Out with the old, in with the new! Spring is the season of renewal. While you’re dusting your banister, cleaning out your cabinets, and refreshing your closet, don’t forget that your bathroom deserves a fresh start, too. Over time, your bathroom can accumulate hidden grime, mildew, and clutter, impacting both function and comfort.
At True North, we’re dedicated to helping you achieve the bathroom of your dreams—and oftentimes, that starts with some cleaning. Whether you want to renovate the whole space or just want to make your bathroom sparkling and pristine, it’s always a good time to breathe new life into one of the most commonly used rooms in your home. Our spring cleaning guide is here to help.
First things first: time to clean out your storage. It’s easy to let expired and unused products pile up. To clear up space in your cabinets and storage, it’s a good idea to toss anything you haven’t used in the past six months. Once you’ve cleared out the old to make space for the new, wipe down shelves and drawer interiors with a gentle cleaner and microfiber cloth before restocking.
Pro Tip: Use drawer organizers or clear bins to keep the items you reach for regularly neat and accessible.
Tiles looking grimy? Time for a deep clean! Your bathroom may be harboring mold and discoloration—and a refresh could make all the difference in the appearance and safety of the space. Use a grout brush and a baking soda-vinegar paste or a specialized grout cleaner to tackle grime. For tiles, a steam mop or warm water with mild detergent will do the trick.
Sometimes, cleaning won’t be enough. If your tiles are showing their age, spring is a great time to plan a refresh with new textures, tones, or patterns. At True North, we can help you find the right tile solution for your space and lifestyle.
Nothing puts a damper on your bathroom like mildewy bath mats, shower curtains, and window treatments. When you’re refreshing your bathroom, don’t forget to refresh your linens! Throw them in the wash—or better yet, replace them for an instant bathroom facelift. Light, breathable fabrics can make all the difference in freshening up the space for a sense of calm and cleanliness.
Similar to tile and grout, your fixtures should be cleaned regularly. These can often accumulate mineral buildup and water spots. For the ultimate deep clean, soak them in a solution of vinegar and water, then polish with a soft cloth. Make sure to clean the base of the toilet, behind the sink, and other hard-reach areas—leave no nook or cranny untouched!
If you find your fixtures are dated or hard to clean, an upgrade could be in order. At True North, we provide beautiful, low-maintenance options that will last you for years to come—with minimal cleaning effort.
As you clean, you may come across bigger issues than a bit of dirt and grime. Problems like cracked tiles, loose caulking, and poor lighting require more than a deep clean. A renovation could be what you need to ensure your bathroom is in tip-top shape.
At True North Kitchen & Bath, we can help you turn small fixes into lasting improvements. Whether you’re looking for a full renovation or just a quick refresh, we can bring your dream bathroom to life.
A clean bathroom is just the beginning. If this year’s spring cleaning has you dreaming of a brighter, better-functioning space, we’re here to help. Contact True North Kitchen & Bath to explore renovation options, get inspired, and make your bathroom a space you love.
Together, we can transform your space into your dream bathroom that you and your family will love for years to come. Ready to get started?
