3 Common Bathroom Problems and How to Solve Them

Content originally published and Shared from http://perfectbath.com

The relaxing nature of a good warm bath helps us realize things that we don’t normally think about — such as the secrets of the universe or the reason we exist. However, if bathroom problems such as the following exist, they can steal your attention away from your dreamy thoughts. Don’t let these problems ruin your well-deserved alone time:

Photo by Daniel Fazio on Unsplash

Over-splashing tap
Selecting the right design will save you some frustration because the wrong tap with the wrong sink can certainly land you in a watery situation. You certainly don’t want a wet floor each time you turn the tap on! The placement of the sink with the tap defines how much splash it creates. If the sink is too close to the standing tap, the water may spill over the edge when it is initially turned on. The space of the sink also has a part to play as it would guide the water into the sink hole. An overhead tap mounted on the wall would have to be positioned correctly over the sink hole to ensure faster drainage. Also note that some sinks don’t come with overflow holes, so be mindful when you shop. Source: HomeAndDecor

Leaky shower
You may be able to put up with a leaky shower head for a little while, but it’ll cost you on your water bills. On top of that, the excess moisture being leaked to unplanned areas could create mold issues. Fixing your showerhead could be as easy as replacing a gasket, and you can often diagnose it on your own. Source: TheSpruce

Slow drain
Most tub and shower clogs are caused by hair. A simple fix is to remove the drain cover, straighten a wire coat hanger, then bend one end into a small hook. Push the hook down the drain and into the U-shape trap a few inches down. Then twist it around, and carefully pull it back. Chances are good you will have hooked the sizable hairball that was causing your slow drain. Source: BHG

If your leaky fixtures are a recurring problem, replacing them with higher quality ones is the answer! Call us today.

How to Pick the Best Shower Head

Content originally published and Shared from http://perfectbath.com

 

Shower heads come in various shapes and forms. They are also used for different kinds of showering. This is not to mention the fact that they are numerous by reason of being manufactured by many players.

 

For these reasons, great care and caution have to be exercised while searching for the right shower head. This can only be achieved if several factors are considered. These form the gist of the conversations that follow hereunder:

HOW TO PICK THE BEST SHOWER HEAD

Type of Shower head

  • There are three main kinds of shower heads namely fixed, hand-held, and hand showers, respectively. The fixed types are permanently mounted on the walls.
LED-shower-head

LED Shower Head

  • The hand-held types are equipped with a flexible hose or tube. They grant you the freedom to move around and about the bathroom while showering. The hand showers, on the other hand, are 2-in-1 in the sense that they combine both features of the fixed and the hand showers at the same time.

 

  • The last type is by far the best of the three. This is because it allows you to enjoy the benefits of the remaining two at a time. It is, however, more expensive.

 

Water Discharge Rates

  • This refers to the amount of water that the shower head is capable of discharging per unit time. It is designated gpm which stands for gallons per minute. A good shower head under this consideration ought to be moderate (from 1 gpm-2.5 gpm). This is to assure you of great showering experience while not subjecting you to hefty utility bills.

 

Spray Pattern

  • In which way does the shower eject water? Shower heads can eject water in the following main ways: pulse, jet, rain, mist, massage, or aeration respectively.

 

  • Luxury-rain-shower-head

    Luxury Rain Shower Head

    Quite a number can also eject water in all or a combination of any two or more of the said patterns. It is therefore in your best interest to ascertain your desired pattern after which you are to acquire that shower head that is well able to meet that need.

 

  • Just in case your search for the right shower head is dictated by the need to fulfill some therapeutic needs or value, the massaging shower head is by all means strongly recommended.

 

Energy Consumption

  • Most modern shower heads require electrical energy to operate. This is mainly because they have some intelligent features that are not found in ordinary showerheads. These include the ability to eject water at a predefined pressure level and flow rate.

 

  • That notwithstanding, a good shower head has to consume moderate quantities of electrical energy. This, of course, is to spare you from the need to pay hefty electricity/utility bills. While searching for the right shower head, be sure to check the flow rate and pressure rating since these two determine the electricity consumption rates.

