Cleaning the bathroom is such a chore especially if you are not into your cleaning. For some this will come naturally, for others other than the basics it’s like where do I begin? like to do a good clean of the bathroom once a week. Pick a day that suits you, for me it’s Friday! Then just keep on top of it the rest of the week. For example on a daily basis you may just have to vacuum the floor, clean the toilet & mirrors. I will list a basic method below with products you can use. Hope it helps!
- Start by vacuuming the bathroom when it’s completely dry. Keep a separate cheap vacuum for this or use the pipe attachments to your vacuum cleaner which you can then wash. Investing in a wet vacuum will make life so much easier!
- Spray the grout in between the tiles, shower curtain, lota & any other places you see mould with Astonish mildew remover. You may want to leave the bathroom after this for a few mins whilst it does it job as the smell is quite strong. After a few minutes use a toothbrush if needed to scrub any areas. Wash & wipe thoroughly.
- Scrub the sink & bath tub / shower tray using flash bathroom / Cif. If you have stainless steel parts that have a lot of scum, pink stuff will bring back the shine! Wash thoroughly & wipe the sides.
- Scrub the shower screen with fairy liquid & wash or wipe thoroughly.
- Pour bleach into the sides of the toilet bowl & scrub using a toilet brush. Always buy a toilet brush that is in a closed holder to keep things clean. Start by cleaning the top of the toilet toilet, followed by the back, sides & underneath the toilet with antibacterial wipes. Use a new wipe for each part. Then work your way from the back of the lid, top of the toilet seat, inside of the toilet seat lid & rim of the bowl. Again use a new wipe for each part to keep things clean.
- Wipe any cupboards, its insides , window sills etc using a microfibre cloth & a spray of your choice. I like to use Diluted Zoflora or dettol spray. Don’t forget to give your bin a wipe!
- Clean any mirrors or shiny bits with a window cleaner or your choice & a glass cloth.
- Don’t forget to scrub toothbrush holders etc with good old fairy liquid. Wash & allow to dry before putting it back.
- Give your tiles a wipe using a microfibre cloth & diluted Zoflora or dettol spray. Make sure to squeeze the water out thoroughly to give a streak free finish. You may also need a dry microfibre cloth alongside depending on your tiles. If you have a big bathroom, you may not manage this with all the above on the same day, so you can leave this for another day. You may not need to this every week either.
- Finish off by mopping the floors. Don’t forget to clean your mop after each use.
- Use a wipe to clean the edges of the bathroom. Don’t forget to give your bathroom slippers some tlc too. I like to give them a spray with Astonish mildew remover too & good rinse every so often.
- Finish off with your favourite air freshener!
