What is your least favorite room in the house to clean? Probably the least favorite for most people is the bathroom. More often than not, the bathroom is probably the last room to be cleaned because of its low status and so probably doesn't get cleaned as often as it should. Do you know how to clean a bathroom in 10 minutes or less?
All bathrooms have the basic sink, toilet and tub/shower. Then from there a whole bunch more can be added in. Bathrooms can be different sizes as well as designed differently. When you are in a rush, things tend to get left out. When this process continues and nothing is ever put away the clutter begins to build up and the bathroom is used only when absolutely necessary.
Everyone should know how to clean a bathroom. The bathroom is where we clean ourselves and attend to certain personal needs. This room must be kept orderly and cleaned. If not cleaned on a regular basis, such as once a week, then germs, mildew and other toxins can take over and the room will become very unhealthy to anyone who inhabits it. If you keep control of clutter, wipe down mirrors and counter tops when done, remove dirty towels and clothes when leaving the room then you can clean this busy room in a very short period of time.
If you think that putting brushes and bottles away underneath the counter is cleaning, think again. Cleaning is when you use a product of some sort to remove the dirt and soap scum and other build-ups from various surfaces in the bathroom. So once you have put everything where it belongs and you are back to your basic bathroom, you can begin to clean it.
Most of us learn how to clean a bathroom as we are growing up; it becomes our "chore" list or at least part of it is anyway. We start by cleaning the mirror or taking out the garbage. Then perhaps sweeping the floor will be added next. These certainly help to get the job done; however knowing how to clean the sink, toilet and bathtub will complete the entire cleaning process. Once you have these down, the rest of it's a breeze.
You can learn how to clean a bathroom in 10 minutes but you have to know what you are doing and you should have a system. In addition, you have to keep the bathroom organized and picked up before leaving the room each time. Remember, if things are put away when you are done with them it will save you time later. It's kinds of like taking preventative measures so that things don't get any worse.
For arguments sake, everything in your bathroom is put away, the dirty clothes and towels are in the hamper and the garbage was taken out the night before you are ready to clean. Spray down the shower with a product that works on soap scum, and while that is working wipe down the sink, fixtures and counter tops with an all-purpose cleaner. Now it's time to wipe down the shower and don't forget to rinse it well. Now the most important thing that most hate to clean is the toilet. Use a toilet brush and brush the inside of the bowl and under the rim with a toilet bowl cleaner. An all-purpose or antibacterial cleaner and a paper towel works well with wiping the tank, lid and pedestal.
Can you see how to clean a bathroom in 10 minutes? Well, maybe fifteen or twenty is more appropriate time frame for most. My point is if you keep the room clean, wipe things down (counter tops, sinks, shower walls) when you are done using them, when it's time to really clean the bathroom it won't take you very long at all.
