Guide To Clean A Bathroom In 5 Steps

Starting and finishing your day in a sparkling clean bathroom makes life a little more enjoyable. But there is a catch- someone actually has to do the cleaning of the bathroom consistently! Cleaning your bathroom doesn't have to be as difficult and time consuming as you might think. Here's our guide to five simple steps that will get the job done fast. So, grab your rubber gloves, long handled duster, vinegar, mop and a handful of cleaning cloths before you begin cleaning your bathroom.

Step One
You're going to clean your bathroom literally starting at the top. Grab a duster that has a long handle and start dusting the ceiling. Once the ceiling is done, work your way down the walls. By working in a downwards motion any dust and debris will move to the floor (where you will clean last). Once the walls and ceiling are done then dust the bathroom door back and front, the tops of tiles that might be on the walls, and any cabinetry, shower rods and vanities that meet the back of the walls and collect dust on little ledges. The main focus in step one is to dust everything beginning at the top and always dusting downwards. Once you get into a regular cleaning routine you will find that dusting takes only a minute or two to complete.

Step Two
Next step is to clean the shower and bath. Again, begin cleaning from the top and work your way down using a cleaning solution of diluted vinegar. If your shower is in need of some heavy duty cleaning then use a more powerful solution or leave the vinegar on to soak for some time. A specific cleaning agent for mould removal might be needed if your shower is particularly grubby. Remember to clean the faucets thoroughly too. Finally, give your tub and shower a thorough rinsing with clean water.

Step Three
Time to move on to the basin and vanity top. These areas can become very dirty very quickly, but before you can give them a good clean you need to remove all the bits and pieces that are in your way. Toothbrush holders, soap, razors and so on are all going to slow your cleaning down so quickly remove them and proceed to clean the sink with your vinegar solution. Again, remember to clean the faucets and pay particular attention to the drainage hole where soap scum builds up in the basin.

If you have a mirror above your vanity then it surely deserves to be cleaned and left sparkling too. Wiping over all the surfaces you've cleaned with a dry cloth will give them a sparkling finish. When you are done put all the items back on the vanity minus those things that should be stored away inside the cabinets. The less clutter in your bathroom; the more peaceful your bathroom will feel.

Step Four
You can't put it off any longer- it's time to clean the toilet. If you aren't wearing your rubber gloves already, now is the time to put them on. Using the toilet brush and vinegar solution start cleaning under the rim and work your way downward. After that, you should switch to the tank, the seat and that hard to reach area beneath the tank. You may not see what's there, but rest assured, there is a lot of dust and grime that must go if you want your bathroom to have a clean smell. After you have cleaned all those areas give the outside of the toilet bowl a good wipe over.

Step Five
Finally, it's time to clean the floor. Vacuum the floor clear of hair strands and dust first. Then, use a wet mop and a cleaning solution to clean the entire floor. If there are stubborn stains you can't get rid of, then some good old elbow grease might be required. Use a rag and scrub away stubborn stains. Once the floor is clean leave it to air dry or wipe it down if you want a completely streak free and sparkling shine.

And now your bathroom is a welcoming oasis for you to relax and unwind in at the end of your productive day! Cleaning your bathroom once a week following these five steps will keep the cleaning time minimal and your daily bathing routine pleasant.
