New bathroom shine

[Polgara2]

Ok so I have a new bathroom and it is lovely and clean/shiny/sparkly . However, there is now lots of white gloss and chrome that just weren't there before - how do I keep everything looking shiny and lovely? (other than banning anyone from using it lol!)

What does everyone use to clean their bathroom then? And how often just out of interest?

We put in a new bathroom a year ago and the single biggest thing which is keeping it looking lovely and shiny (chrome especially, and the glass shower screen) is a microfibre cloth, used to wipe down the chrome taps at least once a day (honestly, only takes about 5 seconds), and to wipe down the shower screen every time the shower is used. We live in a very hard water area and if you don't do that the screen is covered in limescale marks immediately.

I didn't think I'd be bothered wiping down the shower each time, but actually having a crystal clear shower screen makes the whole bathroom look lovely and clean (even if it's not)

I still love our bathroom as much as when it was brand new!

Apart from that, we clean the rest of the bathroom (bath, sink, loo) about once a week, and the floor when it looks mucky.

Oh yes clean it every time you use it!!!
Get a squidgy from lakeland which suckers on the tile wall.
Get a small chamois leather or one of those synthetic ones. And a microfibre cloth.
Squidgy all water off Walls and screen door after showering. Then chamois dry the edges and the chrome. Then microfibre polish.
Ps the key to an immaculate sink is to dry it with the chamois.
It is a habit well worth forming.

I do the flylady swish and swipe every day and a thorough clean every week (more or less). That has kept my bathroom looking like new. We don't have limescale though so it may be different elsewhere.

Mr Sheen do a chrome polish which is great for things like chrome radiators. It does smell very chemical though so if you are very natural in your cleaning products it is not the way to go.

I hate sounding like an infomercial but e-cloths (both the regular one and the polishing one) are really great. They tackle grease and grime very effectively and make cleaning light and fun. No fancy cleaning products needed - just water and the cloth. And I have various makes of microfiber cloths and I think the e-cloths are really the best of them all.

that's lovely but DH is the one using our previously new/shiny bathroom and never uses the sprays/squeegee I got for him, I think that using an ecloth is well beyond him. Shower has dried by the time I'm up. I really would love to have a watermark free home but think we are too lazy.

Have been wondering for a while about having a filter or whatever put on the main water pipe into the home so that all water is softened. Would this mean less money spent trying to keep the bathrooms shiny and limescale free?

I probably sound like an utter slattern compared to everyone dedicatedly squeeging and drying their shower every day but I use the Method Shower Shine. I spray that onto the wet shower and it miraculously seems to prevent water marks building. Then once a week I do a proper "chemical" clean with something like Limelite. We have really hard water here - have to descale the kettle once a fortnight.

We squeegy the shower screen after every use (it just takes a few seconds) and I give the bathroom a proper clean every month. We have hard water so I use Ecover limescale remover on the taps & an ecloth on everything else.

Wow thanks ladies .

So I need to go shopping for an e-cloth or microfibre cloth and a squeegee thingummybob! Will get them and report back.

Oh and where do I get Method products from?

waitrose/john lewis stock method.

I get Method stuff from Sainsbo's and Tesco. They also have a massive selection of it in Homebase, bizarrely enough.
