You can save a lot of time off bathroom cleaning, by creating a
bathroom cleaning kit that you store in the room. Fill a cleaning caddy
with all the tools you need to clean a bathroom. Be sure to store the
caddy in a safe location in the bathroom. Not having to search for your
cleaning supplies will make your cleaning more efficient.
Having
the supplies for cleaning the bathroom all together at the beginning of
the job is essential to avoiding distractions. Running downstairs to
grab the broom, might make you wonder if the mail has come yet. When you
check the mail you decide to file some of it. A letter reminds you to
call a family member. Before you know it the bathroom is the last thing
on your mind.
Don’t worry about anything except the dirty clothes.
Don’t interrupt your clothes gathering mission by throwing away trash
or putting away bottles of shampoo. Only worry about the dirty clothing.
Don’t bother trying to turn socks right side out or unfold pant legs.
Just throw it all in the hamper or basket.
Spray
down the shower, sink, and toilet so that your cleanser can get a head
start working through the grime and dirt. While you wait, pick up
clutter, clean out the medicine cabinet, and straighten any linens.
There’s no need to scrub when a little pre-soak will make your work
easier.
A washing machine is a great
place to wash a plastic shower curtain. Pre-spray the curtain with your
shower cleaner and throw it in the wash. Add in dirty cleaning rags and
wash normally. Pull the shower curtain out of the washer when the cycle
is over and hang again in the bathroom.
A
toothbrush makes a great tool for cleaning the crevices in a bathroom.
To make sure you know which is a cleaning toothbrush and which is a
personal toothbrush, mark the cleaning brush with permanent stripes on
the handle. Use the toothbrush to clean grout lines, faucet fittings,
and more.
