How to Clean a Bathroom

Ideally your bathroom should be the cleanest room in your house, but typically it tends to be the most deplorable one to clean. Unfortunately, cleaning a bathroom is an unpleasant job but someone has to do it. So let's get those rubber gloves on, grab that toilet brush and get to work! As with your regular house cleaning, it is a good idea to have a bin to centralize and carry easily all of your cleaning supplies.

But bathrooms can tend to have as many if not more unique cleaning supplies as the entire house! This is why it is a good idea to have two bins, one for the regular house cleaning supplies, and one for just the bathrooms. The bathroom bin should include cleaning supplies such as antibacterial surface cleaner, soap scum and mildew remover, glass cleaner, toilet bowl cleaner, paper towels and or rags, scrub brushes and sponges, floor cleaner, and a drain cleaner. When cleaning the bathroom I prefer to use paper towels. Although perhaps a little more "eco-friendly" to use rags and sponges, there are just so many germs and bacteria in a bathroom that I would rather use something disposable to clean most of the areas in the bathroom.

First thing to do before cleaning your bathroom is to tidy it up. Take any dirty laundry out and be sure floors and surfaces are cleared. This includes any rugs from the floor; these should be washed before they are put back after all your bathroom cleaning is done. To me, the shower tends to be the most difficult part of the bathroom to clean. Soap scum and mildew can be very difficult to remove if it is not cleaned on a regular basis. This being the case, I like to start with cleaning the shower.

This way I get the most physically strenuous job out of the way first while I still have all of my energy and drive. If soap scum is built up in the shower, it is a good idea to let the cleaner soak on it for a short while before you begin to scrub it. Also, be sure not to overlook the shower door and track or the shower curtain (whichever you have in your bathroom). After it has been all scrubbed down, you then want to rinse the shower down completely with hot water. After I finish cleaning the shower, I like to use drain cleaner on it to help it drain faster. This will help your shower remain cleaner for a longer period of time.
