• There can be no disputing the fact that bleach is
  a fantastic disinfectant and cleaning agent, but
  it is a harsh product and highly toxic, and when
  there are alternatives to using it for cleaning
  your bathroom, health experts advise that its
  use be kept to a minimum.
• The dangers of using bleach for cleaning your
  bathroom
• Bleach is in fact the name given to a group of
  chemicals that are used both on an industrial and
  domestic scale, and it can be used for a variety
  of purposes, not least of all for helping to
  eliminate stains and bacteria in bathrooms, and
  act as a disinfecting agent.

• However, as with any chemical product, exposure
  to it in its undiluted form can cause significant
  irritation to the eyes, nose, skin and even
  lungs. Prolonged or massive exposure to bleach
  can have serious side effects on the respiratory
  and nervous system, can cause migraines, vomiting
  and will burn the skin if exposed directly to it.
• So, if you dont want to use such a harsh
  chemical to blitz your bathroom and get it
  hygienically clean particularly if you have
  small children in your home what else can you
  use?

• Alternatives to using bleach for cleaning
• Scientists have proven that bicarbonate of soda
  a basic store cupboard essential in most homes
  is just as effective as bleach at removing
  limescale. Scatter the soda into the toilet bowl
  and leave it overnight, and when you flush the
  next morning, most of the limescale will have
  disappeared, you may find that you need to
  lightly scrub at the remaining limescale with a
  scouring pad or stiff brush.
• Others have been quick to point out that a bit of
  old fashioned elbow grease works wonders when
  trying to get rid of stains, and then the area
  can simply be

• sterilised with a combination of vinegar, lemon
  juice and baking soda, which is most effective
  when used as a paste. Apply, give a quick rub and
  then simply wipe away the remainder.
• For eliminating feisty bathroom aromas, simply
  place a cup of bicarbonate of soda on a shelf or
  window sill and wait for it to work its magic.
• There are also a variety of bathroom cleaning
  products available online and in stores, that are
  completely free of bleach and will work just as
  well at keeping your bathroom clean. Most of them
  rely upon citric acid, and have a much less eye
  stinging fragrance, too.

• Coca Cola for limescale removal
• Its true that Coca Cola, when flat, works
  amazingly well at getting rid of limescale, but
  do be warned that the sugars in the beverage can
  encourage bacteria growth, so be sure to scrub
  the area well once the Coca Cola has been
  removed. Because of its propensity for
  encouraging bacteria growth, you wouldprobably
  need to use a disinfecting product after using
  Coca Cola, and why not use lemons to do the job?
  Unless you are wanting to eat your dinner out of
  your toilet bowl or off your tiles, the citric
  acid in lemons works perfectly well at killing
  germs and bacteria. It wont eliminate 100 of
  the germs, but it will
