10 Top Tips On How Best To Clean Your Shower Screen

10 Top Tips On How Best To Clean Your Shower Screen

Even though shower screens do not attract dirt and grime as much as shower curtains do, it does not mean that they do not need cleaning at all. Given that a shower is where you and your family clean yourselves, it stands to reason that some of what you wash off will land on the shower screen. In addition, tiny particles in the water can also end up causing water marks, plus there might be spillages of liquid soap, shampoos, and conditioners that cause soap scum.

All of this means that your shower screen will need cleaning, and we suggest that the more often you do so, the longer they will continue to look great. So, how do you clean shower screens? Well, we don’t just have one tip to help you do so; we have no fewer than ten top tips to help you clean your shower screen.

Shower Screen Cleaning Top Tip #1 – Clean With Vinegar/Dish Soap

Usually, a mix of 1:1 vinegar and dish soap in a spray bottle of water will suffice. Spray the solution onto the shower screen, wait 20 minutes and then wipe off with a cloth.

Shower Screen Cleaning Top Tip #2 – Clean With Baking Soda 

Mix baking soda with water to make a cleaning paste. Applying the cleaning paste to your shower screen using a sponge is a great way to get rid of soap scum.

Shower Screen Cleaning Top Tip #3 – Clean With Ammonia

Ensure that you open the bathroom window and wear gloves if using ammonia. Add the ammonia to water in a spray bottle in a mix of 1 part ammonia to 3 parts water. Spray onto the shower screen, and whilst it is still wet, scrub to clean. Rinse all parts of your shower thoroughly to ensure all ammonia traces are gone.

Top Bathroom Cabinet Trends of 2021

When you’re thinking about renovating your bathroom, it can be hard to know where to start. Sure, a cabinet maker can offer some helpful advice on cabinetry types. Still, it’s also convenient if you can at least decide on a style you prefer before you start looking in earnest.

One of the most important things to consider is what will not only be on-trend today but remain so for years to come. A bathroom renovation is not something you will want to be doing too often. Check out some of these top bathroom cabinet trends of 2021 below to give yourself a starting point.

Floating Vanities

For the last few years, floating vanities have been growing in popularity by the day, and 2021 is proving to be no different. They are available in a variety of styles and sizes, and their off-the-ground styling can make a bathroom look much larger than it is.

What’s more, you can store items underneath them, such as spare toilet paper or the bathroom scale that never seems to have somewhere to live.

Floating vanities, which are also called wall-mount bathroom vanities, tend to be ideal for contemporary homes. However, that’s not to say they wouldn’t fit in with homes of a classic style. You can choose complete units with countertops and sinks or mix and match to ensure you have the most seamless style for your home.

How To Safely Clean Composite Decking

How To Safely Clean Composite Decking

One of the biggest advantages of composite decking over decking made from other materials, such as timber, is that it requires a lot less maintenance, meaning less need for deck repairs.

For many, this is the clincher in terms of choosing which decking they buy, not just because you do not need to spend as much time maintaining composite decking, but because it also costs a lot less to maintain. Given that decking will likely last many years, over time, the savings made due to fewer maintenance costs will be considerable.

This is not a mere luxury element any more. With the evolution of residential apartments into complexes with multiple stages and even home offices, residential elevators have become a necessity.

Naturally, engineering and design joined forces and after a number of trials and errors, and the elimination of several models of residential lifts, four primary kinds of elevator designs emerged as the winners. These are the most commonly used home elevators, and each of them have their own unique features, as we will learn further.