 

Material Construction

  • The kinds of materials that are used to make up the shower head determine how long and how frequent you may utilize the shower head. In case you plan to use the shower head regularly or for a prolonged duration of time, you must choose a durable shower head. Hard plastics, solid brass, and stainless steel have proven to be strong, durable, and reliable in the long-run. You should consider giving them the shower heads that are manufactured by them a top most priority.

 

Finishes

  • Apart from the material construction, the finishes that are used to adorn the exterior surfaces of the shower heads also matter. They do so for the same reasons as those of the material construction. The oil-rubbed bronze, brushed or polished chrome, brushed or polished nickel, Copper, polished or antique brass, white, and off-white, are some of the most reliable finishes. You should look up to them in your search for the right shower head.

 

Controls

  • Control features are those that you use to vary and determine the various aspects of the shower. These include the temperature, flow rate, pressure, and direction of water flow, among others. A good shower head ought to be less sophisticated to control. This is to spare you from the likelihood of grappling with unnecessary hassles while showering.

 

Of course, there are several other actors that equally matter. Due to the limited time and space at our disposal, we just could not exhaust all of them. We, therefore, urge you to consider digging deeper in order to familiarize yourself with them.

4 Ingredients to a Romantic Bathroom Date for Valentine’s Day

Content originally published and Shared from http://perfectbath.com

Whether you’re going out with your special someone or staying at home to celebrate your love for each other, a romantic bath experience is the best way to wrap up your day. All you need is the following:

Photo by Aaron Huber on Unsplash

Clean bathroom
It will be difficult to create a romantic atmosphere in a dirty bathroom. To set up the most romantic evening possible, you’ll need to make sure nothing in the bathroom is dirty or grimy. This includes not only the bathtub, but the rest of your bathroom as well. Mop or sweep the floor, wash out the bathtub, and clean all surfaces, including the sink.   It’s not necessary to spend hours cleaning, but making the bathroom look presentable is important. Source: WikiHow

Candlelight
Restore that healthy glow with a liberal sprinkling of candlelight. Tea lights are easy to use, make little mess and are easy to throw away once cooled. Don’t place candles where you may splash water on them. Source: SheKnows

Champagne
Celebrate your time together with a romantic toast. Keep a bucket with ice in it nearby for refills. Use this couple time to renew promises or vows with each other. Or, just revel in actually having couple time. Complete the moment with romantic finger foods on a silver platter nearby. Source: SheKnows

Music
Your choice of music will have a major effect on your mood (and that of your partner if you’re having a bubble bath for two), so take the time to give some thought to this essential component of the ambiance.

Do you want to create a serene, meditative, spa-like experience? There are many albums of relaxing instrumental spa music by different composers in different styles that you can choose from.

Not in the mood to “bliss out” this time? Pick your favorite songs. They can be relaxing, upbeat, funky, Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert, Usher, Bruno Mars – just ask yourself what you’re in the mood for! Source: Holidappy

Fitting in a bathtub designed for only one person isn’t as fun as soaking in a whirlpool tub made for two people. Get one for your home so you can look forward to fancier bath dates with your significant other. Call us!

Ways to maintain your bathroom sparkling clean

Content originally published and Shared from http://perfectbath.com

 

Are you worried that your bathroom is not as clean as the rest of your house? The reason may be you are not doing the right things to keep it clean, or you are using the wrong cleaning methods. It is everyone’s dream to see their sink sparkling clean and the tiles all shiny. Therefore, if you would want to make your bathroom look neat and clean, the following are some tips to help you.

 

Tips on how to maintain your bathroom sparkling clean

Empty your trash can

How long does it take before you empty your bathroom trash can? Even a small detail such as this can cause your bathroom seems unity or tidy. Also keeping piled up trash causes the room to smell bad or even seem full and disorganized. Therefore, after cleaning your bathroom, make sure to empty the trash can and rinse it before you put it back. Note that even though you don’t necessarily clean the entire bathroom on a daily basis, emptying the box should be done daily.

Clean up the shower area

Best Steam Shower Product Reviews

Best Steam Shower

No matter how careful you are while bathing using a shower, there will always be soap lathers that get stuck on the walls. So, the more you leave the lather on the wall, the more it gets stuck on the wall thus discoloring it. So to avoid this, make an effort of cleaning the walls of the shower area after every shower session. Also, splash some fresh and clean water in the shower head and the handlebar to remove any soap that may be there. Once in a while maybe in a week, use vinegar and the floor of the shower area for optimum cleansing.

