Steam Clean the Bathroom

This post and giveaway are sponsored by HomeRight.

When I think of Fall, I think of leaves changing colors, pumpkins, canning vegetables from my garden, and…. deep cleaning! The cleaning bug starts to bite when the kids go off to school. After the kids have been home all summer making messes, it is nice to get things all scrubbed. When I think of deep cleaning, I immediately think of my SteamMachine! It is so nice to steam clean the house from top to bottom.

One of my favorite places to steam clean is in the bathroom. First of all because it has loads of germs and also because there are a ton of nooks and crannies that are hard to clean with anything else.

I start with the sink. Talk about nooks and crannies! The grooves where the metal meets the ceramic sink tend to have a lot of stuff built up. Some steam with the little scrub brush is the only way to get rid of it! And when I take the stopper out, it smells like a fish tank. I scrub that up too.

I rinse the scrub brush off and head over to the tub.

 

 

The next thing I steam clean is our tub and shower. Our tub and faucet are new so there wasn’t a ton of grime to clean up, but it is really good at getting the water spots off. Darn hard water! When the tile gets a bit more use out of it, it will be nice to use the floor attachment to clean it up.

 

 

I love the look of my cute vanity hardware, but when I wipe them off, I can never get the dust out the grooves along the edges. My SteamMachine gets the built up dust off in seconds!

 

 

Next I work my down to the vent and baseboards. The same small scrub brush attachment is great for the top of the baseboards that collect dust (especially corners!). I make sure and have a dry rag handy to wipe it all away.

 

 

Floors are next. There’s a mop head to tackle the whole floor and then I use the jet nozzle tip and the small brush tip to work on the grout.  You can see one part of the tile has been cleaned and the other hasn’t.

 

 

The last thing I steam clean is the toilet. The hinges are the worst kind of nook and cranny. The germs lurking there make my skin crawl. When the steam hits it and stuff comes out from there it is both gross and satisfying at the same time. I go ahead and steam the outside of the bowl and the base. Those knobs that cover the floor screws are also tough to clean unless you use the SteamMachine.

When I am done I scrub the tips I used in hot soapy water before putting them away for next time.

  4. Are you kidding me!… I steam clean everything despite everybody laughing at me. But I mostly need this to clean my Indian artifacts that I found in my yard. I’m so excited fingers crossed

  5. This would be so awesome to clean with as it has to be a comforting feeling knowing things like the bathroom and grout are truly clean. Thanks for the giveaway!

  7. I definitely have a hard time cleaning the underside of my range hood. I really hate cleaning it and have thought steam would make the job easier, especially since it is one of those chores I let slide until I have to clean it because I hate it so much.

  10. The bathroom!! I would do exactly what you have done in your post if I had a Home Right Steam Machine. Thanks for the give away.

  11. The toughest and most tedious place in our house for me to clean is the bathroom, especially the shower tiles. I think this would work wonders!

  12. I have extremely hard water in my area even though I have a water softener in my home. The hard water leaves a very difficult film on my bathroom fixtures, shower doors, and tub. I would love to try this on my hard water problem areas. I’d also love to try this on my cooktop around the burners and knobs.

  22. I find the shower and the area around the shower enclosure very hard to clean. I have tall ceilings and the tile of the shower is much taller than I am. It’s hard to try to get the ladder in there and balance and scrub the tile.

  25. I have a hard time getting all the ridges and corners on my kitchen cabinets clean. I would to try this on them. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  30. We moved into a new to us home 2 months ago. No matter how much I clean I still feel like I need to do more. This steamer would make me feel like it is finally clean! I would so love it!

  33. Both of my full bathrooms are old and gross looking no matter how much I clean them. I would love to have this to at least make an extra effort at getting the ick out.

  36. Stacey,
    What a wonderful tool to have in your house. I don’t think I could stop myself from using that steamer everyday! What an ingenious product!

  39. The area I hate to clean, since it’s so hard to get to, is the rim between the faucet and sink. It gets such nasty grey junk there!

  43. Oooooh, I totally get the ‘it is both gross and satisfying at the same time’…. Cleaning the bathroom is a yucky job!!

