Other methods to get rid of bad smells in the bathroom
Ventilation
Ventilation is the most effective way to keep your bathroom smelling fresh. Ensure good air circulation by opening a window or using a fan. Leave the door open when not in use to promote air circulation.
Frequent cleaning
Regular cleaning of all bathroom elements (sink, toilet, bathtub, shower and floor) is essential to eliminate dirt and musty odors.
Daily disinfection
Disinfection helps prevent contamination by germs, bacteria, and fungi. Use an alcohol spray and a microfiber cloth to clean complex surfaces (toilets, bidets, faucets, and sinks) daily.
Cleaning the walls
Cleaning walls helps prevent excessive moisture buildup, which can promote the growth of fungus and mold that cause unpleasant odors. Clean tiles thoroughly and let them dry after each bath.
