When it comes to keeping a tidy home, one of the most important rooms to clean is the bathroom.
Cleaning the bathroom isn’t a chore that tops many people’s lists, but regular cleaning is essential to maintaining a clean and healthy home. While you may not want to clean your entire bathroom every day, doing small things such as wiping down the counters, faucet and sink, and spot-cleaning the mirror can give your bathroom a daily perk-up. The rest can be taken care of in a weekly routine.
The following tips will help you clean your bathroom like a pro (Note that professional cleaning companies like CinLee always wear latex gloves when cleaning a restroom):
- Clean up the clutter – Pick up loose debris from the floor and counters and put it in the garbage can. Use a vacuum or broom to remove dust, dirt, and scraps of toilet paper, Q-tips and anything else that remains on the floor.
- Be sure to disinfect – Spray the sink area, shower walls, tub, doorknob, and toilet with a disinfecting cleaner. Make sure that the product you use is a cleaner and a disinfectant so you remove both dirt and germs.
- Let the disinfectant soak– Don’t wipe up the disinfectant off of surfaces right away. To kill germs, it needs time to soak on surfaces.
- Plunge first – Before cleaning the inside of your toilet, use a plunger to reduce the water level. Then use your favorite toilet cleaner and brush to clean the inside of the toilet and under the rim. Let the cleaner soak for a few minutes and then flush the toilet.
- Wipe top to bottom – Use microfiber towels to wipe the disinfectant spray from surfaces starting at the highest points in the room and moving down toward the floor. Microfiber acts like a magnet to grab and hold dirt and germs, versus your old t-shirt or cloth rags that push dirt around but don’t remove anything. Use a different towel to clean to clean only the toilet.
- Leave a shine – Use a window spray and a clean microfiber towel to clean your mirror and other glass surfaces.
- Ditch the wet mop – Clean the floor last. Professionals use a microfiber flat mop and disinfectant cleaner. String mops and wet mops can spread germs rather than eliminating them.
