If you do not like the idea of buying a specially made product for clearing mirrors, then you can make a non-toxic one yourself. Just prepare a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and bicarbonate rub in on the surface to be cleaned. Alternatively, if you are in "emergency", you can use common shaving cream and you will get a shiny mirror that will not even fog up!

One way to thoroughly clean the bathtub is to mix in a container, baking soda (1 tablespoon), vinegar (half a glass), denatured alcohol (1 glass) and water (3 glasses). Sprinkle the cleaning detergent so obtained on the entire surface to be treated and let it soak for at least 15 minutes, then scrape it with a sponge and finally rinse off any residual dirt.

The toilet can be safely cleaned with any emergency products that you definitely already have on hand. In a container, put a little toothpaste and water container, shake well and pour it into the toilet bowl, trying to start from the inner rim. Let the mixture act for ten minutes then rub with the toilet brush and finally rinse. Alternatively, you can use some mouthwash!

Yes, because the dust does not accumulate only on the floor but everywhere! In a bucket, combine warm water and vinegar in equal parts, wet a floor cloth with the liquid, then squeeze it well and use it to clean the bathroom ceiling. 

We remind you that while doing any of these cleaning procedures, it is always good to wear rubber gloves to protect your skin and prevent any kind of irritation.
