When it comes to cleaning your house, you’re probably dreaming of having a space that doesn’t require too much of your time. But what if we told you that you could make it a reality by planning a bathroom remodel?
Maybe it sounds like a difficult task to achieve, but it’s also the first step you can take towards an easier life at home. You can change the composition of your bathroom in a way that it becomes low maintenance, and Cline Construction & Renovation can tell you exactly how.
Why It Keeps Your Bathroom Clean
Not everything is about having more time for yourself and not for chores, it’s also about hygiene. Designing a bathroom that’s easier to clean can help you keep the rest of your house free of bacteria, mold and more things that you’d rather want far away from your home. Planning a bathroom remodeling with a focus on making it low maintenance, can bring other benefits for your daily life:
- Avoid the dangers of having water damage and mold building up in your house.
- Keeping a fresh and modern aesthetic with almost no effort.
- Having a bathroom made out of durable materials that give your home a stronger structure.

Ideal Tips For a Bathroom Remodel
Choose the proper materials
When you’re selecting the materials to build your bathroom, it’s recommended to go for those that are easier to clean and that can’t be easily torn apart. Some options can be ceramic tiles, granite countertops and fiberglass for your shower or bathtub. Friendly reminder: natural materials like some specific stones or timber are porous and will need sealing when installing them.
Make it breathable
Your bathroom needs proper ventilation. Without it, it could start to grow mold, leading to many health problems like asthma and pneumonitis. For this, an exhaust fan that extracts the air from the inside of your home to the outdoors can work, allowing it to have a proper airflow.
Before this, you have to make sure your backdraft stoppers are installed on the exhaust fans. This helps for emergencies where the air is brought back into the venting system instead of being expelled out of the bathroom. Although it doesn’t sound like a big issue, this can cause problems such as reduced efficiency of the heating system.
Less sinks, more storage
Double sinks are a thing from yesterday. Using a single-sink vanity allows you to make room for your skincare and hair products, clothes, towels, you name it. In opposition to it, a double sink is much less hygienic and very vulnerable to be contaminated with bodily fluids and soap scum.
Stand under the rain
A traditional showerhead can give you headaches when it comes to cleaning them. Instead, using a rain shower head comes with less complications, its design makes it easier to clean and gives your bathroom a spa-like, modern look.
Choose frameless
A shower with no frames isn’t only a smart choice for those who want it to be easy to clean, but it’s also great for those who prefer a modern, trendy, futuristic look for their home. Since there’s no corners or crevices where the dirt could accumulate, cleaning it and wiping the mirrors is a fast task.
A low-flow toilet
A toilet that uses less water per flush helps you preserve water, reduces the energy needed to transport it and also won’t need a lot of maintenance. These types of toilets usually come with a dual-flush option, which can also help with keeping it hygienic.
No More Cleaning Complications
Having more time for yourself, your hobbies and other activities and not cleaning is a great motivation to start renovating your house. And starting with a bathroom remodel focused on your comfort and hygiene is the best way to go.
