Your schedule for deep cleaning will depend on how often you clean regularly and how dirty your home gets. If you clean weekly and keep things tidy, you may only need to deep clean once a year. But if you don’t keep up with regular cleaning or have pets that drag in mud and shed all over the house, you might need deep cleaning two or three times a year.

If you prefer not to use a commercial cleaning product on your pink mold issue, or on other types of mold you are seeing in your bathroom, there are some natural mold killer products that you can use. You can try substances that you may already have in your home, like vinegar, tea tree oil, hydrogen peroxide, lemon juice, and baking soda.

There are a few ways to remove calcium buildup in your pipes, but the most natural option involves vinegar, baking soda, and boiling water. To use this method, pour 1/2 cup of vinegar down the drain you're trying to clear, then follow it up with 1/2 cup of baking soda. Place a rag over the drain to create a light seal and leave it for 30 minutes. Remove the rag, then pour a pot of boiling water into the drain. After the water drains, wipe everything down with a sponge.

Sanded grout contains particles of sand, making the grout more resistant to cracking. This durability makes sanded grout well suited for tile floors. It is also less prone to thinning out and forming bubbles when it cures, so you can spread it into larger joints.

Unsanded grout is much smoother, so you will want to use it when working with tile made from glass or polished stone. Any sand could leave scratches on the tile’s surface. The lack of sand also makes unsanded grout thinner, making it best for tile joints that are less than one-eighth-inch thick.
