Brightening up a old bathroom with deep cleaning

If you find that your old bathroom just doesn't seem to look clean no matter how much you scrub, it can be a good idea to get a cleaning service in to give it a good deep clean. Here are some of the things that a cleaning service can do to brighten up your bathroom. 

Cleaning tile and grout

It can be really hard to get a good cleaning deep in the grout in an older bathroom, but if the grout is not cleaned fully it's very easy for soap, dirt, mildew and grime to build up in the gaps. Professional cleaners can use their equipment to deeply clean in the tiles and grout and remove all of the grime, mould and mildew. They can also use antibacterial or anti-fungal agents to kill the non-visible mould spores which lead to the mould growing back quickly. Tile and grout cleaning can help the room to look brighter and fresher and make it easier to clean each week. 

Cleaning exhaust fans and circulation fans

You may not think about fans affecting the way that your bathroom looks, but having a fan that is dirty or dusty can lead to dirty air circulating through the bathroom. It can also lead to the ineffective removal of steam from the bathroom. This can make your bathroom more susceptible to mould and mildew, as well as making the bathroom look dusty and unclean. A cleaner can clean and remove fan blades as well as cleaning filters to make sure that your exhaust fans work correctly and steam is getting extracted (with clean air being circulated). 

Scrubbing the walls

Walls can often build up grime slowly over a long period of time, which leads to a dull finish. It can be useful to get a professional cleaner to scrub or steam the walls to get them back to their original colour (or as close as possible). 

Cleaning light fixtures

Another really simple way to make your bathroom brighter is by cleaning the light fixtures. Unfortunately, light fixtures can, if not absolutely airtight, attract bugs that climb inside and then die inside the fitting. Light fixtures can also attract dust. By removing the fixtures and cleaning out any debris, you can make your light fixtures transmit more light so that the room appears brighter and more cheerful. 

As you can see, it can be useful to get professional cleaning services in to give your bathroom a deep clean if you are finding it hard to get the bathroom looking clean with normal cleaning routines.
