Cleaning showerheads weekly and performing a deep clean at least once a month is recommended. This practice eliminates bacteria and deposits while improving water flow and pressure.

2.Soak the Showerhead

Deep soaking removes stubborn residue:1.White vinegar: Fill a plastic bag with vinegar, secure it around the showerhead, and soak for 15–30 minutes. Rinse with warm water and scrub. Alternatives: apple cider vinegar or lemon juice.2.Denture cleaning tablets: Dissolve two tablets in warm water, secure the bag, and soak for several hours or overnight.

3.Clean the Filter

Tips for Cleaning Toilet Floor Tiles

Cleaning toilet floor tiles is a crucial step in maintaining hygiene and cleanliness. Here are some commonly used methods and recommendations:

Daily Cleaning:
Regularly cleaning toilet floor tiles can prevent dirt and stains from accumulating. Use a broom or vacuum machine to remove dust and debris, then gently wipe the tile surface with a damp mop. Avoid using excessive water to prevent it from seeping into the tile joints.

Stain Treatment:
If there are stains on the floor tiles, you can use a mild cleaner or a specialized porcelain tile cleaner. Spray the cleaner evenly on the stains, let it sit for a moment, gently scrub with a brush, and then wipe clean with water.

Avoid Chemical Damage:
Avoid using overly strong chemical cleaners, especially those with acidic components, as they may damage the tile surface. Choose products that are gentle and suitable for porcelain tile cleaning, or consider using homemade natural cleaners, such as a mixture of vinegar and water.

Abrasive Cleaner:
If the tile surface has stubborn stains or tough-to-remove dirt, you can use an abrasive cleaner for deep cleaning. Choose an abrasive cleaner suitable for porcelain tiles, follow the product instructions, gently scrub the tile surface, and then rinse clean with water.

Regular Sealing:
For certain toilet floor tiles, especially those made of stone, regular sealing can enhance their waterproofing and stain resistance. Choose a sealer appropriate for the tile material, follow the instructions for application to protect the tile surface.
