A clean bathroom makes you feel good and is also a showpiece of your home. With the right products, cleaning is quick, easy, and can almost be done in passing.

Frequently asked questions about hygiene in the bathroom
Why is hygiene so important in the bathroom?
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 mould to form more quickly on shower curtains, along joints and in corners. Thorough cleaning and proper ventilation can prevent mould formation.
Bad odours 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.
Which areas are often overlooked when cleaning the bathroom?
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 WC
- 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.
How do you clean the toilet properly?
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 WC in perfect condition.
What helps to stop bad odours in the bathroom?
Unpleasant odours in the bathroom are not only caused by using the WC – excessive moisture, blocked drains or poor ventilation can also result in a smelly bathroom.
Damp areas in particulardon’t take long to smell musty. The overflow can give off unpleasant odours if it is not cleaned regularly. Rubbish bins and traps should also be kept clean. To prevent towels from developing a bad odour, they should dry quickly after use.
By cleaning rigorously and keeping wet zones dry, you can prevent bad odours in the bathroom.
How do you prevent mould in the bathroom?
Mould 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:
- Correct ventilation
- Effective sealing and insulation of the room
- Heating the bathroom
- Not hanging up wet clothes
- Drying wet towels and bath mats immediately
- Setting up a dehumidifier
