The COVID-19 crisis has given more importance, if possible, to good cleaning and disinfection of all spaces in the house, particularly from the bathroom. The famous bathroom equipment firm, Gala, has produced a “Guide to the correct disinfection and hygiene in the bathroom”, adapting the recommendations of the Ministry of Health to prevent the spread of the coronavirus to the proper maintenance of bathroom furniture, ensuring that it lasts longer in the best conditions. It allows us to ensure that our bathroom is perfect in terms of cleaning and disinfection in 10 easy steps.
-
It is important to make a daily cleaning of surfaces with greater contact: knobs, switches, countertops, taps … To do this, simply use a cloth dampened in soapy water, which will then be washed at 60ºC. They can also serve us disposable cleaning wipes like those of Cif that are on Amazon at a price of 16.99 euros.

For a correct disinfection of the bathroom, it is essential to a preliminary superficial cleaning, which removes dust or dirt.

- The toilet is the equipment that accumulates the most germs and bacteria; it is important to clean separately from the rest of the furniture, assigning a rag and a sponge especially to this piece. The toilet bowl is disinfected, inside and outside, with a mixture of water and bleach (10 mL of bleach per 490 mL of water) and a sponge. A metal scouring pad should never be used as it may damage the porcelain surface. After the bleach, rinse with water and dry with a clean cloth.
-
The toilet seat and lid, due to their manufacturing characteristics, must not be disinfected with bleach; cleaning is done with a sponge or cloth dampened in soap and water. Along the same lines, if you put an abrasive disinfectant product in the bucket, it is important not to lower the lid, since the emission of gases can damage the toilet lid.
-
The bathtub, shower and sink are disinfected with the same mix of water and bleach as the toilet, but taking the precaution of using a cloth other than that used in the toilet. Microfiber cloths are inexpensive and usually work very well, Vileda ones cost Amazon € 6.90 a set of eight.

The bathroom furniture is cleaned, always, with soap and water and a non-scratch cloth or sponge the surface.
-
For the screen disinfection You can use the same mixture of water and bleach as in other equipment, but in this case you have to differentiate the cleaning of the profiles and the glass. Start by applying the mixture directly with a rag or a sprayer to the profiles, rinse with water and dry well with a clean cloth. Do the same with the leaves, but, so that the glass shines and there are no marks of cleaning, after disinfecting with bleach, clean with a glass cleaner or soap and water and dry very well.
-
Accessories, such as soap dishes or a toothbrush holder, can be cleaned in the dishwasher. If you do not have it, maybe it is time to incorporate one even a mini one like the one in Klarstein that costs 339.99 euros.

Investing in the right equipment is also recommended. For example, Gala’s rimless toilets guarantee optimal hygiene with very little work, since thanks to their flangeless design, dirt residues are prevented from accumulating in nooks that are difficult to access, as is the case with other conventional toilets. In addition, Gala has also incorporated into its rimless toilets an innovative flush system that allows water to reach the entire interior surface of the bucket, favoring its correct cleaning after each use … It is important to pay attention to these details at the time to buy.
-
Similarly, it may be interesting to bet on the electronic faucet, which is operated simply by bringing your hand closer to the sensor from the tap. This solution, traditionally reserved for public spaces, can also be a great solution to prevent the transmission of microorganisms in the home faucet, since it avoids touching the tap before proceeding to handwash.
