@laetitiabailey-mortimer8532 2 месяца назад

I'm a believer in function over form. To that end, I want bathrooms like those in hospitals - super easy to clean because they have to be for hygiene reasons. They might not look pretty, but no-lip floors that are laminate (which continues up the walls to a certain extent) don't have grout or shower tracks to collect gunk or trip people up.

@FR-tb7xh 2 месяца назад

Fabulous video! May I add, rethink getting a shower with a track door system - they are impossible to keep clean! The tracks fill up with the most disgusting black gunk because the water never fully drains out of them. After a few years trying with Qtips and wasting water, we finally ripped out the entire door system and put up a shower rod.

@alonelypenguin5229 Месяц назад

Spray with a mild bleach solution, then blast it all off with the power wash shower head setting. Gets most of it loose with no scrubbing.

@elizarob666 Месяц назад

Agreed, I've spent more time cleaning tracks in the shower door than anything else.

@xchrysantha Месяц назад

As someone who moved into an apartment with these already installed, I AGREE. They're so miserable and I hate them. We actually pull out the doors every few months to properly scrub them and the track, and it's just disgusting what ends up in there. We're hoping to finally get them removed soon as well.

@seabream Месяц назад

I think that how much of a problem this is varies depending on your track system and your climate. I have one and it dries out pretty fast, so I haven't had this issue. That said the bottom of my system's track doesn't have a lot to it, the part that does the retention of the doors is further up, so the parts that would collect water are not in a position to collect water in the first place. It's definitely much better at drying out than the plastic shower curtains that we had at my old place, and easier to clean too. The curtains have worse air circulation between the folds and the tub so they'd stay wet for longer.

@FR-tb7xh Месяц назад

@@seabream You make an outstanding point about climate - having an adult child living on one of Colorado’s front ranges where even snow can dissipate before it falls and every day is a great “hair day,” climate matters. But here in our cooler-but-still-humid Boston area climate, shower door track gunk is relentless and awful. FWIW, since we removed the tracks and switched to shower curtain liners, our practice has been to change them out every few months, and send the old ones to our garage for paint and other outdoor project use.

Thank you for mentioning this. I used to clean houses and it was really hard to clean certain spaces. Many people design their houses to look good, but it doesn't mean that is practical.

The vessel sink and freestanding tubs are kitschy as fuck anyway. Everyone and their dog uses them which is going to be dating their bathroom to this period and look trendy-sheep in 5 years time. Timeless designs never die. Freestanding bathroom fixtures are just a fashion statement today, but they are pointless, lame, and classless.

This is the video I needed this week! We're doing a complete renovation of a small condo & my goal for the bathroom was Low Maintenance. The GC was initially surprised by my design choices because they didn't track with what most people are requesting. Once I clearly conveyed my goal of Low Maintenance, he and his team were super helpful in making material choices. We implemented 9 of the decisions recommended here. (Shower only, so no tub at all, toilet was already new so didn't replace immediately ). Thanks so much for sharing these. I feel so validated.

@miahan8988 Месяц назад

This is not about a bathroom but I clean shared spaces for a living (staircases + hallways + elevators + entry/exit doors) and you know if someone designed the space with maintenance in mind or not. For example, some hallways have such horribly impractical windows, let’s say, instead of a nice 2-panel window that you can easily open, it’s been split into 6 separate cubes and you have to open them and literally unhinge them one by one in order to clean them. Makes me want to scream every time I have to clean them. So I really appreciate practical design that also keeps future maintenance in mind 🥲

@roderickfemm8799 Месяц назад

I would add, glass shower walls, especially if you have hard water. Water spots can actually etch the glass if not cleaned very regularly, and that damage is permanent. It may not be such a problem if you have one of those huge showers where the shower water doesn't actually reach the glass. For the rest of us, tile walls and a shower curtain may be better than glass.

@grizfan93 Месяц назад

We have glass shower walls, but fortunately, the water isn't too hard in our area. I was watching another RU-vid channel about home cleaning, and they brought up a great point about preventing hard water stains with good ventilation. So Reynard's advice on getting a good exhaust fan can really help prevent or reduce the hard water stains on the glass wall showers.

@monicac9643 2 месяца назад

Hey Reynard! Thanks for all the helpful tips. Who likes cleaning right? I would also suggest a vanity cabinet to avoid clutter on the counter top. The only item on the sink shud be the hand wash.

@RememberTheTrees 2 месяца назад

Great tips, thank you! Here are a couple more: If you find yourself keeping too many items on the counter, a narrow utility cart for all your skincare products and things can be very helpful to keep things more organized; and a wall mounted shower caddy to keep your shampoos, conditioners, razers and scrubs in (rather than keeping them on ledges or corner mounted caddies) can make your tub/shower area feel a lot more spatious and organized as well. You can get both things for about $25 and they're a great quality of life improvement.

You know those suburban cave showers? I use bar keepers friend foam spray, works wonders. Just like gold or black hardware, I’d never upgrade to a free standing tub.

I grew up in a California Central Valley farmhouse that was built in the 1950s. It had wall-mounted faucets in the bathrooms and laundry room. When I bought my first house (and my current house), I added wall-mount sinks to the bathrooms and laundry room (not at kitchen sink 'cause it's under a window). It's easy to find wall-mount faucets now, but wasn't the case twenty years ago. The point is, they're so easy to clean and easy to use. They're a must for me.

