To descale other items such as the shower column, sprinkle baking soda and spray white vinegar pure or diluted with water. Leave to act for half an hour, then rub vigorously and rinse.

Clean the sink
The sink also tends to clog over time, despite daily care. Tartar builds up insidiously on its surface, making it even dirtier. It is therefore important to offer it a more serious cleaning from time to time.

To do this, prepare a mixture of white vinegar and baking soda, which you can dilute with a little water. Then dip a sponge in the mixture and scrub the sink. For an even more satisfactory result, sprinkle baking soda directly over the entire surface of the sink and sprinkle it with vinegar. Allow the foam to act, rub in if necessary and rinse thoroughly.

Wash the bathtub
Like the sink, the bathtub can also get dirty, its surface can become greasy, sticky or too slippery. Tartar can also accumulate on its surface, altering its original shine. Here too, vinegar is extremely effective.

You can simply use it diluted in water and spray it on the bathtub before scrubbing. You can also mix it with baking soda and lemon juice or essential oil to scent your bathtub while disinfecting it.

Shine the faucets
The faucets, whether made of copper or other materials, are one of the elements that dirty the most in the bathroom. It collects tartar, white spots and oily stains. To clean it, mix a few tablespoons of white vinegar with a liter of water and three teaspoons of baking soda. Dip a sponge in the solution and scrub the faucet until it becomes clean and shiny.

You can also heat white vinegar in the microwave for 30 seconds and soak a cloth that you will pass over the faucets while rubbing. The faucets will then be clean and shiny as in their original state.

Cleaning tile and shower joints
Bathrooms often have white coverings, in tiles or earthenware. Although aesthetic and hygienic, these coatings have the disadvantage of quickly staining and tarnishing joints.

To clean them, fill a small container with spirit vinegar and a used toothbrush. Dip the toothbrush in the vinegar and scrub the joints. The latter will regain their whiteness in a few passes. You can also sprinkle the joints with baking soda before scrubbing with the toothbrush soaked in vinegar.

Cleaning and descaling toilets
The toilet is the most difficult part of the bathroom to clean. It has many hard-to-reach corners and, in addition to scaling very quickly, making it even dirtier. To remove the tartar, ther buildup on your canvases, alcohol vinegar can prove extremely effective.
