At Remodeling Expo Center we remodel hundred of bathrooms each year and we constantly hear about the dreaded task of cleaning the bathroom. It’s a necessary evil and most people think there’s just nothing that can be done about it. Well, I have some great news for you! At Remodeling Expo Center, we’ve perfected the stay-clean bathroom In this article I’m going to describe how bathroom technology has changed and why they don’t need to be cleaned as often and why they’re so much easier to clean.
Current bathroom design always features larger format tile, 12” x 24” or larger, plus grout lines have gotten smaller, many times just 1/8 of an inch wide. So there is a small fraction of the amount of grout than what was installed in the 1980s and 1990s. Add this to the advent of technologically improved anti-microbial grout and the whole grout problem is solved.
It is a washable, stain-resistant, durable product that has undergone a huge transformation in manufacturing. Porcelain tile is inexpensive comes in many natural stone patterns and is simply gorgeous. If you’re looking for something that’s beautiful, timeless, and easy to clean, then porcelain tile is your best bet.
This is the greatest, and simplest, cleaning reduction method you can use. Humidistat-controlled exhaust fans are now cost-effective and readily available. This technology automatically turns the exhaust fan on, when the humidity level rises in the room (when you take a shower), and remains on until the humid air is evacuated from the room, then it turns itself off. You’re not going to believe what a difference this makes! Mold and mildew need humidity to grow and this simple, inexpensive exhaust fan denies this to them. Your bathroom smells fresh and doesn’t need to be cleaned as often!
Frameless shower glass is beautiful but can be a chore to keep clean. Here again, technology has improved to solve this problem. Glass can now be permanently coated with a substance that allows water and soap scum to sheet off. It works similarly to Rain-X on your windshield, except it's permanent and never needs to be reapplied. As an insurance measure, install a hand-held shower wand, so you can rinse any sod on the glass before you complete your shower. Between the coated glass and the wand, you won't be washing your shower glass much at all.
