1. Shower head

Showed head is one of the spots that are often neglected when cleaning, making it one of the dirtiest places in your bathroom. Cleaning experts explain that the water that flows through showerheads and taps can contain germs and bacteria. Moreover, the showerhead has tiny openings for the water to go through.

These openings can get clogged with dirt, turning into a breeding ground for biofilm, which is a bacterium that builds up with time and spreads to the shower water as it gushes through. Combine this with the fact that you probably never clean those tiny holes, and your showerhead becomes one of the dirtiest places in your bathroom.

The solution? Clean it regularly to prevent debris from sticking to and clogging the tiny openings. These mini brushes from Amazon are the perfect tools for this kind of job because they effectively reach grime in the shower head holes.

  1. This article was great but you forgot about the soap dispenser. After you use the toilet you then touch the soap dispenser to get soap to wash your hands. The germs that build up on that! Yuck! That needs a regular cleaning.

  2. Great & thorough information on the Bathroom
    Cleaning and disinfection.

  3. Try putting ONE article on a page. You can’t even find where it ends. You have so many articles on here I can’t read the actual article. Terrible setup

  4. The dirtiest spot is probably the bathroom sink. If you have teenagers….then who knows! Just put on a hazmat suit and carry Lysol spray in one hand and bleach in the other hand! I know it’s dangerous to mix chemicals, but so is sharing a bathroom with a teenager!

  5. Thank you so very much for your input on a very clean and odor free home. Since covid I think every household is concern about the bacterial that is accumulating in places we don’t think of. I will pay special attention to the recommendation you express.
