Bathroom Cleaning Calendar

8/15/2019

Cleaning the house - particularly the bathroom - can seem like a drag, but it doesn't have to be. We've been hearing for years that the bathroom is by far the room that one dreads the most to clean. Bending over to clean the tub and the floors can leave us with back pain that can last for hours, if not days, even weeks.

The good news is that we can tackle the workload cleaning a bathroom by simply splitting the tasks into various days. There are items we recommend cleaning every day, but there are others that can be done on a weekly basis, and others even on a monthly basis. This way, you get some time back and your bathroom still gets the attention it needs to be clean and ready for you and your family.

Below is a Bathroom Cleaning Calendar that we hope will come in handy.

6 Causes of Low Water Pressure

Taking a low water pressure shower can make many irritable. Here you are, starting your day and spending more time than scoped out for in the shower. It takes you longer to rinse the shampoo off your hair, even the soap off your body.

We understand these frustrations and are always looking for ways to make your life easier. Because of this, we've gathered a list of six things that can cause low water pressure:

Plumbing Leaks: Leaks from pipes, plumbing fixtures and fittings are a significant source of water waste for many households. Research has shown that the typical home can lose 2,000 to 20,000 gallons (7.6 m3 to 76 m3) of water per year due to leaks. Some leaks are obvious, such as dripping faucets and leaking water heaters. Unfortunately, many leaks go undetected for years because the source of the leak is not visible.
Corrosion Buildup: The leading cause of leaks is corrosion from minimal buildup. These rusty pipes can become a big problem and should be addressed in its early stages to help prevent a bigger problem from developing.
Debris and Mineral Buildup: Even with a constantly running water pump, debris and mineral can accumulate in your pipes. The best way to prevent this from happening is by implementing regular cleaning and maintenance to keep them operating smoothly.
Clog: Something that's clogged is blocked or stopped up. When your sink is clogged, the soapy water can't flow down the drain. If your gutters are clogged with leaves, rain water will simply flow and drip over the edges.
Water Valve Issues: A valve is a mechanical device that blocks a pipe either partially or completely to change the amount of fluid that passes through it. When you turn on a faucet (tap) to brush your teeth, you're opening a valve that allows pressurized water to escape from a pipe.
Supply Line Issue: Flexible water supply tubes or pipes connect plumbing fixtures and appliances to your home's rigid supply piping. They typically connect to a fixture shutoff valve that allows you to turn off the water supply at the fixture location.

Don't let a leaking pipe turn into an expensive repair.
