A lot of people find bathrooms (whether their own or other people’s) the least desirable place when house cleaning. Here are several tips on how to make this chore a lot easier:

Schedule your cleaning. Assign one day a week when you’ll tackle this chore.If you wish, you may even set a timer on yourself. Give yourself an hour. During this time, you can focus all your energy on cleaning. This way, you won’t procrastinate and you won’t end up having a dirty bathroom at the beginning of a new week.

Be organized. Store all your bathroom cleaning supplies (rubber gloves, cleaners, sponges, rags, and spritzer bottle) in one bucket or container with a carrying handle. Don’t forget to wash rags and sponges in hot water and bleach (and dried proerply) after cleaning so that they won’t breed bacteria.

Before you begin scrubbing, remove items from counter tops, sinks, ledges and cupboard tops. Place them in a box and leave outside the bathroom door. This way, you can wet, scrub, and dry everything to your hearts contents.

Scrub the inside of the toilet with a toilet brush and wipe the tank, the lid, and the seat. Don’t forget to empty the bathroom trash container. Replace the trash bag if necessary.

Disinfect door knobs and drawer handles with germ kiling cleaners.

Make sure that everything is clean and dry before returning toiletries and other personal effects.

Leave wet wipes so you can wipe away spills or dirt during the rest of the week so when bathroom cleaning day arrives, cleaning will be relatively easier.
