How to make your bathroom more hygienic and easier to clean

Cleaning the bathroom is, without a doubt, one of the most demanding and usually least desirable household tasks. It must be done thoroughly and conscientiously to completely eliminate the germs that accumulate in it, due to the fac that it's ovbiously one of the most intensively used rooms in the house. However, as time is something that we never have enough of, technology and new trends have once again been put at the service of people to achieve a better bathroom in terms of space, design and cleanliness. How can this be achieved? It is much simpler than it seems. Here are the keys according to Alfredo Cabezas, the marketing and communication director of Geberit Iberia, a company which specialises in manufacturing and supplying sanitary parts and related systems.

Say goodbye to tricky corners 

One of the biggest sources of dirt accumulation are the corners formed between the floor and the wall. In that case, why not embed the cistern and suspend the toilet, sink and furniture so that everything is free of obstacles? In this way, not only will you manage to give a modern vibe to the room but you will also gain in hygiene and ease of cleaning.

More hygienic toilets 

Another of the most controversial points in the bathroom is the part of the toilet bowl used for the discharge of water from traditional toilets. No matter how many products are used, keeping it completely clean is almost impossible. Nowadays, the most hygienic thing is to choose models that have eliminated those unhygienic rims from the bowl. As the corners disappear, cleaning the area is more comfortable, accessible and simple.

Easier to clean showers

Changing the bathtub for a shower tray is a very common renovation. However, if you are really looking for a hygienic solution, the best option is to opt for a floor-integrated shower. The most important thing is to choose an efficient drainage system. There are systems that make the water disappear behind the wall by means of a built-in installation system, or others that prevent the accumulation of dirt by draining the water through a small collector. The good thing is that both systems allow you to have a continuous shower, without interruptions and without hidden areas where dirt and bad odours can accumulate. The only thing that will remain visible will be a rim that hides a hair filter, which is very easy to remove for cleaning, and also prevents drain blockages.

Special enamel to prevent dirt from sticking

An important detail that will bring a hygiene plus to every bathroom is using sanitary porcelain finishes. There are special glazes such as KeraTect especially for bathrooms, which help you achieve a 100% smooth surface. This prevents dirt and sediment from building up, improving hygiene and making cleaning even easier in the bathroom.