@miahan8988 Месяц назад

06:14 another thing with maintaining stainless steel fixtures when you have hard water is to always keep a clean rag at hand and wipe the fixtures after they get splashed. If there’s no a lot of water on them, it’s harder for limescale to build up, therefore you don’t have to do deep cleaning as often :) useful if you want to keep your space clean but don’t have the energy ❤

@IllyrianPrinces00 14 дней назад

As a 2 time homeowner that has demoed to the studs both times, I couldn't agree more. I would add that in areas of hard water, put the faucet in the wall rather than counter. Easily clean it with a squeegee. Plan your kitchen to the T. And by god epoxy grout the whole house if you can. Bathrooms and kitchens especially. The regular grout cracks as well and its terrible. I'd add to chose comfort height toilets. The tall ones are NOT a good idea. Pretty but not good for bowel movements. Great video. Helps people avoid expensive mistakes.

@lindyasimus Месяц назад

I've been told by a contractor that undermount sinks develop mould under the recessed part that is impossible to clean. I guess what you don't know... eeek. Vessel sinks often far too small to use without splashing water over the counter top. May work for people who avoid washing their hands!

@rawlsrules 10 дней назад

I think freestanding tubs, on feet, are much smarter for maintenance: for daily maintenance and for avoiding water entering areas behind tile and below tub which just end up rotting.

I have just completed a new ensuite, renovated bathroom, laundry and powder room. There’s so many other areas to add to this. There’s hours of lessons I’ve learned. I choose chrome fixtures. The golds, brass etc. were tarnishing before my eyes in the showroom. Toilets - 4 of them. All two piece. Apart from half the cost, my plumber and contractor avoid wall hung for any future repairs behind the wall. Last but definitely not least, please be careful with selecting white tiles, white vanities. Etc. None of them match if purchasing off the shelf. Something I didn’t notice till it was too late. Large gloss white tiles, bright white grout and silicon, bathroom ceiling paint, vanity, ceramic sink and top, freestanding bath. All the whites are different. The vanity and bath together are the most noticeable. Gloss white bath with matt white vanity which looks like off white. So disappointed.

All sinks have there pros and cons with cleaning. I had an intergrated sink for 25 years and it was easy to clean the surface but if I didnt do it constantly the daily crime around the base of the tap was very noticable against the intetgrated surface. My undermount sink the worst part is that fine line where the join is sealed gets really bad if i dont scrub with a toothbrush daily. My vessel sink is sealed at the the bottom so there is no crevice for anything to get trapped so it has been easy to keep looking clean. Its harder to reach around the back than an intergrated sink but doesnt seem to need it as often. It probably depends on what type of vessel sink though,theres so many different ones. Mine doesnt have crevices, but unsealed where buildup could get trapped i imagine would be terrible to clean. Shower doors are my least favouite thing to clean in the bathroom, after years I now have a single piece glass

@nikserof2183 Месяц назад

You have made some good points. I have been to so many hotels where they put form over function and follow trends that are not sensible. For example, rain showers are not as effective at cleaning (a person or the shower itself) as a flexible shower head. I always wonder how much time cleaners could save if they didn't have to deal with items that just look good. 4:04 Potential splashing can be avoided by always closing the lid before flushing. This also prevents bacteria from being sprayed all over the bathroom, including towels and toothbrushes. Further, preferably, the toilet should be in a water closet and not in the same room as the bath and shower. No-one wants to try to relax in a bath when there is a lingering odour from the toilet.

@aliannarodriguez1581 Месяц назад

One thing not mentioned is the current trend for bathroom cabinets that are open on the bottom instead of going all the way to the floor. What a cleaning disaster those are! Not only do you lose storage space, but you’ve got a whole new area where dust and dirt can accumulate.

We also have dark bronze finish fixtures. It was originally designed with a black and red aesthetic complete with a black toilet and tub. Did I mention we have hard water? I'm slowly switching it to a light natural looking Scandinavian aesthetic with light blue accents. The black toilet and tub will only be replaced if they break irreparably though.

It’s funny how being the person responsible for cleaning, makes you see things like this. I’ve always thought I would never get vessel sinks and stand alone tubs for the exact reasons you mentioned, PLUS, they’re kind of uncomfortable to use because you have to lift your shoulders to use them, no difficult, but not as convenient. ALSO, kind of on the same vibe as tiny tiles… shower floors tiled with stones… looks beautiful but oh my goodness what a pain in the butt to clean… and I personally found them uncomfortable to stand on.

I rarely ever comment, and I'm a new listener but I wanted to thank you for a great video! I've made some of these mistakes on a recent renovation and would do things a bit differently next time.

Thank you! I am thinking to buy a freestanding corner bathtub. There is a gap of 30 cm between the bathtub and the wall on its left. Thanks to you I know that it is enough space. Greetings from Romania

Hi Reynard, I love your clear, comprehensive content! Have you ever heard of Showerdome? It's a New Zealand invention I think. I saw it in a Tiny House video. Its really worth looking at. I won't say more cos I could go on and on...😅 G Ire

Great video. You missed shower doors versus curtains. When we renovated we wanted the doors but they collect mildew. So we went with a curved bar and curtains.

For sink. My sink super easy to clean and the design really simple. I dont owned a bathtub because I found it hassle to clean. Lastly I change my toilet so I can clean it better and faster, afterall if you cant clean it properly, it produce unpleasant smell especially bad bacteria might infest.
