- Mold: It’s very important to take care of any mold issues that may be present. Surface mold should be cleaned up quickly to avoid a larger problem from occurring. If you suspect that there is a large mold problem, DIY mold testing kits are available at your local home improvement store and can be used to detect mold issues. If a large mold presence is found, consult a professional to take care of the issue.
- Old paint: If the paint in the bathroom is aged and discolored, using a fresh coat of neutral colored paint will go a long way in freshening up the space.
- Stained tiles: Stains can be removed from tiles with a solution of warm water and vinegar. To remove mildew from surfaces, a water and ammonia solution is effective.
- Sufficient lighting: Be sure to have adequate lighting in the bathroom. A dimly lit bathroom can seem dirty and small.
- Keep it neutral: If remodeling a bathroom, try to keep the color palette neutral and the surfaces clean.
- Don’t leave used towels and toiletries out
- Keep the toilet clean and the lid down
