One of the least desirable chores around the house must be cleaning, and cleaning the bathroom is at the top of the list. If you are like most people then you delay it and delay it until it turns into a problem and nothing short of a miracle can sort it out. But this doesn’t have to be the case. By creating a schedule and regularly staying on top of it, you will maintain a clean looking bathroom. These regular cleaning times do not and should not take a long time. They should be quick and easy.
To get your bathroom looking its best you will need some equipment, luckily these are very inexpensive and all bathrooms will have them. The trick is to store them in the bathroom, where you can easily access them. Equipment needed is a squeegee, paper towels, glass cleaner and a scrubber.
Because you have all you need right there in close proximity, you will find it so much easier to stay on top of your cleaning duties, even when you are not in the mood for cleaning, such as when you step out of the shower. This is a very good time to clean the shower doors and walls. It doesn’t have to be thorough, all you need to do is wipe it with the paper towels and you should be done. This simple task will save you so many headaches later on.
You should also establish a daily routine where you give a quick clean to the bathroom. Ideally each task shouldn’t take you more than 2-3 minutes. Mirrors, cabinets, electric towel rails, shower doors, shower curtains, bath tubs etc. only require a quick wipe down with paper towels and they will look their best. The idea is to do this on a daily or maybe every two days. This way dirt stains and smears don’t have time to settle and become very difficult to remove.
You should then set one day in the week to have a proper deep clean and if you have been doing your daily tasks, this will be so much easier and take you very little time. You might even do this once every fortnight.
Having a bathroom that is clean and looking its best is essential if you want it to be a space for forgetting your worries and relaxing, fortunately this is not very hard to achieve if make a cleaning plan and stick to it.
