Cleaning Made Simple: 7 Easy Ways to Tackle Your Bathroom
1. Start with the right tools
Your bathroom is one of the most frequently used rooms in your home, so it's no surprise that it can get dirty quickly. However, keeping your bathroom clean doesn't have to be a daunting task. With these seven easy tips, you can tackle your bathroom and have it sparkling clean in no time.
2. Clear the Clutter
Before you start cleaning, make sure you have the right tools for the job. A good quality scrub brush, microfiber cloths, rubber gloves, a bucket, and a cleaning solution that is appropriate for your bathroom surfaces will help make your cleaning task much more manageable.
3. The Toilet
Clearing out any clutter and removing items such as bath mats and towels help to give you a larger space where you can identify what needs cleaning.
4. Sink and Countertop
Using gloves and toilet-cleaning solution, scrub the bowl, the top, the base, and any other visible areas. Don't forget the exterior part, which could use a good wipe down as well.
5. Shower and Tub
Spray a bathroom-safe cleaner like bleach, or vinegar on your sink, countertop, and bathroom fixtures, let it sit for a minute or two and clean with a microfiber cloth. This step will help to remove any bacteria that may be lurking there.
6. Tackle the floors
Spray down soap scum in your shower and tub before scrubbing it off with a brush. For tougher buildup, make a paste using baking soda and water and let it sit for a few minutes before you scrub. Rinse and squeegee afterward to keep your glass, fixtures, and tiles free from cleaning residue.
7. Don't forget the details
Sweep or vacuum the bathroom floors to remove any hairs, dust, or dirt. Once you've swept, use a mop and a cleaning solution to clean the floors thoroughly. Ensure that the floors are dried after mopping.
Make your bathroom spa-worthy by paying attention to small details. Change towels, stock up on toilet paper, and put small finishing touches like lighting candles or placing a bouquet of flowers.
By following these seven easy steps, you'll have a sparkling clean bathroom in no time at all. Keeping your bathroom clean doesn't have to be something you dread. With the right tools, a little elbow grease and a plan of action, it can be a straightforward and satisfying task.
