Keeping a bathroom floor clean is notoriously difficult, as dust, hair, and stains show up clearly on tiles or laminate, especially in sunlight. A grimy floor can make the whole room look and smell unpleasant. However, a budget-friendly solution costing just 93p is gaining attention online.
Cleaning Expert Shares Simple Hack
Australian lifestyle and cleaning influencer Chantel Mila, known as @mama_mila_ on TikTok, has over 1.6 million followers. In a recent video, she shared several quick tricks to make a bathroom sparkle, including a method for tackling the floor. Her advice uses a can of shaving foam, available for 93p at Asda or £1 at Morrisons.
How to Clean the Floor with Shaving Foam
The process is straightforward: spread a thin layer of shaving foam (not gel) across tiles using a cloth or mop. Allow it to rest for 15 to 20 minutes, then wipe it away with a damp cloth or mop and dry the surface. According to Chantel, this eliminates unpleasant smells, particularly near the toilet.
Additional Uses for Shaving Foam
Shaving foam is versatile beyond floor cleaning. It can be applied to bathroom mirrors to prevent steaming during showers, reducing cleaning effort and preventing streaks. It also works on chrome fixtures like taps, handles, and showerheads when rubbed with a moist microfibre cloth, restoring their original shine. Additionally, it tackles hard water marks and limescale deposits on shower screens.
