The faint smell of olive oil might seem totally natural in the kitchen, but it\u2019s out of place in the bathroom.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Detail-Clean_Your_Bathroom_Fixtures\"><\/span>How to Detail-Clean Your Bathroom Fixtures<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to cleaning your bathroom fixtures, we\u2019ll strongly encourage you to use a less-is-more approach to both cleaners, the amount of force you use, and the harshness of the cleaners. While the tub and shower door in the bathroom might be pretty built-up with soap scum, the fixtures <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly don\u2019t get hit as hard (and are often more prone to scratching). With that in mind, let\u2019s start gently.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"admonishment_warning\"><p><strong>Warning:<\/strong> If any of your bathroom fixtures are oil-rubbed or have a \u201cliving\u201d finish meant to build a patina over time, use only warm water and a microfiber cloth to clean them unless otherwise instructed by the manufacturer. Using anything stronger than water or more aggressive than microfiber can damage the finish.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ol>\n<li>Fill your bowl or small bucket with warm water, a cup of vinegar, and a few drops of dish soap.<\/li>\n<li>Start by dampening your microfiber cloth and wiping down the sink faucet and handles, as well as the bath\/shower faucet and handles.<\/li>\n<li>For tricky curved parts, it\u2019s useful to hold to corners of the microfiber cloth and \u201cbuff\u201d the curve with the loop of cloth between your two hands\u2014instead of trying to dig into the area with your fingertip and the cloth.<\/li>\n<li>If the water solution and microfiber are insufficient to cut through the grime, switch to using your sponge and detail cleaning brush to lightly brush over the buildup. Be sure to test both on the underside of the faucet or an inconspicuous spot to ensure they don\u2019t scratch the finish.<\/li>\n<li>Now is a great time to wipe out the sink with your sponge and give your drain a quick cleaning. Biofilm and soap buildup is a big source of foul smells in bathrooms, so you definitely want to use your detail brush to scrub any gunk off the drain stopper and, if need be, give your drain a cleaning using these tips.<\/li>\n<li>For serious mineral buildup, wrap the area with one of the microfiber cloths and soak it with undiluted vinegar for a few minutes\u2014though be forewarned that in the case of severe mineral buildup when the buildup is removed you may find the finish is permanently discolored or pitted.<\/li>\n<li>Wipe off any remaining water with a clean and dry microfiber cloth.<\/li>\n<li>For stainless steel or chrome fixtures, wrap a clean microfiber cloth over your finger, dampen the fingertip with mineral oil, and lightly buff and wipe down all fixtures to give them a nice water spot repelling shine.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You can also clean your showerhead in the same fashion, but if there is significant mineral buildup you\u2019ll likely want to fully remove it and soak it overnight.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>That\u2019s it!
