Most Finns know to dry their bathroom floors after showering, but many forget to dry the walls, which can lead to costly maintenance issues.
A recent survey conducted by Ilta-Sanomat highlights a common oversight among Finnish residents regarding bathroom maintenance after showering. While 84% of respondents claim they dry their shower floors, there is significant room for improvement in drying the walls, a task that is often neglected. This oversight can lead to the buildup of limescale and other damaging residues that can complicate cleaning and maintenance in the long run.
Inka Leinonen, a cleaning entrepreneur from Nordicshine Oy, stresses the importance of drying surfaces immediately after showering to prevent limescale buildup. The survey results suggest that, while Finns are generally diligent about drying floors, more education and awareness are needed regarding the proper care of shower walls. The buildup of limescale not only presents aesthetic problems but can also incur higher cleaning and maintenance costs over time if not addressed promptly.
The findings from this survey prompt a call to action for Finnish households to adopt better bathroom maintenance habits. By simply drying the walls after using the shower, residents can save themselves headaches in the future and maintain a cleaner, more hygienic environment. As the results reflect a keen awareness about floor drying, it is crucial to extend the same diligence to all surfaces in the bathroom for optimal upkeep.
