is how to clean a shower.

就是關於要如何打掃淋浴間

So we finally decided to put a shower cleaning video together for you.

所以我們終於決定要製作一支關於清潔淋浴間的影片給你們

I feel like people get so overwhelmed when they think about cleaning a shower.

我覺得人們想到要清理淋浴間，就好像覺得壓力很大一樣

They think about the bad product smells,

他們會想到清潔用品難聞的氣味

the scrubbing, the wetness, the time, the gloves, etc..

要努力刷啊刷的，還有潮濕的感覺，而且沒有時間，還要戴手套什麼的

Honestly, cleaning a shower need not be such a stress.

不過老實說，打掃淋浴間不需要壓力這麼大

I have a really easy method that I'm going to share with you.

我將要和你們分享一個實在很簡單的方法

I'll also share some tips with you on how to maintain your shower

而且我還要告訴你們一些維持淋浴間整潔的訣竅，

and possibly, possibly eliminate the need to clean your shower at all.

那麼就有可能，我是說有可能，可以從根本上減少你必須清理淋浴間的次數

Okay. So a quick disclaimer. I clean my shower regularly.

好的，先快速地下個但書。我定期會清理我的淋浴間

And as you know, we do most of our videos in my home.

如你們所知，我大部分的影片都是在我家拍的

So I'm going to demonstrate this in my shower.

所以我將會在我的淋浴間示範

But if your shower is dirtier, expect to spend more time and elbow grease

但是如果你們的淋浴間比較髒，那麼當你們第一次嘗試的時候

than what you'll see in the video here on your first attempt.

預計會比你們看我在影片中示範的，還要多花點時間，且多下點苦工

The results will be amazing. And once you see how easy it is to do,

但結果會讓你大吃一驚，而且一旦你了解到那有多麼容易

you won't fear it anymore and your shower will be a lot easier to clean.

你就再也不會害怕，而且之後你的淋浴間打掃起來也會更容易

So here's what you'll need. Tub and tile cleaner.

那麼，以下是你們會需要的。浴缸與磁磚清潔劑

For porcelain, glass walls, glass tile and ceramic tile,

對於瓷器、玻璃牆、玻璃磁磚和陶製磁磚

you can use any tub and tile cleaner that you like,

你可以用任何你喜歡的浴缸與磁磚清潔劑

or you can use a homemade one, like this,

或者用這個，我自製的

which is just dish liquid and vinegar.

裡面只是洗碗精和醋而已

Now, for natural stone, like granite, marble or travertine, you can only use a specialty stone cleaner or a neutral soap.

但對於天然的石材，像是花崗岩，大理石或石灰華，你就要用石材專用的清潔劑，或者中性肥皂

Double sided sponge. Now, look for the non-scratching type,

雙面海棉。要找不會造成刮痕的

because you don't want to scratch any finishes.

因為你不會想要把漆刮壞

Don't use a cheap sponge here. You'll need a good quality sponge

在這裡不要用便宜貨，你需要是高品質的海棉

or else you'll be putting in overtime hours unnecessarily.

否則你將需要多花些無謂的時間在補救上

Microfiber cloths for drying walls and the tub.

微纖維抺布則可以將牆壁和浴缸弄乾

And of course, a squeegee if you have one. Baking soda for some added abrasion

當然，還有橡膠刮刀，如果你有的話。小蘇打粉可以增加一些額外的磨擦力

just in case. And finally, full strength vinegar

只是先備用。最後，純醋

for glass shower doors, which I don't have.

可以用來用清潔沐浴間的玻璃門，但玻璃門我家沒有

All right. Let's get to cleaning.

好了，我們開始打掃吧！

Start by removing everything from the shower, like your bottles,

先從把你淋浴間的東西都移除開始，像是你的瓶瓶罐罐

soap bars and sponges.

肥皂條，還有海棉

Then pull the curtains out of the way and begin to spray the tiles in your shower

然後把你的浴簾移除，開始將你最愛的浴室清潔劑

with your favorite bathroom cleaning product.

噴灑在沐浴間的磁磚上

Let the product sit for about five minutes.. This is called dwell time,

讓清潔劑在磁磚上停留大概五分鐘，這就叫做「停留時間」

and this will allow the product to do the work for you.

這可以讓清潔劑來幫你做工

When the time is up, grab your sponge and start at the far left side of the shower.

時間到了以後，就拿著海棉從淋浴間的最左邊

You're going to work clockwise

順時鐘來擦

until you tackle all walls.

