Other Methods to Get Rid of Bad Smells in the Bathroom

Ventilation

Ventilation is the most effective way to keep your bathroom smelling fresh. Ensure good air circulation by opening a window or using a fan. Leave the door open when not in use to promote air circulation.

Frequent Cleaning

Regular cleaning of all bathroom elements (sink, toilet, bathtub, shower, and floor) is essential to eliminate dirt and musty odors.

Daily Disinfection

Disinfection helps avoid contamination by germs, bacteria, and fungi. Use an alcohol spray and a microfiber cloth to clean complex surfaces daily (toilet, bidet, faucets, and sink).

Cleaning the Walls

Cleaning the walls prevents the accumulation of excessive humidity, which can lead to the growth of fungi and mold that create foul odors. Clean the tiles well and let them dry after each bath.

By following these tips, you can enjoy a fresh, clean bathroom free of unpleasant odors!
