Friday is bathroom cleaning day in the Claiborne household.
The following tasks are typically done before leaving for work:
- Clean the inside of all toilets with toilet bowl cleaner
- Use sanitizing wipes to wipe down the handles, lids, seat, exterior bowls, tanks and lastly the toilet base. NOTE: Discard dirty wipes frequently when cleaning bathrooms.
- Wipe off and/or dust the toilet paper roll hanger and any bathroom towel hangers
The following tasks are completed Friday evenings:
- Remove non-essential items from counter tops and return them to their designated place
- Wipe down counter tops, faucets and sinks with multi surface cleaner
- Clean bathroom mirrors with glass cleaner
- Clean tubs and showers with an appropriate cleanser for your tub/shower
Cleaning tips:
- I like to keep a minimalist counter top - only the essentials and a couple of decorative items. Non-essentials kept on counters require extra time and effort to clean around.
- If you don't have enough drawer space to store items, consider a pretty glass or mirrored tray, which will keep items together and allow for easy removal during cleaning.
- Our shower is fiberglass and very hard to clean. I've tried various cleaning products over the years (if any of you have a good tip let me know). So far, the best solution I've found (via a Pinterest post) is to use fume free Easy Off Oven Cleaner. You spray it on, let it sit 10 minutes and then wipe clean
Favorite bathroom cleaning products:
- Bar Keepers friend
- Windex
- Home and Planet Multi Surface Cleaner - rose scented
- Lysol toilet bowl cleaner
- Lysol wipes
When the above tasks are completed on Friday, the only thing left to do is sweep/vacuum and mop the bathrooms. In our household, vacuuming and mopping are done on Saturday morning.
I hope these tips help you to keep your bathroom cleaning routine under control. What suggestions do you have for keeping your bathrooms clean and organized? Share your ideas in the comments!