直到整面牆都處理完為止

For heavy soap scum on non-glass surfaces,

對於非玻璃介面上頑強的皂垢

you may want to sprinkle about a teaspoon of baking soda into your sponge before you start scrubbing.

你可能需要在你開始擦洗前，先灑上大概一茶匙的小蘇打粉在你的海棉上

The extra abrasion will help scrape off that soap scum.

額外的磨擦力可以幫助你擦掉皂垢

Once the walls are scrubbed,

把牆擦過一遍以後

you can repeat steps two and three for the tub.

你就可以對浴缸重覆做剛才的第二第三步驟

Spray it down and leave it for about 5 or 10 minutes, and then scrub it,

噴灑清潔劑後靜置約五到十分鐘，然後再開始擦拭

starting at one end of the tub and working your way to the other.

從浴缸的一端擦到另一端

If your tub is acrylic,

如果你的浴缸是丙烯酸的

you'll need to use the soft side of your sponge only since the scrubbing side can ruin the finish.

你就只能雙面海棉軟的那面，因為可以刷的那面會把漆刷壞

And now, the moment of redemption that you've all been waiting for, rinsing.

現在，那個你一直在等待的，努力終於可以得到回報的沖洗時間來了

If you have a removable shower head, start spraying the shower walls down,

如果你有個手持式的蓮蓬頭，那就開始用蓮蓬頭灑水在牆上吧

following the same pattern you used to clean it.

就像你以前清理它的模式一樣

If you don't have that, run the faucet

如果你沒有手持式的，就把水龍頭打開讓它流

and use a container or a milk jug to rinse the walls.

拿個容器或牛奶壺接手去沖洗牆壁

Now once the walls are rinsed, use a squeegee to remove all additional water,

一旦沖洗完畢，就用橡膠刮刀把多餘的水份刮除

and then follow that up by buffing it with a clean, dry cloth.

之後則是乾淨的乾布將牆壁擦亮

If you don't have a squeegee, just use a cloth.

如果你沒有橡膠刮刀，只用布來擦也是可以的

And repeat this for the tub. Don't forget to shine your chrome.

然後浴缸也是一樣的步驟。不要忘記把你的鉻金屬擦亮

By rinsing everything at the end, you keep things a lot dryer for yourself

在最後把所以東西都沖洗完畢後，就要讓你自身

and your feet, of course, and you use less water.

當然還有你的腳保持乾燥，少用點水

It also makes the job easier, more efficient and much safer.

這樣可以讓工作更容易，更有效率，也更安全

See, how easy was that? Okay, it wasn't easy,

你看，有多簡單啊！好吧，不是很容易

but it was a clear step-by-step explanation of how to do it.

但已經把步驟一步步清楚地解釋給你聽了

If you want to be super efficient with your showering

如果你想要非常有效率地打掃你的淋浴間

and reduce the need to clean your shower entirely, here's what you have to do.

並且降低你幫你的淋浴間大掃除的必要性，我上面說的就是你應該做的

Now I just want to say, I understand it's a bit of a time commitment,

現在我要說的是，我知道那是需要一段長時間來維持的

but you need to ask yourself if this is easier than cleaning your shower every couple of weeks.

但你必須要問你自己，比起你每隔兩週就大掃除一次，這麼做是不是更簡便了？

You be the judge.

你可以自己評斷

All you do is keep an old towel or a squeegee handy, and when you're done your shower,

你要做的，就是保持你的舊毛巾或橡膠刮刀順手好用，當你結束淋浴後

simply wipe down or squeegee all the walls

就簡單的擦一下或刮一下所有的牆面、

and the tub and the glass.

浴缸和玻璃。

Follow that up with a mist of daily shower spray.

並噴上一些日用淋浴間清潔劑來搭配

If your walls are dry, there's no possibility for soap scum,

如果你的牆壁乾燥的話，皂垢、

hard water spots and mildew to latch onto the surfaces.

硬水痕和黴菌就不會巴著牆面不放

And remember, turn on your exhaust fan for 30 minutes or so.

而且記得要打開你的排風機大概三十分鐘

Moisture is the cause of grungy bathrooms worldwide.

潮溼是所有浴室骯髒的原因

So if you do that every single time you shower,

所以如果你在每次淋浴過後就做以上的步驟，

you'll never have to worry about cleaning your shower again.

你就不用擔心你還要再另外清理你的浴室
