can lead to permanent damage over time.

    3. How to Clean Your Bathroom Sink

    Your sink sees constant use, so it deserves regular love.

    Tips for sink cleaning:

    • Use gentle cleaners and avoid abrasive scouring powders

    • Rinse and dry daily to avoid soap scum and water marks

    • Clean around the edges and tapware where grime builds up

    Want a spotless finish? Try a soft microfiber cloth and a natural vinegar-based cleaner for a sparkling shine.

    4. Maintaining Other Bathroom Fixtures

    When it comes to cleaning your mirrors, please do not use Windex or any other ammonia or acid-based cleaning products as this can damage the silvered backing of the mirror.

    We suggest using a slightly moistened microfibre cloth to remove dry dirt or grime, then simply buff clean with a dry microfibre cloth, leaving it clean and streak-free!

    Final Thoughts: Make Bathroom Care a Habit

    Taking care of your bathroom doesn't require hours of work—just a few smart habits. With proper ventilation and the right cleaning techniques, you’ll extend the life of your bathroom vanities, sinks, mirrors, and more.
