The one place in your home that should definitely always remain clean is your bathroom (we are talking toilet and bathroom) and that’s simply because it is prone to loads of bacteria because of the different activities that go on in there. Do you want to make your bathroom sparkle? Following these bathroom cleaning tips that we have put together and you will in no time get a pretty CLEAN bathroom.
-
Cleaning the Toilet
Spray the closet/toilet bowl inside and exterior with toilet disinfectant and liquid toilet soap. Let it sit on the inside while you use a foam sponge (for absorbing) to wipe the rim and the outside of the bowl, lid, behind the seat, all the way down to the floor and around the base of the toilet.
After the wipe down then pick your brush to clean the inside of the bowl, then flush. To remove tough toilet bowl rings, you can either use vinegar or a pumice stone to do a quick job.

Move to the Bath tub and Shower
After the toilet bowl you can then go ahead to focus on your bathtub or shower. Wet the surface with water and the same cleaner used for the toilet. Using a scrub brush or sponge (whichever you prefer), work from the top; that is you scrub the walls from the top and then make your way down to the floor or the tub. To get to the tiny crevices, try using an old toothbrush so you can make sure everywhere is clean. Rinse then take a look to see if any surface still needs cleaning, and then go ahead to re-clean till you are satisfied.
-
Cleaning the Sink
Move all items from the counter area, spray the counter with a disinfectant that’s safe for the surface (wood or glass) you have. Spray the sink with household cleaner and/or soap.
A regular household sponge specifically for cleaning works well for bathroom sinks and counters. Use the toothbrush to scrub around the faucet and drain to loosen any toothpaste gunk that might have accumulated.
When you’ve finished, rinse the sink well with fresh water then, using cotton rag wipe down the entire counter, faucet, and sink. Clean any wooden surfaces with furniture polish to protect from water stains.
-
Cleaning Mirrors
Using a soft lint free cleaning cloth, this is to make sure that there are no particles left on the mirror after cleaning, give the mirror a quick once over to remove any loose particles of dirt.
Using the same cloth, spray your cleaning cloth with and wipe down the mirror.
QUICK TIP:
Streakless Window Cleaner
A quick and easy homemade cleaner for windows and mirrors can be made using vinegar and alcohol.
Pour 1 cup rubbing alcohol with 1 cup water and 1 tablespoon vinegar in a spray bottle. Spray on a clean lint free cloth or old newspaper and wipe down the mirror.
Rubbing alcohol evaporates and does not leave a residue; vinegar also leaves no residue and is a disinfectant.
What Not To Do When Cleaning a Mirror
Do not spray cleaner directly on mirrors. It can produce a dim, stained look on the edges if not wiped down completely. It can also get behind frames and depending on the material of the frame, it could damage it.
-
Cleaning the Bathroom Floor
Last but not least, the floor. Use a disinfectant in your soap mix; this will deodorize and kill any mold and mildew that may be on the surface. Wash, mop and dry the floor then put back any rugs that should be in the room back in place.
We know cleaning a bathroom, or any room for that matter takes a whole lot of time but if you follow these simple steps you will find that cleaning does not have to be so hard.
