By now, we’ve all heard of the rainy season and how it can wreak havoc on our homes, especially our bathrooms and kitchens, if we’re not prepared! That’s why we at Essco believe that bathroom maintenance during the monsoon is more important than ever. We know there are a lot of different bathroom designs, bathroom accessories, and bathroom maintenance tips out there that you could follow to make sure your home stays in good shape this rainy season. This blog will help you take care of your bathroom just in time for the monsoon.

Here are the top 5 bathroom maintenance tips you can start with right away to keep your bathroom clean and hygienic during monsoon season! 

Fix water leakages:

In monsoon, a minor water leak can cause significant damage. Check your bathroom accessories and fixtures like taps and faucets regularly to ensure they are in perfect condition. Fix gaps in windows and tighten loose nails, which might allow rainwater to seep in.  

Clear blocked drainage systems:

Clean out blocked drains with a fast water jet. Avoid harsh chemicals and take extreme care when working with sharp or dangerous materials. This will ensure the smooth functioning of all bathroom accessories.

Replace damaged washbasins:

Monsoons can cause many problems to your washbasin, sink, or bathtub. You must replace broken washbasins on time before it becomes a more significant issue and spoil your bathroom decor. If you observe any cracks in your washbasin, bathroom sink, or bathtub, do not wait until they get worse. Keep a lookout for these signs of wear and tear.

 Maintain cleanliness regularly:

We recommend getting into a routine of cleaning your bathroom at least once every two weeks or so. Here are some daily bathroom maintenance tips:

•  Install a ventilator:  Ventilators help maintain humidity levels and prevent walls from cracking or paint from peeling off; you might also want to consider installing an exhaust fan if you don’t already have one. 

• Don’t ignore spills: Cleaning up as soon as something happens will save your bathroom from becoming dirtier over time. 

Change out bathroom fixtures regularly:

Metal rusts quickly in bathrooms because of the damp conditions. If you have fittings made of metal, we recommend changing them out twice a year for easier bathroom maintenance. You should never leave leaky faucets unattended either—changing those frequently helps ensure better bathroom maintenance.

Follow the above tips and improve the health of the most important room of your house, your bathroom.
