(BPT) The sun is shining and the weather is warming up, which means it's spring cleaning season. When it's time to give your kitchen or bathroom a deep clean, you'll wish there was a way to make the job faster and easier.
To maintain the sense of accomplishment that comes from a sparkling clean home, Delta Faucet has thoughtful kitchen and bathroom products to help you sustain your efforts this spring (and beyond!).
Make cleaning your kitchen easier
The kitchen is the heart of the home, so it's important to keep it looking and feeling clean, but heavy use throughout the day can make this especially difficult. When spring cleaning, start from the top of the room, wiping down the kitchen cabinets first, then the counters, sink, and stove, saving the floors for last.
After you've done a thorough cleaning, get into the habit of wiping up spills between cooking sessions or immediately after. This will prevent food from getting stuck and becoming difficult to remove. Keep a damp cloth handy to make this easier.
Make sure everything you need for cleaning is within easy reach. An under-sink trash can can store kitchen essentials, but make sure it is intended for kitchen use only. Avoid making this a catch-all for other items to make it easier for everyone to find kitchen cleaning supplies. Avoid abrasive products and “all-purpose bathroom cleaners” as they can damage kitchen and bathroom finishes.
Upgrade your faucet
One of the most common kitchen pain points is keeping your faucet clean and free of fingerprints, dirt and water marks. Luckily, Delta®'s new Trinsic® Touch2O® kitchen faucet with Touchless™ technology helps prevent dirt buildup and keeps you away from dirty hands. This technology eliminates the daily manipulations that make your kitchen faucet look messy, allowing you to choose the function that's easiest for your family. Prefer to turn the water on and off by gently touching any part of the faucet with the back of your hand? No problem, Touch2O® technology has you covered. Don't want to use your hands at all? Delta's Touch2O® with Touchless™ technology lets you turn your faucet on and off simply by placing your hand near the faucet, helping you spend less time cleaning.
To prevent mineral buildup and hard water stains on your faucets, Delta® also offers a Lumicoat® finish on select collections. This finish repels liquids, prevents limescale, and keeps your accessories cleaner for longer. Simply wipe clean with a soft cloth – no cleaners or chemicals needed.
The struggle to clean the bathroom
Keeping your bathroom clean can seem like a never-ending challenge. Again, to make this task easier, it's essential to have all your cleaning supplies on hand in an easy-to-carry caddy or container. Start with the dirtiest areas first, such as the toilet, and keep the brushes and sponges you use for that task separate from those for the bathtub and sink.
For hard water stains and soap scum, a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water is extremely effective. Use this mixture in a spray bottle to easily clean surfaces like shower glass. Spray on stained area, leave on for 20 minutes, then wipe and rinse.
Bathroom upgrades for enhanced cleaning practices
To keep your shower surface clean and your bathtub free of grime, try the Delta® ProClean™ 6 Setting Hand Shower. This hand shower cleans shower surfaces at least twice as fast as a standard sprayer, removing soap scum and shower grime. Perfect for an easy DIY upgrade, the ProClean™ Hand Shower keeps your shower and tiles clean and reduces soap scum buildup with regular use. Intensive, wide fan spray makes it easy to clean hard-to-reach areas without having to step into the shower. While other products build up unsightly minerals over time, the soft rubber Touch-Clean® spray holes allow you to easily wipe away mineral residue for an instantly refreshed look.
Between frequently washing your hands, brushing your teeth, and other grooming routines, keeping your bathroom sink and faucet clean can seem impossible. One way to meet this challenge is with a Delta® Stryke® Single Handle Pull-Down Bathroom Faucet. This faucet features a pull-down spray wand that quickly clears toothpaste, dirt, and small debris from your sink.
With these tips and the latest kitchen and bathroom fixtures, you can keep the key spaces in your home looking great this spring and all year long.
