‘I’m a cleaning fanatic – and these are 5 places you forget to clean’

A cleaning fanatic has shared some pearls of wisdom for anyone who needs to do a deep clean of their bathroom.

Lese Mmolotsi regularly shares quick and easy cleaning tips, but in one of her most recent videos, she’s flagged something important.

The cleaner advised her followers about five ‘forgotten’ places they may forget to target when they’re in the bathroom.

So while you’re scrubbing away at the toilet or shower, turn your attention to your toothbrush holder, toilet brush and its holder, toilet seat and the toilet’s surroundings, and your sink.

To carry out some thorough cleaning of the toothbrush and toilet brush holder, simply add a generous amount of baking soda and hot water.

Once left for a few minutes, rinse out and it should look brand new. Lese recommended cleaning these once a week.

As opposed to cleaning toilet seats with conventional products, Lese suggested steam cleaning once a week instead.

To scrub and make the floor around the toilet brand new, Lese used shaving foam before using hot water to mop the floor.

And lastly, a favourite cleaning method, baking soda and vinegar can be used with hot water to sparkle your sinks. This should be done every two weeks.

Lese captioned the video, sharing her advice: “5 most forgotten places to clean in your bathroom. 1. Toothbrush Holder: soak it with baking soda and hot water. 2. Toilet brush/holder: Use baking soda and hot water once a week.

“3. Toilet seat: I normally steam clean mine, once a week. 4. Around the Toilet: I use shaving cream to scrub and hot water to mop the floor. 5. Sinks: Use baking soda (vinegar Optional) and hot water every fortnight.”

Lese’s video has already been viewed over a massive 6.1million times, with other cleaning fans sharing their thoughts on bathroom cleaning.

One person said: “I will never understand why people leave their toothbrushes in the washroom. Washrooms are full of bacteria not matter how clean you are! just buy a new toothbrush.”

@laprimrosabella wrote: “Your bathroom must be pretty grubby if these are the places and things you forget about.

“I’d say they are the obvious places you would clean especially around the toilet itself. As for the germ ridden brush, bin it and get a silicone brush they are much easier to keep clean.”

@tshepi_sei suggested: “Use a silicone toilet brush and your life will never be the same again.”

@justneshaa__ wrote, “I wish I would’ve known this before I threw my tooth brush holder away,” while @cleaning_at_44 agreed, “So using the bicarb on our toothbrush holders.”

@eliot11_ advised: “Put the dettol wipe inside the toothbrush holder and let the miracle happen you will never see that dirt again try it and you’ll thank me later.”
