How To Keep Your Bathroom Odour Free This Summer

Sweltering summers are here and a quick bath always comes to the rescue. For that instant relief from the heat, you just need a quick cold shower. You step out feeling refreshed. But you leave behind all the heat. No wonder why a lot of us struggle to keep it clean and smell-free during the summer. So, here we thought of bringing you some quick hacks to keep your bathroom odour free this season.

Ventilation Is The Key

Do you keep the bathroom windows closed after a long shower? Well, that could be the reason why your bathroom doesn't smell good. To keep the smell at bay, make sure you open your bathroom windows for at least 10 to 15 minutes. This will help ventilate the space. Remember that it is the excess moisture in the air that adds to the stinky smell. If you don't have windows, turn on the bathroom fan for ventilation.

Be Regular With Cleaning

Don't keep bathroom cleaning for month end. Everyday cleaning will go a long way. If not daily, make it a point to give your bathroom a quick clean once a week. Wipe down the sink, take out the trash and wash the bathroom floor.

For the sink and drains, you can use this easy DIY. Mix a cup of baking soda and vinegar. Pour the mixture into the sink and drains. Let it sit for five minutes and then pour running hot water. This will keep your bathroom clean and odour-free.

To keep the bathroom floor clean and smell-free, prepare a mix of soap and water. Pour and clean the floor with a mop. Make sure you are careful while doing this as the floor will get slippery with the soapy mixture. Also, don't forget to regularly wash your towels and bathmat. If required, get professional help once a month.
