Fast and simple ways to clean a Bathroom

Saturday, so I have to do these!

Cleaning the Bathroom

We all have them and they all need to be cleaned.  If you have children, the bathrooms can get down right yucky.  Cleaning the bathroom is my least favorite chore.  I take shortcuts wherever possible so I won't spend  a lot of time doing it.  Here are a few things that could speed up your cleaning time, so you can get back to doing the things you enjoy.

• keep a toilet brush next to the toilet in each bathroom
• Pick one day of the week to clean your bathrooms. In between those days, be sure to wipe down the sinks and counters to keep the dried toothpaste to a minimum.  This will make cleaning your sinks and counters faster.
• Keep your cleaning supplies together in a bucket or tube.  I keep a set of cleaning supplies upstairs and one downstairs.  

Here are the things I use to clean the bathroom.

•  multipurpose cleaner- for sinks, counters and toilets
•  glass cleaner- for mirrors and shower doors
•  soft scrub- for the tub or shower
•  roll of paper towels and cleaning rags
•  old toothbrush- for scrubbing tough spots

Now for the cleaning!

1. Pour a little multipurpose cleaner in the toilet bowl, let sit while you clean the rest of the bathroom.
2. Clean the bathroom from top to bottom
3. Start with the mirror.  I use cleaning rags for the mirrors, counters, sinks and tubs.  That way, I can reuse them in the other bathrooms. This helps cut down on my laundry.
4. Clean the sinks and counters next with the multi purpose cleaner.
5. Clean the tub and shower next. use a plastic juice pitcher to rinse the tub and shower walls
6. Clean the outside and the rim of the toilet with the multi purpose spray. Work your way from the outside of the toilet to the inside.  I use paper towels to clean the outside and rim of the toilet, then toss them in the trash when I am done.
7. Grab the toilet brush and clean the bowl.  When you are done, let the brush drain into the toilet by placing the handle between the seat and the bowl.  This will keep the water from collecting in the brush holder.

You are done!!!!!  

Wasn't that fast?

You are probably wondering.... Why didn't she say anything about the floors?  That is because.....

I have another day that is devoted to cleaning just the floors.

Remember:  Cleaning up everyday messes, like toothpaste in the sink, when they happen will make your cleaning day a lot easier.

Happy Cleaning!!!!
