My least favorite room to clean is the bathroom. But you can make cleaning the bathroom easier by spot cleaning.
Spot cleaning in the bathroom should be done as necessary but I also recommend light cleaning on a daily basis. If you do, you will find that it only becomes necessary to deep clean once-a-week. And you have the assurance that your bathroom is always ready for guests.
To make spot cleaning easier, keep cleaning supplies in your bathroom. If you have to retrieve them from another room, you are more likely to forget or just skip it.
For cleaning products I recommend a disinfectant spray, cloth, Lysol (to spray away germs) and Clorox wipes. In my opinion Clorox wipes are great for spot cleaning but I do use them on a daily basis as well.
Now here’s how I clean my bathroom on a daily basis. First, I wait until my children have finished getting ready for the day and they are off to school. There is no point cleaning it before others use it.
The mirror is almost always dirty but I don’t want to necessarily spray cleaner on it everyday so I take the hand towel that has been used and wipe away toothpaste marks and fingerprints. I save the glass cleaner for my once-a-week deep cleaning of the bathroom. Then all I have to do is toss the hand towel in the laundry basket.
Next, I clean the sink. I use a soft cloth and disinfectant spray. It’s just a quick spray and wipe.
Then I use the Clorox wipes to wipe all around the toilet. That includes lifting the lid.
I end with spraying Lysol on the faucet handles, cabinet doors, doorknobs, toilet lever and other areas commonly touched by the family. This is just my way of trying to rid the bathroom of germs.
Because I do this on a daily basis, my bathroom is always clean (at least on a surface level). Then once-a-week I do a deeper cleaning. But having those products on hand also makes spot cleaning easier.
