COVERED in stubborn limescale, unsightly grout and sticky soap residue, your bathroom is amongst the filthiest places in your home.

With so many different products in the market and what feels like a never-ending stream of cleaning hacks, it's easy to get lost and overwhelmed.

Luckily, offering a helping hand to navigate you through all the How Tos, a cleanfluencer has shared his top tips to make your once dirty bathroom sparkle like new.

Chatting to Fabulous, Steve (@cleaningandme), from Liverpool, listed five simple hacks that are bound to become a staple in your weekly routine.

Removing water stains from metal fixtures

''The best trick for removing those stubborn watermarks on bathroom fixtures is to use your favourite multi-surface cleaning product, applied neat.''

Though the options are endless, the guru recommended Multi-Surface Concentrate by Method.

According to the cleaning pro, all you need to do is add a few drops to a wet cloth and gently wipe for a quick and easy clean.

''Your bathroom will be so happy, you might even hear your bathroom taps doing a little tap dance!'' he chucked.

Make your shower glass sparkle again

The trick here, the expert explained, is using a good quality product – and a little patience.

Steve likes to use the same concentrate as above, just diluted in a spray bottle (10ml of concentrate per 100ml bottle is perfect) to spray the tiles and shower door.

Let's go natural!

Whilst store-bought products are effective, sometimes the answer to a clean bathroom sits in your kitchen – and the 50-year-old is a fan of natural remedies too.

''My go-to natural cleaner for bathrooms is white vinegar for glass shower doors and tiles. Spray, then leave for 10 mins or so.

''The acid in the vinegar will remove soap scum and lime scale,'' he explained.

''Next, wipe and buff for a great clean and shine. This solution is also ideal for cleaning the toilet, as white vinegar is a natural disinfectant.''

Adios to grim grout marks on flooring

Although cleaning the grout might take a little more time – it's worth the effort.

Use your favourite cleaning product and let it sit on the tiles for 15-20 minutes – Steve likes to use this time to give his bath a good clean whilst waiting.

''Next, I grab a clean cloth and give the grouted areas a good wipe and… Ta-dah! Sparkling clean!''

Mirror, mirror on the wall…

… who's the cleanest of them all?

When getting ready in the morning, nothing's as important as a clean mirror – after all, it's impossible to do your make-up or hair when you can't see what's going on.

For this, Steve recommended Method's Glass Cleaner Spray, which retails for less than a fiver.

''It will leave a bathroom mirror shining in seconds, and chrome bathroom fittings also like to join in with this cleaning happiness too!''
