2torial #0444: Learn2 Clean a Bathroom (Continued) Keep it clean! Now that you've got it all spic and span, let's take a look at the steps you can take to keep it that way: If water spots are a big problem, it may be that your tap water is too hard. If this really bothers you, look into a household filtration or water softening system. Otherwise, smile and make friends with a few waterstains. If your basin, shower or tub are slow to drain, they're probably retaining more grunge as a result (the stuff concentrates as it waits to be slurped away). If mildew keeps coming back despite your cleaning efforts, try to keep the door open as much as possible--pull the shower curtains back too. If that doesn't do the the trick, place a moisture capture device in the room--you can buy them at most hardware stores. These are usually plastic tubs containing silica or calcium chloride granules; the granules draw moisture into the tub, where it condenses into water. Don't forget to check yours periodically, and dump out the water before it re-evaporates into moisture. -end- Learn More! or All steps at once (printable version)
