How to clean your bathroom

Clean bathroom is what everyone wants. Here are some steps to clean your bathroom:

Preparation

1. Remove all the items that don't belong in your bathroom. Take all other items out of the bathroom. This includes items that don't belong in the bathroom, such as clothing and remove everything that is standing on the floor.

2. Pour a bleach or another disinfectant into the toilet bowl. Pour a bleach or another disinfectant into the toilet bowl and put the toilet brush inside the toilet with the actual brush inside the hole. This will help to sanitize the brush and get dirt off it.

3. Vacuum or sweep the floor. Start by vacuuming the floor or sweeping the floor. Vacuuming is preferred since it will remove all dust and hair. (Alternatively, you can wait until everything else is clean before you vacuum or sweep in order to make sure you get rid of the dust or other bits that fell on the floor while you were cleaning.)

Cleaning

1. Clean the wall, windows and/or ceiling. If you have mold on the ceiling start with spraying a water bleach solution on it and let it rest for a couple of minutes, do the same with the walls ( if they are tiles) or use another cleaning product. Clean the bathroom window on the in and outside. Go back to the ceiling and start scrubbing you will see that any dirt or mold easily come off. Rinse it carefully to avoid any stripes and dry it with a chamois or old towel. Do the same with the walls.

2. Spray an anti lime product on the faucets. Be sure to use an appropriate product for it otherwise this could damage them. Test it out on a non-visible spot before you actually use it. Spray the product on any material that is made out of stainless steel. Let it work for a couple of minutes.

3. Clean the shower. Spray an appropriate cleaning product on the shower walls,and the shower head and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Spray cleansers made especially for getting rid of soap scum work very well on tubs that haven't been cleaned in a while. For hard water areas that are prone to green and rust-colored stains, a cleanser made for eliminating calcium, lime and rust is probably what you need. Never use abrasive cleaners or green abrasive scrub pads or steel wool on porcelain fixtures, as they will quickly dull the finish. While you are waiting do the same with the tub.

   • Go back to the shower and scrub the walls,faucet and shower head, rinse well with the hottest water and or dry with a chamois, you can use the squeegee also to make them dryer. You can shine the faucet with a paper towel or a towel. Do the same thing for the tub.
   • Don't forget the shower curtain; it is also prone to mildew. A solution of about 2/3 water, 1/3 bleach in a spray bottle (designated for this express purpose!) can be handy for getting rid of mildew spots. Or you can take it down and wash it in hot water with a small amount of soap and bleach.

4. Clean the sink and counter area. You may use whichever cleaning product you used on the tub, but use it sparingly as it is harder to rinse the soap off a counter. Scrub all the soap scum and tooth paste off, rinsing your sponge thoroughly as you go along. A toothbrush or cotton swabs can be handy for getting the junk out from between the tap and handles. Be sure never to clean the sink and counter area with the same rag or paper towel you used to clean the toilet. This can spread leftover disease-causing germs to your sink and counter area. To prevent this you can use a specific rag which you use to clean only the toilet.

   • Wipe off the fronts and tops of cabinets and drawers. You'll probably want to use hot, soapy water for this purpose. If you're worried about germs on these surfaces, add a bit of bleach to your soapy water.
   • Clean the mirror or any other shiny object with a cleaner, rinse it and wipe the excessive water off with a squeegee and a chamois. To add a shine to your mirror add a bit vinegar to the water.

5. Clean the toilet. Wipe the exterior of the toilet, starting with the flush handle so as not to re-contaminate it, with a cloth soaked in disinfectant cleaner. Don't forget to use a cloth specially assigned for cleaning the toilet, or a paper towel (throw it away, don't flush it). Scrub the bowl with a toilet brush and flush.

   • Every few cleanings, remove stubborn, fouled hard water and other deposits. This common, often inconspicuous odor source can be tricky to remove. Thoroughly wash and rinse all exterior surfaces of the toilet bowl, including the underside and flared base, the top and underside of the seat and lid, and the hinges and their mounting area with a cloth and detergent or similar cleaner. You probably won't have to scrub hard: let the soapy water and patience dissolve the problem. Coat the inside of the bowl with a viscous acidic cleaner generally sold in an angle-necked bottle. Take special care to cover the entire inside edge of the rim; it'll run down toward other areas. Allow the cleaner to soak for half an hour or more before scrubbing the entire bowl including under the rim with a toilet bowl brush, let it soak a little longer after it's been well-distributed though thinned by the initial scrubbing, then scrub some more and flush it away.

6. Mop or scrub the floor, starting with the farthest point from the door. Hot soapy bleach water will work best. Remember to rinse the floor with clean water to remove slippery soap residue. Be sure to get along the sides of your toilet bowl where it is anchored to the floor. This area is notoriously dirty. Don't forget to clean the base boards or base molds these places usually accumulates a lot of dust.

7. Dispose of your mop water and throw away any dirty cloths and or sponges.

8. Place all the items back that you took out once the floor is dry.
