Bathroom Cleaners

Multipurpose bathroom cleaning supplies

For many people, the convenience of an all-purpose cleaner makes it the natural choice for their home or office bathrooms. These cleaners use ingredients that efficiently eliminate germs on most bathroom surfaces, allowing custodians to use the same cleaner throughout the room. This is an optimal choice for cleaning staff who have strict time limits or who clean multiple bathrooms each day. Multipurpose bathroom cleaning supplies come in a variety of formulas, including aerosol sprays and misting sprays. Multipurpose cleansers are carefully formulated to safely clean surfaces that can't handle harsh ingredients. Consider keeping bulk paper towels on hand to quickly wipe up trace amounts of cleaning products and protect those who use the restroom after cleaning is complete.

Single-surface bathroom cleaning products

To minimize the spread of germs and keep restrooms as clean as possible, single-surface cleansers address the specific cleaning needs of each surface. There are formulas for many bathroom surfaces and items.

• Toilet bowl cleaner
• Soap scum remover for showers
• Urinal cleaner
• Tub and tile spray

Consider using these items if you have more time to switch between different janitorial supplies in each cleaning session. These items are also a safer choice in areas where germs spread quickly, such as hospitals and schools. They work well to kill germs and bacteria in areas with immunocompromised populations, such as nursing homes, hospitals, and childcare centers.

Active ingredients in bathroom cleaners

Bathroom cleaning products use a range of active ingredients to address specific types of germs, built-up stains, and health risks. Products with fungicidal ingredients combat mold and mildew, both of which are common in damp environments like bathrooms. Hydrogen peroxide formulas offer a mild alternative to bleach, cutting through lime scale and rust while eliminating soap scum. Some bathroom cleaners, particularly those designed for toilet bowls, use bleach. This is safe as long as people do not come into contact with the liquid. Bleach acts as a deodorizing agent, lifts stains, and kills germs on contact. Bathroom cleaners such as disinfectant wipes bulk packages, usually have milder ingredients that are safe for human contact.
