Simple bathroom and kitchen upgrades to make your fall cleaning routine easier

(BPT) - With the school year and busy fall schedules well underway, there are many tasks to complete, errands to run and household chores to tackle. From the morning get-ready-for-school routine to after-school activities, dinnertime, bathtime and bedtime, kitchens and bathrooms see a lot of dirt, grime and germs. To make your fall routine a little easier - and cleaner - Delta Faucet offers innovative, simple and effective solutions to help you minimize the messiness of life.

Here are easy ways to keep key rooms in your home just a little cleaner this season.

Bathroom solutions that make a difference

Feel like your bathroom and shower are always dirty? Help is on the way. The Delta® ProClean™ Hand Shower includes a wide fan, high pressure ProClean™ spray, which cleans shower surfaces at least two times faster than standard sprays by powering off stubborn soap scum, hair and shower messes - even in those hard-to-reach places - without having to step foot into the shower.

Touch-Clean® spray holes allow you to easily wipe away calcium and lime buildup from the spray face of your shower head and hand shower with the touch of a finger - no need for the aid of chemical cleaners.

Hate water spots? Delta® Lumicoat® Finishes easily wipe clean without the need for cleaners or chemicals and are guaranteed to resist mineral buildup and hard water stains. The ultra-sleek surface repels liquids so your bath faucet and shower stay clean longer.

Making this simple upgrade helps you spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying the fall season.

Clean faucet, clean kitchen

Can you name the most frequently touched spots in your kitchen? For most homes, the sink faucet is typically a high-touch area, along with the refrigerator door handle. But unlike the fridge door, most of the hands approaching the faucet are already sticky and grimy - full of food particles, dirt, art project materials or who knows what else. How can you keep this mess contained? With a touchless kitchen faucet from Delta Faucet.

No contact with the faucet is needed to activate a touchless faucet, so whether your hands are full of cookie dough, soap suds or full of veggies needed to be washed, you can turn on the water without making a mess. You'll also breathe easier knowing you're helping to reduce the spread of germs in your home and minimizing cross-contamination when you're handling raw meat or washing produce.

Faucets like the sleek, elegant Delta® Trinsic® Touch2O® Kitchen Faucet with Touchless Technology gives you versatility with three ways to access water. You can either place your hand near the faucet, tap the faucet surface with a hand (or wrist, or elbow …) or just use the handle to turn it on. Whichever option you choose, this faucet is easy for dirty hands, full hands or little hands to use, because washing the mess off your hands shouldn't involve making a mess of your faucet.

Even better, the integrated TempSense™ LED light shows the water temperature as the temperature increases, to eliminate any possible surprise or discomfort from water that's colder or hotter than you expected.

Delta® Touchless faucets are available in an array of styles and finishes to complement any kitchen design style. For example, if you prefer a more traditional, timeless look, you can opt for the classic style of the Delta® Leland® Touch2O® Kitchen Faucet with Touchless Technology.

Easy kitchen and bath upgrades like these can help your home's most used spaces look their best, while also helping to save time in your regular cleaning routines. With less mess and more convenience, everyday moments will center more on what you love about your home - creating memories with loved ones.
