Bathroom Cleaning
One job that I hate to do is clean the bathroom. Why?
Because with everyone in my house is using it and because of
this the bathroom is constantly getting dirty. Everyday it
becomes necessary to make cleaning the bathroom a daily
chore. It is a dirty job, and I am the one who is stuck
doing it.
Cleaning the bathroom is my least favorite cleaning chore in
the house. Scrubbing the toilet, cleaning dried up
toothpaste, emptying the trashcan. It not fun at all. I
rather take the garbage out on a cold winter day!
Nevertheless, someone has to it. A room needs to constantly
be maintained to keep our families healthy. Germs and
viruses cover the bathroom. The sink contains over 5000
germs and viruses alone.
If you are having trouble getting started, knowing what to
use, or knowing what to do, there is help. Me!
Bathrooms need to be cleaned often. Unlike other rooms in
your home, they cannot be just “picked up” and still be
considered clean. An agenda I created will help make
bathroom cleanup quicker and easier. You will be able to
maintain the cleanliness of the bathroom without spending
hours scrubbing and disinfecting. These tips can help to
teach your children the necessities of a clean bathroom
without cleaning all day.
Here is how:
1. Grab your supplies: Having the
supplies for cleaning the bathroom all together at the
beginning of the job is essential to avoiding distractions.
Running downstairs to grab the broom, might make you wonder
if the mail has come yet. When you check the mail, you
decide to file some of it. A letter reminds you to call a
family member. Before you know it, the bathroom is the last
thing on your mind.
2. Grab all dirty clothing and put it in a hamper:
Do not worry about anything except the dirty clothes. Do not
interrupt your clothes-gathering mission by throwing away
trash or putting away bottles of shampoo. Only worry about
the dirty clothing. Do not bother trying to turn socks right
side out or unfold pant legs. Just throw it all in the
hamper or basket.
3. Grab all trash and put in the trash can: Again, focus
only on the trash.
4. Take a disinfectant wipe down the sink and
tub: Our goal here is to get the sink and tub
presentable. Casually wipe down the tub. You may need to
spend more time on the sink.
5. Using a toilet brush and toilet cleaner, briefly
scrub out the inside of the toilet: This is not a
full out scrubbing of the toilet. We are maintaining from
the last time we scrubbed, or quickly getting it presentable
enough for unexpected guests.
6. Using a disinfectant wipe, wipe down the outside
of the toilet: Using the wipe it will not take long
to briefly run over the outer surface of the toilet. You can
quickly scrub out the most obvious dirt.
7. Using glass cleaner or vinegar, wipe down the
mirror: I like to put a little time into this task
even when I am in a hurry. Guests will probably spend the
most time examining themselves in your mirror. They will
inevitably notice dinginess and streaks.
8. Pickup all the items belonging in another room:
Put them in a basket, box, or bag.
9. Return items that belong in the bathroom to their
proper places: Do not take time to reorganize the
medicine or linen cabinets. Just place the items back where
they belong. Leave organizing for when you have more time.
10. Sweep or mop: Briefly sweep the floor.
Worry about the main traffic area. If you have a Swifter,
Ready mop, or something similar, it can take just a few
seconds to mop.
11. Put away your supplies: Do not forget
to take 3 seconds to marvel at your efficiency.
Remember:
- Making these steps a routine maintenance for the
bathroom will make each cleaning go a lot faster.
- Disinfectant wipes can be expensive to use.
- Having all your bathroom supplies for this job
stored together can make the job easier. If you have to
hunt all over the house for supplies, you will eat away
your time and make the job much longer. Be cautious
about storage of dangerous chemicals where children or
pets can reach them.
