A Tom's Guide writer tests a viral TikTok tip that uses a damp dryer sheet to scrub away soap scum and limescale from a shower door. After using several sheets (since the stain was long-standing) and a quick spritz of glass cleaner, the shower glass ends up sparkling, suggesting dryer sheets can be a cheap, effective tool for bathroom cleaning—though you may need multiple sheets and a follow-up wipe to remove residue.
A study by microbiologist Charles Gerba and his team at the University of Arizona found that whether you flush the toilet with the lid open or closed makes little difference in preventing the spread of viral particles. The study, published in the American Journal of Infection Control, revealed that viral particles spread to the floor and nearby surfaces regardless of the lid position. The only effective way to reduce the spread of germs is to regularly disinfect the toilet, toilet water, and nearby surfaces. Other researchers suggest keeping the lid closed, routine use of disinfectants, hand washing, and avoiding handling personal items in the restroom to minimize exposure to germs.
To make cleaning your bathroom faster and more efficient, saturate key areas with hot water before scrubbing. The heat causes molecules to separate, making it easier to remove dirt, grime, and body oils. By using hot water, you can save time and eliminate the need for excessive scrubbing. However, this method is not recommended for bleach-based cleaners as hot water degrades their effectiveness.
