Perhaps this practical advice should have been the first. Yes, you want to see your bath in a new light, do general cleaning. New Bathroom Style warns you will have to set aside a whole day for this. Stock up on detergents for a variety of surfaces right away. Thoroughly wash the walls, faucets, ceiling, clean the seams between ceramic tiles, wash the washing machine, wash the curtain. If you have fungus or rust in your bathroom, do your best to deal with it.
