To clean a bathroom effectively, here is a general step-by-step guide:
- Clear off all surfaces by removing items like shampoo, soap, towels, rugs, and trash bins to give you room to clean thoroughly.
- Dust your bathroom from top to bottom, including corners, blinds, windowsills, and baseboards to catch all dust and cobwebs.
- Scrub and rinse the shower or tub with a bathroom or all-purpose cleaner, and clean glass doors with a glass cleaner.
- Clean the sink, faucet, and countertops using an all-purpose cleaner; polish mirrors with a glass cleaner.
- Clean the toilet by applying toilet cleaner inside, scrubbing with a toilet brush, and wiping down the exterior and seat with disinfectant.
- Clean the bathroom floors by first removing all items, sweeping or vacuuming dust and debris, then mopping with an all-purpose cleaner and warm water.
- Organize and wipe down items before placing them back to ensure surfaces stay clean.
- Ventilate the room well during cleaning, especially when using chemical cleaners like bleach.
- Consider routine cleaning and wiping down wet tiled surfaces after showers to prevent buildup.
Key cleaning supplies needed include all-purpose cleaner, toilet and shower cleaners, glass cleaner, disinfectant spray or wipes, microfiber cloths, a toilet brush, scrub brush or sponge, mop, broom, rubber gloves, and a squeegee for glass. Following these steps methodically ensures a clean, hygienic, and fresh-smelling bathroom.
