6 Quick Bathroom Clean Up Tips
An ultra-fast bathroom cleanup
1. Double duty doorknob
Use the doorknob as a bag hanger. Leftover bags from your latest shopping trip can catch your dirty cleaning wipes and the wastebasket trash. This tip came from an article in Better Homes and Gardens and I’ve used it for years. It really does help streamline to process of cleaning up as you go.
2. Toilet time
Spray the toilet bowl with your favorite toilet cleaner, then move on for the moment as it soaks the crud away. Better yet, keep a bleach tablet in the tank and you’ll never need anything more than a quick swish of your brush along the rim of the toilet.
3. Shine that bathroom
Use Windex or other glass cleaning wipes to shine your faucets, sink, mirror, shower door and other hardware. Everything in a bathroom looks better when it shines.
4. Wipe away the germs
Clorox disinfecting wipes will kill the lurking germs in your bathroom. Use them to wipe surfaces such as the back of the toilet, the seat, the toilet handle, both the inside and outside of your wastebasket. The wipes will kill germs and you won’t have to worry about spray cleaners splattering onto your clothes.
5. Fresh and tidy
Put out a fresh hand towel for your visitors. Put out fresh bath towels only if you have the time. Otherwise, straighten the bath towels so they look neat and tidy and leave them for later.
6. Floor finishes
To finish off, shake out your rug or bath mat, and wipe up the corners and over the edges where hair and dust collect. Collect your used wipes and throw them in your trash bag. Grab your plastic bag and you’re out of there, leaving behind a fresh and sparkling bathroom.
Using these tips will turn your bathroom from scummy to sparkling in minutes.
For the quickest clean up, remember to keep a bleach tablet in your toilet tank and disinfecting wipes under the counter or on a shelf. For more about storing your supplies where you need them, read “Where do YOU hide cleaning supplies?“.