Dry your towels with a drier

Do not leave your towels in the bathroom while moist. This is because there is no enough lighting or warmth in the area hence your towel may take long before it dries up. This causes it to produce a foul smell. So what is the solution to this? Every time you finish up with your towel, put it in a dryer machine for about five minutes to get rid of all the moist that may be in it or instead, you can dry it outside and put it back once it completely dries off the water. Visit thinktankhome.com to learn what to look out for when buying a dryer machine to use in your home.

Rinse your sink and mirror after every brush and shave.

This is an easy to do task since you can do it as you brush or shave. Toothpaste will always sprinkle on the mirror when brushing your teeth or shaving not unless you are not doing it while looking in the mirror. So, to ensure that you leave these areas just the way you found them, make sure you splash water on the mirror to clean off the paste and shave residuals. Also, run water on the sink as you scrub it with your hands to get rid of the dirty water.

 

Considering the bathroom is a small room in the house, it is quite easy to maintain its cleanliness using the above-discussed tips which are quite easy to practice to ensure that your bathroom retains its sparkle all the time. Buy easy to use fixtures such as the bathtubs and faucets and ensure they are made of the durable and stainless steel material to prevent them from rusting due to constant use of water.

Signing in and out of HS office

Are you coming in late or leaving early? 

If you are late to school you are expected to report to the High School Office to sign in and to give an explanation. 

Sometimes you need to leave campus before the end of the day. We expect communication from a parent before we will allow this to happen. You must report to the High School Office to sign out with the HS staff. This is very important for both accountability and safety reasons. These expectations apply to seniors with senior privileges.

4 Ways to Warm Up During Winter

Content originally published and Shared from http://perfectbath.com

Yes, baby, it’s cold outside. So why not stay at home where you can feel more comfortable by doing these easy tips?

Photo by Toa Heftiba on Unsplash

Bundle up
Cover those places where blood flows close to the skin, Salz says. He recommends covering your wrists with a long-sleeve shirt, throwing on a sweater with a turtleneck collar to warm your neck, and pulling on socks long enough to cover your ankles. And don’t forget to cover your head — a baseball cap will do fine indoors. Source: BHG

Reverse the fan
If you’re up for a little science experiment, you can harness the physics of your ceiling fan in order to keep warm. Since warm air rises, you can use your ceiling fan to push it back down towards the ground. Simply reverse the direction of your fan and keep it on low so it doesn’t stir up a big breeze. Source: Greatist

Stay active
Get up and get moving! An active body heats up quickly – run, dance, jump until you break a sweat. You can jump for a few minutes, ride an exercise cycle or dance to your favorite music. And if you don’t mind being a little cold at first, a mile’s walk around the neighborhood will get you sweating pretty quickly. Source: WikiHow

Switch between hot and cold water in the shower
Hot showers immediately warm you up, but cold showers improve blood circulation between your skin and organs. Cold showers are also correlated with a stronger immune system. Source: MentalFloss

You know what’s the most relaxing way to stay warm during a cold winter night? Step in the sauna! Have one at your home so you can make every night a spa night. Call us!

FPR SURVEY

Morning middle school!

As you know, Future’s Public Radio (FPR) plays music at lunch, per requested by Chartwells. Last year, we had a theme for each day, however since they revolved around Christmas on some days, we’ve decided it’s time for a few new ones. Because it’s your lunch, we’d like you to decide. We’ve already put a few in place, so you don’t have to do as much, such as “Movie Monday” where we play music written for, or featured in movies, as well as this we have pop Wednesday, as pop Tuesday seemed to be simple last year, and Friday will be a day where STUCO will play their choice of music one Friday, and the next will be Flashback Friday, just like Throwback Thursday we had before.

This incredibly short survey:https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VF2DRF2 will be very easy, and we ask that you all take it. As stated in the survey, if you have any questions about any themes, emailava.nunan@student.isb.bj.edu.cnkatie.chao@student.isb.bj.edu.cnorjoseph.henderschedt@student.isb.bj.edu.cn
