When it comes to tackling the bathroom, proper cleaning techniques are essential.

Not only is it an area prone to germ buildup, but it's also where we go to cleanse ourselves, making cleanliness a top priority.

A professional cleaner, known as "Jetlag Remedy," has generously shared her expert advice on how to achieve optimal results while avoiding common mistakes.

Taking to TikTok, Jetlag Remedy revealed her trade secrets to her followers. Her first tip emphasises the importance of allowing cleaning sprays to sit on surfaces for a few minutes before wiping them off.

According to her, this allows the spray to effectively penetrate and lift dirt and grime, making it easier to clean.

In addition to surface cleaning, she emphasises the significance of properly maintaining drains. Using a hard bristle brush can help combat unpleasant odours.

For a more thorough clean, she suggests removing the lid of the drain to access hard-to-reach areas, which can significantly improve the overall smell of the bathroom.

Addressing another common concern—bathroom odours—Jetlag Remedy advises emptying the bin weekly to prevent the accumulation of unpleasant smells.

She explains that this practise avoids having "dirty bathroom stuff" fermenting in the bin. To tackle the challenge of securing bin liners in smaller bathroom bins, she shares a helpful hack.

By using the handles of the bin liner and securing them at the bottom of the bin, she ensures that the liner stays in place.

To maintain a fresh-smelling bin, she suggests placing a cotton bud with essential oil underneath the liner.
