2. Declutter and Prep
Start by removing all items from countertops, shelves, and the shower. This includes towels, rugs, bottles, and any decorative items. Clearing the space allows you to clean every nook and cranny without obstructions.
3. Dust and Sweep
Dust off light fixtures, vents, and window sills using a microfiber cloth or a duster. Corners and edges collect the most dust, so be sure to give them extra care. To get rid of any stray dust or hairs, sweep the bathroom floor after dusting. This step ensures that your cleaning efforts are more effective.
4. Tackle the Shower and Bathtub
Begin by applying a generous amount of bathroom cleaner to the shower walls, tub, and fixtures. For best results in removing stubborn filth and soap scum, give the cleaner a few minutes to sit. In the meantime, you can move on to the next task.
5. Clean the Vanity and Sink
Spray the sink, faucet, and countertop with a bathroom cleaner. Use a clean cloth to wipe down these surfaces, paying attention to any stubborn spots. For hard-to-reach areas around the faucet, use an old toothbrush to scrub away grime.
6. Make Your Toilet Sparkle
Cleaning the toilet might not be glamorous, but it’s essential. Pour toilet cleaner into the bowl and use a toilet brush to scrub thoroughly. Don’t forget to clean the toilet seat, lid, and exterior with disinfectant wipes. For an extra fresh scent, consider adding a toilet bowl freshener.
7. Return to the Shower and Bathtub
Now that the cleaner has had time to work its magic, scrub the shower walls and tub using a scrub brush. To remove any cleaner residue, rinse well. To obtain a streak-free shine on your glass shower doors, use Al Clean’s glass cleaner.
8. Polish Mirrors and Windows
Spray glass cleaner onto a microfiber cloth and wipe down mirrors and windows. Use a circular motion to prevent streaks and achieve a sparkling finish.
9. Refresh Grout and Tiles
To make a paste for grout and tiles, combine baking soda and water. Spread the paste onto the grout lines and allow it to remain for a few minutes. Scrub the grout with a small brush, such as an old toothbrush, and rinse with water. This will help remove stains and brighten the grout.
10. Mop the Floor
Finally, mop the bathroom floor. You can use a store-bought floor cleaner or make a natural solution by mixing half a cup of white vinegar with a gallon of warm water. Dip your mop into the solution, wring it out well, and mop the floor, starting from the farthest corner and working your way toward the door.
11. Replace and Organize
With the bathroom now clean, it’s time to replace your items. Take this opportunity to toss out expired products and organize your belongings. Consider using storage baskets or organizers to keep things tidy and easily accessible.
Bathroom Cleaning is one of those chores that you can’t ignore to do. Bathrooms harbor a multitude of bacteria and grime that remain unseen to the naked eye until it keeps building up through the days and one day God forbid one of the members of the house falls sick. One of the reasons could be an unkept bathroom so make sure to do a routine cleaning of your bathroom everyday-only the minimal cleaning so your bathroom always looks safe and fresh.
