A GUIDE ON HOW TO DESIGN AN EASY TO CLEAN AMD MAINTAIN BATHROOM

If you are planning to renovate your bathroom, why not use this opportunity to your advantage? With some smart design choices and decisions, you can create a perfect flawless modern bathroom.

WALL PANELS

The wall panels are low-maintenance, seamless and incredibly easy to clean; just wipe them with warm water and a non-abrasive cleaner. Our best-selling wall panels are available in a wide range of designs and colours, so you don't have to sacrifice style. You can even choose wall panels with a tile effect design to get the best of both worlds.

FLOORING

If you decide to tile your new bathroom, choose a style with a matte finish. This texture tends to be more forgiving of imperfections such as dirt, smudges and water spots. Matte tiles generally don't need to be cleaned as often as glossy tiles. Another helpful tip is to choose larger tiles, as larger tiles mean fewer joints need to be cleaned. When it comes to grout, it's a good idea to choose grout in a dark color such as black or dark gray. Dirt is less visible on darker joints, so they won't require as much maintenance to maintain their appearance. Alternatively, you can choose vinyl flooring instead of tiles. Vinyl floors are seamless and easy to clean and are also very easy to install. It also comes in a variety of stylish designs so you can find the perfect fit for your bathroom.

TOILETS BACK ON WALL

Close-fitting standard toilets can be difficult to clean because they have lots of curves and small crevices, making it easy for dirt to settle. Back-to-wall toilets are a great choice for easy cleaning. Thanks to the concealed cistern and the complete back to the wall, there are no inconvenient places to accumulate, so cleaning is quick and easy. Our Forth Back to Wall toilet is a great choice; with an elegant and modern design, this toilet is easy to wipe clean.

WALL LAMPS

Cleaning the bathroom floor can be a tedious task when you have a lot of bulky fixtures to maneuver around. Small crevices around furniture and sanitary ware can collect accumulated dirt and dust that is difficult to clean. However, wall lights and furniture can eliminate this problem and give you full access to easily clean the floor underneath. Items like wall-mounted toilets, wall-mounted sinks, and wall-mounted sink cabinets are great options for easy bathroom maintenance. They are easy to clean, provide enough access for sweeping and mopping the floor underneath, and give your bathroom a stylish, minimalist look.

SHOWER HANDSET

When choosing a new shower to install, it may be useful to choose one that comes with a shower head. A shower head is a useful bathroom cleaning tool as it can be used to rinse the shower tray and tiles to minimize soap scum build-up. Or it can be used to rinse and clean the tub after use if you installed it in a shower tray. You can also opt for a shower with a removable handpiece for easy cleaning. For example, a fixed overhead shower comes with a round shower head and a useful handpiece.

WALK IN SHOWER

Shower enclosures can be notoriously difficult to clean. Chrome frames and cranks can be a breeding ground for dirt and grime and can require a significant amount of maintenance to keep them clean and shiny. So why not opt for a walk in shower instead. Walk in shower screens have a simple design with minimal framing, making cleaning a breeze. A glass return screen is also a useful addition, which prevents soap drops from splashing into the rest of the bathroom.

STORAGE

Another way to keep your bathroom neat and tidy is by using different storage solutions. Inside the shower, a shower trolley prevents you from leaving products on the floor of the shower tray, as dirt and grime can easily settle around them. A single shower tray is ideal for smaller spaces, or for larger family bathrooms you can choose a two- or three-tiered shower tray.

EXHAUST FAN

Another solution to help keep your bathroom clean is to install and use a steam extractor. Exhaust fans remove moist, stale oxygen particles from the room and allow fresh air to take their place. They prevent condensation and work to combat mold and mildew throughout the bathroom, protecting your walls from potential damage.

And there you have it: our tips for designing an easy-to-clean bathroom. Cleaning your bathroom doesn't have to be a tedious task, with the right design and product selection it can be quick and easy
