In my last two blogs I covered the most difficult areas of the bathroom to clean, the sink and tub. While it is best to do a deep, thorough cleaning at least once-a-week, you should also maintain it on a daily basis.
Maintaining a clean bathroom is not only sanitary but you will feel better about using it. You will also feel comfortable with others using it, whether it’s planned or surprise company that stops by.
Maintaining a clean bathroom can be done with a few swipes. For me the most important areas are the mirror, sink, toilet and tub. Granted, this pretty much makes up the majority of a bathroom but they are also highly used so I want to keep them as clean and sanitary as possible.
It will take less than 5 minutes to maintain a clean bathroom. It starts with the tub. As soon as you are done taking a shower or bath, you spray it with either a self-scrubbing formula or any type of cleaner that is designed for use in a bathroom. Depending on the product you use, it may be left to do its thing or you may need to wipe. But this should literally take just a couple of minutes.
I use Lysol wipes for the sink and toilet. I do a quick run around the faucets, inside the sink and on the counter. Then I use another wipe for the toilet. Sometimes it requires two but I quickly wipe the lid of the seat, the inside of the seat and down on the bottom, where misfirings sometimes make a mess.
This takes about a minute to do. It really is just a quick wipe. But when you do it on a daily basis, it helps overall. Then I end with the mirror. Just one quick spray of glass cleaner, a wipe with a paper towel and I can walk away feeling good.
When you maintain your bathroom on a daily basis, then your weekly deep cleaning won’t be as bad.
