9 Simple Steps To A Squeaky Clean Bathroom
Bathrooms should always be kept as clean as possible, but with busy households and messy inhabitants, this often isn’t the case. Maybe you want to keep your bathroom clean but there’s always someone using it when you want to start cleaning it. Or perhaps you simply haven’t had the time to keep on top of it.
Many homeowners hire cleaning services in Fort Myers to help them get their bathrooms clean, and if their services are used often enough (at least weekly), this can be enough to keep it in a hygienic state. But for all those ‘in between professional clean’ times, or when hiring a cleaning company simply isn’t an option, it can be hard to know how to get your bathroom clean without it taking up half of an entire day.
Whatever the reason for your bathroom being in need of a good clean from top to bottom, here are 9 simple steps to getting it squeaky clean in next to no time:
1. Declutter all surfaces
Remove as many items as you possibly can from all surfaces - and the entire bathroom, in fact - so that you can clean everywhere more effectively.
2. Dust from top to bottom
Dust the bathroom from top to bottom as thoroughly as you can, using the vacuum cleaner and its attachments to eliminate as much dust and grime as you can.
3. Clean the shower and tub
With your favourite all-purpose cleaning solution, gently wash away all traces of soap scum and shampoo etc from the shower and/or tub. Wipe glass doors down with white vinegar.
4. Clean the sink and vanity
Using the same all-purpose cleaner, wipe down the sink, faucets and any countertops and vanities, before using white vinegar to clean the mirror.
5. Tackle the toilet
Begin by squirting a strong toilet cleaner under the rim of the toilet and into the bowl. Depending on how often you clean your toilet, you may find some scrubbing is required to get rid of any staining. Don’t forget to sanitize the flush, seat and exterior of the toilet, too.
6. Clean the floor
It’s important that before you clean the bathroom floor, you remove everything that is likely to obstruct you. Begin by vacuuming from corner to corner, and then when you’re sure every last bit of dust and debris has gone, mop the floor and leave it to dry for a few minutes.
7. Reorganize and wipe down before replacing items
Before returning everything to your bathroom, check through it all to see if anything can be thrown away or donated. Check also that if bottles and lotions are going back in, that they’re clean and won’t be leaving any dirty marks on surfaces.
8. Take precautions to prevent future staining
It only takes a few seconds to wipe shampoo and lotion bottles down after each use, but it can make such a big difference in terms of reducing stains on surfaces and unsightly grime.
9. Hire a cleaning company in Fort Myers
Finally, although not everyone will want to hire a professional cleaning company, or be in a position to do so, it’s one of the quickest and most effective ways to keep your bathroom as clean as possible, more of the time.
Bathrooms should be kept hygienically clean, and by following the 9 quick steps above on a regular basis, you can enjoy a sweeter smelling, cleaner looking bathroom, all of the time.
