Enzyme cleaners can work on urine and bacteria to eliminate that odor. You can buy this at pet stores or janitorial supply stores.

HYDROGEN PEROXIDE CLEANERS

H2Orange2 is a hydrogen based cleaner. They use hydrogen peroxide in doctors offices for spot cleaning. This is very safe and does not have to be locked away.

Sometimes I have to add a little Renuzit spray. 10 minute dwell time required.

If you still have an odor problem

try an enzyme cleaner
or try spraying the area with a steam cleaner
try a disinfectant cleaner

Or you can use a dilution of Mr Clean All Purpose and Hydrogen Peroxide

MIRRORS

We need to look at ourselves in a mirror on occasion so a clean mirror is necessary. People usually use Windex and a paper towel. You could also just use a paper towel to wipe the mirror after your shower.

I have heard that using shaving cream on the mirror is a good way to keep the mirror from fogging up.

THE SINK

Remove the clutter off the counter. Spray with your solution or Windex with a microfiber cleaning cloth. Shine the faucet and handles.

Cleaning a Shower or Tub

Cleaning a shower can be a slippery, yet rewarding, endeavor. Here’s a guide to help you tackle this task :

Preparing for battle: Before stepping into the shower-cleaning arena, arm yourself with the essentials. Don your superhero cape or shower cap (your choice!), equip yourself with a trusty scrub brush or sponge, and grab a bottle of shower cleaner that boasts the power to vanquish soap scum and grime. Now, imagine yourself as the fearless guardian of cleanliness, ready to embark on a heroic quest to restore your shower to its former glory.

Open a window. You need the fresh air so you will not be affected by any cleaning product fumes. You could avoid this problem by using natural cleaning products.

Lay a towel in front of the shower/tub. This will soak up any drips and will ensure that you do not slip when stepping out of the wet shower.

Remove any items from the shower.

Spray the cleaner over the shower or tub surfaces. If you are dealing with a glass door on tracks, you may need to stand inside the stall to spray the doors completely. Spread the solution around the surfaces with a sponge. Leave the stall and allow the solution to work. You don’t want to breathe in the fumes.

After a few minutes go back into the stall and agitate the surfaces with the scrubbie side of the sponge. Close the glass doors. Use a container or small bucket to rinse the areas.

With a microfiber cloth, shine up the faucet and handles. You could also use a window squeegee to remove the water from the walls and doors.

Now tackle your toilet….
