If you have recently undergone a San Diego, CA bathroom remodeling, you are going to want to keep it looking new for as long as you can. After all, you invested a lot of time and money into this project and want to ensure it stays in tip-top shape. One of the easiest ways to do this is to make sure you are cleaning the space regularly.
This is especially true when it comes to your bathroom countertops. This surface can get dirty fast from things like soap, water spots, toothpaste, makeup, spills, and more. Making sure you clean this surface regularly will help to reduce any dirt build making it easier to keep clean.
To help keep your newly remodeled bathroom countertops looking like new, you should not only perform light cleaning daily but also do a deeper cleaning once a week. If you aren’t sure about the best methods for this, here are some easy cleaning tips.
A Place for Everything and Everything in its Place
The first step for keeping your bathroom countertops clean is to keep them organized and tidy. Having a designated place for each item will ensure this is easily done. Things like having a holder for your toothbrush, as well as designated places for things like makeup, hairdryers, and curling irons can help keep things neat and tidy. Each morning and evening after you have completed getting ready, simply make sure everything is back in its designated place. Then take a clean rag and wipe down the counter to clear away any water spots or spills.
Perform a Deep Clean
Wiping down your countertops daily goes a long way in helping them stay clean. However, you will still want to perform deep cleaning at least once a week. Luckily, this is not a difficult or time-consuming task and can be done quite easily. It is important to note that the cleaning solution you use will depend on the material of your countertops. Always check with the countertop provider to determine what solution you should use as you certainly do not want to damage the material. Once you know what solution to use, you will then clean the countertop using the following steps:
- Clear away anything off of the countertop
- Spray the surface with the chosen cleaning solution
- Using a clean dry cloth, wipe the countertop clean
- For more stubborn stains, either leave the cleaning solution on longer or, if okay for material, combine the solution with baking soda and gently scrub away
It’s important that you matter what material your bathroom countertop is made from, never use any cleaning products such as steel wool or scouring pads as they can cause damage to the surface of the countertop.
