10 Steps to a Clean Bathroom

So here is what I suggest...

STEP 1: Before you begin, organize your bathroom so there are no bits and peices in your way and you need to make sure the exhaust fans are going and windows are open!

Get your supplies ready. You will need:

• Sponge
• Old rag
• Rubber gloves
• Bucket
• Glass cleaner
• Cream cleanser
• Disinfectant
• Broom & mop

STEP 2: Shake off any floor mats outside and hang outside to air.

STEP 3: Sweep floor first so that water doesn’t affect your efforts to get rid of hair and dust etc off the floor. Don’t mop yet as we’ll do that last. The floor will probably get wet through this process anyway.

STEP 4: Put on your gloves, lift lid of toilet seat and spray with disinfectant. Do seat and surrounds of toilet too. Do not wipe or scrub, just leave to sit at this stage.

STEP 5: Scrub out bath and shower with cream cleanser getting rid of any scum or yellow stains or mould then rinse it off. If you have the mobile shower nozzle this makes this task very easy. Squirt it over with disinfectant and leave.

STEP 6: Wipe all glass and mirrors down with glass cleaner. Make sure they are fairly dry first otherwise the cleaner is diluted and doesn’t work as well.

STEP 7: Spray bench-top, sinks and tap-ware with disinfectant cleaner, wipe down and rinse off.

STEP 8: Wipe over and scrub toilet if necessary. Wipe seat dry and give it a flush ready for the next use

STEP 9: Rinse out shower and bath areas of disinfectant.

STEP 10: Make up a disinfectant solution in bucket and give floors a mop over. Then leave the room to dry


This routine needs to be done once a week. It is best to get out your Weekly Routine chart now found in your Organized Woman's Family Planner. Organized Woman's Family Planner. You can use the 7 Day Cleaning Schedule provided to plan your cleaning tasks for the week. I just use my Weekly Planner that displays everything.

Plot in the day you will do your bathroom makeover - it usually takes about 30 minutes (depending on how often the children need you!)

Following these steps will;

• prevent the build up of mould and mildew
• prevent your bath turning yellow with soap scum and dirt
• keep the bathroom free from the germs that easily build up in this room

All in all the result is a beautifully clean bathroom from week to week!

Cleaning Day to Day

• Pick up what was dropped
• Wipe up any splashes / clean what was dirtied
• Replace what was used up

Don't leave for later what can be done right now! Enjoy your clean bathroom...
