I would say the most used room in any  house is the bathroom. I also  have my daughter  living with me and if she can take a shower 2 times a day she would, and when she does, well let me say this, she thinks she is in a hotel room.  Yes, you know let the maid come in and clean up this mess.  It is a back breaking job keeping up with my tiny little bathroom.  I came across , Total Bathroom Clean Out” article and loved what they had to say…so let me share it with you.

First tackle the Cabinets and Drawer 

 Cleaning the bathroom isn’t just about disinfecting. It’s about organizing and tackling clutter as well. Your cabinets and drawers probably have old bottles, expired medicine and general dust collection, so check out our Total Drawer Clean Out tips for a two-step approach to organization and our Organized Bathroom Ideas for ways to make the bathroom more functional and comfortable. ( I know I have a lot of  gels, mousse, and  sprays, all these hair products,  for what?  We buy them and never finish using them up before we go out and buy a new one.  Always a different  brand of course.  So why do I keep them?  Not sure, but I need to throw them out.)

Second attach the Mirrors: After you’ve sorted out the medicine cabinet and cleaned the inside, close the door and check out the mirrors. Toothpaste splatters, water stains and foggy streaks take the shine out of your reflection. Spray and wipe them away to reveal sparkling surfaces again. (This is a ugly sight, I am always cleaning behind everyone, no one seems to see the splatter, but me)

Third theToilet: Germs beware! Pour a capful of cleaner into the toilet bowl. Using a toilet brush, scrub the inside of the bowl and use a paper towel dampened with hot water and a dash of cleaner to wipe the outside of the bowl, seat, lid and toilet tank. Set a air freshener on the back of the toilet tank for 30 days of freshness. (A necessary dirty job.  I use bleach pour and let it sit and then scrub it down, gloves are needed)

Fourth that Shower: The shower is where dirt, grime and layers of soap scum hang out. Start by removing all the toiletries and accessories out of the shower. Begin scrubbing at the shower head and move your way down to the tub with the Mr. Clean® Magic Eraser® Bath Scrubber, as it helps clean 2X more soap scum per swipe vs. the leading bath spray cleaner and helps eliminate odors. And for more ways to maintain your clean shower, check out our Shower Cleaning Tips. (Love that Mr.Clean magic eraser.  I use it for my shower door and the tiles, gets the dirt right up.  You don’t even have to scrub that hard.)

Fifth the Toilet Sink: The most trafficked spot in the bathroom is bound to be splattered and in need of a good scrubbing. Pull everything off the counter and set aside. Wipe all surfaces, including the faucet, sink bowl and cabinet doors or sink pedestal. Rinse the toothbrush holder and soap dish in the sink with hot water. Rinse thoroughly and replace everything back on the counters.  ( Getting this done is simple, try keeping the sink clutter free)

Sixth Floor: Pull rugs, bathmats and the trashcan out of the bathroom so you can be sure to clean every nook and cranny. Trap and lock loose dirt and hair with a  Swiffer® Sweeper™, and finish with the Swiffer WetJet™. Its solution is designed to penetrate layers of dirt and grime while locking it deep in the WetJet pad. Plus, its scrubby strip breaks apart the tough dried on spots.  (the floor is the finale, once completed you know it is finished.  Now look at that clean bathroom, clean and fresh…I am loving it.)
