#5 – Drain stopper

If you or a member of your family has long hair, then chances are you need to clean the drain stopper of your shower regularly (if not constantly). But for anyone who doesn’t have to deal with such an issue, then they probably forget to clean it.
Every once in a while, you need to pull out the drain stopper and then let it soak in white vinegar in order to get out the gunk that’s clinging to it. While waiting for that, you can quickly clean your drain by using vinegar and baking soda.
The process is easy and the ingredients are cheap, so don’t hesitate to give them a little care!
#6 – Loofahs

This is also another item that we ignore washing because we think it gets cleaned throughout the process of putting soap and water on it as we shower… nope!
Of course, you can throw them in the washing machine with your usual laundry detergent and on the normal cycle with the rest of your laundry.
However, it is best to hang the loofahs in the sun to dry out naturally, better than the dryer that can damage them. The sun and wind are known to be natural cleansers anyway that can kill the majority of germs.
#7 – Hair brushes

Your hair brushes might look innocent, collecting nothing but a few of your hair strands. But it collects more than that: dust, oils, hair products, and dead skin that have been building up over time on your hairbrush.
To “clean” it back to new, you should soak them in a bucket or a sink that’s filled with warm, soapy water (any dish soap can be good). Allow them to sit for a fair amount of time and then rinse them clean with water, air dry them, and then put them back to the cabinet, drawer, or wherever you keep them.
#8 – Exhaust fan

Well, it looks like it is been a while since you have looked into the exhaust fan of your bathroom, and we believe now is a good time to do so.
The exhaust fan might be making an annoying sound from time to time, but it helps to remove moisture from the air; an important job in humid rooms.
If you noticed that your fan is covered with grime and dust, then it is not doing its job as it is supposed to. Without it, your bathroom will become a breeding ground for mildew and mold. Yikes!
So don’t hesitate to get closer and clean it, it is not really as hard as you might think.
#9 – Toothbrushes

We must have heard this since the age of 5, but we never really understand the importance of disinfecting our toothbrushes until we understood the meaning of tooth pain and exposing our mouths to the dentists. Your toothbrush can carry many bacteria and germs that can end up inside your mouth, and eventually, within your guts.
Other than you need to change your toothbrush within 3 – 6 months, you should also disinfect it regularly by soaking it overnight in a cup of warm water and 10 drops of tea tree essential oil. The perfect amount to do it is once a week, so don’t hesitate to apply it for a healthier and cleaner mouth.
