First up, they recommend “avoiding black matte fittings due to the obvious limescale and calcium build-up that can occur”.
Instead, 9Creation suggests opting for “chrome and white or gun metal fittings instead”.
“Avoid dark tiles in your shower due to the obvious watermarks and soap scum that will show up,” the makers of the video explained.
“Also choose light coloured tiles and avoid small feature tiles due to them having lots of grout lines which means they are difficult to clean.”
When it comes to the measurements of your bathroom tiles, the video recommended going for “30×60 or 60×60 big tiles”.
The interior design experts also said to “avoid a glass shelf due to it getting dirty easily because of watermarks”.
They recommend going for a shower ledge or niche instead.
9Creation’s video received more than five million views and people in the comments were divided as to whether they agreed with the tips or not.
“If you don’t know how to maintain your bathroom, avoid it, LOL,” said one.
“Or just clean your bathroom more often,” said a second.
“Don’t be lazy, nice things need upkeep,” added a third.
However, others praised the video’s recommendations.
“Learning the hard way now about the black matte,” said one.
“Brilliant tips,” said another.
“Finally, someone talking about these things and making some sense,” added a third.
