Step by step on how to clean a bathroom
The bathroom, next to the kitchen, must be the cleanest room in the house. However, many of us save the bathroom for last, as it can be an unpleasant area to clean. Multipurpose products that you can use for the rest of the house may be enough for the bathroom; however, you may want to invest in several more powerful products just for this room. Regardless of whether you have the right products or not, if you don’t know how to clean a bathroom properly, you’ll spend more time cleaning than you want to.
Before any cleaning can be done, and this applies to any room, it must be tidied up. Remove all dirty clothes, towels, and rugs. Put away items that may have been left out. If your shower has a lot of soap scum buildup, you can spray the shower with a soap scum remover and let it do its thing while you remove and tidy up the bathroom. This gives enough time for the chemicals in the product to do what they are supposed to do. Since the tub/shower is the most important thing to clean, start here first. Clean the walls, accessories and the area where you are. Don’t forget about the shower door or curtain. When you’re done, give the shower a good rinse to remove all the chemicals that were applied, as well as any germs and grime that were removed.
Learning how to clean a bathroom can differ from home to home, but the end result is still the same, you need to do it often, and it needs to be clean. Once the shower/tub area has been cleaned, the rest of the room is a breeze. Next, dust off shelves and trinkets, wipe down mirrors, and wipe down doors, trim, fixtures, and baseboards from near the ceiling to the floor.
The next step in learning how to clean a bathroom is to clean the sink and countertop. Using a product for cleaning bathroom/kitchen surfaces is perfect for these tasks. What’s left to clean apart from the floor? It’s probably the most dreaded thing to clean in the whole house and that’s the toilet, but it has to be done. If you don’t want to know how to clean a bathroom, you should at least know how to clean a toilet. A quality surface cleaner can be used to clean the tank, toilet seat cover, and pedestal portion of the toilet. The seat, top and bottom as well as the rim of the bowl should be cleaned with toilet bowl cleaner. The bowl itself and under the rim should be cleaned with a toilet brush and toilet bowl cleaner.
Garbage should be emptied and the floor swept and mopped. When mopping, start at the furthest point and work your way out. When you’ve reached the door, you can stand back and look at your nice clean bathroom. For wiping and cleaning, you can use paper towels, but rags and microfiber cloths work great too, and they can be washed and reused. Now that you know how to clean a bathroom, there is no excuse for a dirty toilet.
