Improved hygiene in the bathroom Minimum effort, maximum cleanliness

The bathroom is a wet room where germs and bacteria can easily multiply. Without regular cleaning, they can spread quickly. The high humidity can cause mold to form more quickly on shower curtains, along joints, and in corners. Thorough cleaning and proper ventilation can prevent mold formation.

Bad odors caused by a blocked trap, by the toilet, or by dirt impair your well-being. Personal hygiene is more relaxing and more pleasant in a clean bathroom.

Regular maintenance of the sanitary appliances extends their service life and saves repair costs.

Some areas are often overlooked when cleaning the bathroom, even though dirt can accumulate there. These include:

• Door handles and light switches
• Surfaces under and behind the toilet
• Toothbrush containers and soap dishes
• Radiators and ventilation units
• Shelves in the mirror cabinet

When it comes to hygiene in the bathroom, it is also important to ensure hygienic, safe drinking water and prevent legionella in the bathroom.

Regular cleaning is important because a clean toilet and clean air contribute significantly to a pleasant ambience. However, limescale or urine scale can quickly build up in hard-to-reach places. With our tips, you can keep your toilet in perfect condition.

Unpleasant odors in the bathroom are not only caused by using the toilet – excessive moisture, blocked drains, or poor ventilation can also result in a smelly bathroom.

Damp areas in particular don’t take long to smell musty. The overflow can give off unpleasant odors if it is not cleaned regularly. Rubbish bins and traps should also be kept clean. To prevent towels from developing a bad odor, they should dry quickly after use.

By cleaning rigorously and keeping wet zones dry, you can prevent bad odors in the bathroom.

Mold in the bathroom can have various causes. In general, the humidity in the room should be kept low. This can be achieved with the following tips:

1. Correct ventilation
2. Effective sealing and insulation of the room
3. Heating the bathroom
4. Not hanging up wet clothes
5. Drying wet towels and bath mats immediately
6. Setting up a dehumidifier

Regular cleaning of the bathroom improves hygiene and well-being. This includes removing dust, thoroughly cleaning the toilet and shower, and wiping all ceramic surfaces.

An easy-to-clean design is an important consideration when designing a new bathroom or renovating an existing one. Smart product selection and functional furnishings and equipment make it easier to keep the bathroom clean for longer:

• Wall-hung toilets make mopping the floor easier, as dust and dirt can be easily removed from underneath.
• Special glaze on ceramic surfaces has a dirt-repellent effect, keeping washbasins and toilets clean for longer.
• Floor-level showers avoid hard-to-reach corners where dirt can easily accumulate.
• Flat shower channels are easy to wipe clean and reliably catch hair thanks to the integrated comb insert.
• Touchless toilet flushes increase hygiene, as they function without hand contact.