    Reply

  44. You are right – the bathroom is so hard to clean but this cleaner looks awesome! My kitchen floor is also a doozy and I can’t wait to replace it with something easier to clean.

    Reply

  47. This steam machine would be so handy everywhere, especially in the bathroom of course! I don’t have kids but I have a husband who never grew up, so… much bigger messes to clean up!

  48. Doors seem to be a continuous struggle in my house. No one seems to be able to use the handle and they leave dirty hand and finger prints all over the white doors.

  49. Bathrooms are the most challenging rooms for me to keep clean unlike my kitchen where I spend the majority of my time. In my kitchen, I easily see what needs cleaning moment to moment. A steamer would make huge improvement in both rooms, however!

  50. I tried to enter but am unable to post a comment in the Widget thing. Rafflecopter never works for me. This is a pretty neat cleaning device.

  54. This steam machine looks like it would knock a lot of time an scrubbing off of cleaning anywhere in the house! Thanks for the giveaway!

  55. Our 54 year old home has a mixture of original and ten year old fixtures that could really use a good steam cleaning! Making it even more difficult it we are on well water and hard water with several discoloring minerals make the job harder. However country living makes it all worth it!

  63. Hmmm….nice giveaway. Would definitely like to use this in the bathroom – sink, bathtub, grout, toilet. I’m a senior citizen and often wonder how much longer my rotator cuff will last for doing deep cleaning.

    Reply

  68. The bathroom is always the worst, living in a remodel it never feels thorough enough. This steamer looks like it would make it possible to deep clean the way I want!

    Reply

  69. the toilet is so gross, with a 5 and a 6 yr. old boys they stink, i would use this 2 times a month or more, thank you for the chance to win one xx

  74. My whole house but that’s more of a motivational thing, isn’t it? I’d say my kitchen gives me the most trouble. Grease and dust everywhere! Thank you for the chance to win!

  78. The corners of my refrigerator drawers is one thing. There are SO many things I could use this great steamer on…kitchen, bathroom, sewing room! Great giveaway!

  84. This would be wonderful to clean the bathroom and around the cat litter boxes. I hate to use bleach or other harsh chemicals in those areas, but little else makes me feel like I’ve really cleaned and sanitized.

  91. Hi Stacy!
    Hope all is well! I already have one of these amazing machines! And yes my bathrooms are clean and sanitized because of it!!! It’s always an exciting time when you do a give away! But I hear you’ve been busy with your summer harvest!!! You go gurl!

    Take care!

  96. I’d love this for my bathrooms. I have 3 and sometimes I feel like it takes forever to thoroughly clean them all! This would solve that problem!

    Reply

  97. i have all wood vented doors on my closets and I find it impossible to get into the nooks and crannies of these doors. Hoping the steam machine could do the job.

    Reply

  100. I find the kitchen really difficult to keep clean. Our counter is old and cracked and all sorts of gunk gets stuck in those cracks.

    Reply

  101. I would agree with anyone who dreads cleaning the bathroom as well and never, (until reading your post), would have thought of using a steam cleaner on bathroom fixtures. The tile floor, maybe but the fixtures, well that is just brilliant. Having raised 10 children, 8 of them boys, and now having grandchildren and four of our own still at home, winning a steamer just could make cleaning the bathroom less of a chore.

  105. It’s hard to keep my family room carpet clean because we have 2 kids, 2 dogs and 3 cats — one of them is always making a mess in there!

    Reply

  106. Ugh! Your vanity hardware makes me think of my kitchen hardware that gets all the greasy gunk in its creases. How does the steam cleaner work on grease?

    Reply

  110. I find it tough to clean tile grout, flooring that has “pores”, & the inner portion of sliding windows! A HomeRight SteamMachine would be just incredible!!

    Reply

  118. Definitely around the bottom of the toilet it kills my back scrubbing and I never get it all the way clean.

    Reply

  120. I hate cleaning behind the faucets and the knobs. We have hard water and the lime builds up so fast- it’s hard to clean it all off.
