I need to make a bathroom spotless and I do mean spotless. What order do you follow when you clean a bathroom as in what do you start first, etc. etc. Any special tips or tricks for cleaning a bathroom?
this is what I do: Step 1: I use toliet cleaner in the toliet and let that soak and disinfect while im doing other things. Step 2: I start with cleaning the sink, counter, faucet with a cleaner such as pine sol cause i like the smell or a bleach cleaner for a more disinfectent cleaning. I also clean the sink first because any dirt or debris on the sink will fall on floor. Step 3: Clean the toliet. Starting with the outside, moving behind the toliet seat and getting the sides of the tank with a bleach cleaner to disinfect. Then i move on with the toliet lid, seat both sides and the actual main toliet the rim, sides, and underneath the toliet on the far far sides. ( this area seems to collect alot of dust and dirt) then lastly i clean the inside of the toliet with a brush and not flushing so i can let it soak even more. Step 4: If its nesseacary to clean the walls then clean them with a wall cleaner or a pine sol. If theres mold clean with proxide, i know you hear often to clean with bleach but proxide is not as concentraded as bleach and works better at killing the mold. Step 5: Clean the bath tub. If it is unbelivable dirty with ungodly stains and what not soak the tub with bleach. Then go back with a sos pad or a very strong sturdy pad and scrub in well venalated area then after that or if its not that bad just needs a good clean with an awsome shine, what i use is Comet Powder and a sponge. I start from the sides while standing inside the bath tub and once im done with the sides i get out of the bathtub and scrub the actual tub. If you have tile in ur tub and there are mildew spots i would suggest spot cleaning those areas with bleach and a grout scrubber which are sold at stores for like a dollar and are really really tough. Once im done with that i rinse the tub out wipe the top and outside tub part off with a sponge. Step 6: leave the mirror for last just incase u splash something up, use windex and paper towels for the mirror and light fixtures. Step 7: Sweep floor Step 8: Empty trash. Step 9: Spot clean hidden cornors and cracks in the floor such as the base board or cornors around the tub and around sinks and behind the toliet. After getting into the cracks and cravas’s take a swifter wet jet or if u have a perfered way of mopping and mop leaving that for last. Step 10: Remeber to reguarly keep display or special occasion hand towels washed even if they arent used. Wash alll bathroom rugs about once a week, and if you would like to add that finishing touch fold the toliet paper into a triangle and tuck it under

I am refitting my whole bathroom suite, and will be tiling the walls andf loors. I would like to know if it is best, for the walls, to remove the existing suite, tile all the walls and then fit the new suite against the tiles, or is it best to fit the suite, and then tile round it (means cutting more tiles). I also would like to know the same for floor tiles. Is it best to tile around the bottom of the sink pedestal and toilet, or is it a better idea to lift these two, install a whole floor of tiles, and then to place the suite back down on top of the tiles? Thanks in advance Matt
It is way easier from a tiling perspective to tile and then install the fixtures. Not as much hard to cut angles etc. It will look more professional and the edges will be cleaner. You should finish off by sealing the grout with a really good sealer. I have found out the hard way that skimping on the sealer (buy the most expensive one you can find) leads to way more problems in the end. One area where you really get what you pay for!

I have looked at websites until it feels like my eyes are crossed but I haven’t found any that have great information about small bathrooms. Most seem to concentrate on the large, expansive, wonderful bathrooms. I’d love one of those of course, but I don’t have the space.
Most companies are going to focus on large rooms so they can showcase more design elements of their product. This site lets you look at some generic set ups and change tile/wall colors. You can pay $15 to get software to load pictures of your bathroom and then create your own images. http://daltileproducts.com/dar.cfm

This is probably an odd question, but does anyone know of a website with lots and lots of pictures of bathrooms, living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens that have been decorated nicely? I would like to flip through a bunch of pictures to get some inspiration for choosing paint/curtains/etc and I have no idea what colors look good together or what style I’m going for.
I think you are going about it the right way. Collecting a bunch of images you like would be what the first thing even an interior designer would advise you to do, atleast to let him/her know the feel of what you like. I would recommend this site for you: http://www.home-designing.com/ They have tons of images of living, bedroom, baths, kitchens, home offices, etc.. Just browse through the categories.

Last night a bottle of one of my haircare products spilled on the floor near the bathroom sink as I rushed arounf this morning I didn’t notice it. i came home this after noon and I now have a neon yellow stain and I don’t know what to use to get it off if it will come off. I tried using the fantastic spray that was in the bathroom already but nothing came out would I use bleach or what??? Please help!
Dilute the bleach and spray—count to 10–then wipe see what happens,if lighter,try again—then mop the whole bathroom to make sure it all came up…..

We have just bought a small (480 sq ft) small house with no basement to renovate and resell. It has one bedroom, small living room and very small kitchen and even smaller bathroom. The lot is big so we have already dug a hole, poured foundation and are planning on moving the house on top of the new foundation. So, the basement will have 2 bedrooms, full bathroom, laundry room and the mainfloor bedroom will be opened up to make a bigger living room. Ok…here comes the question…would you take the bathroom out on the mainfloor and open the kitchen or would you take the tub out (it’s only a 4 ft long old tub) and keep a bathroom upstairs and keep the small kitchen? I think bigger kitchen no bathroom and my husband thinks the opposite. Please let me know your opinion.
Everone who buys a home looks for both conveniences, a good size kithchen and an uncramped bathroom. Go for enlarging the kitchen. You spend more time in there. If extra money is available, the bathroom on the main floor will add a bonus in selling the house.
