Let’s make this chore a little more fun and a lot more effective! Here’s our maids’ guide on how to clean a bathroom properly: 

Gather Your Supplies 

Before going into a cleaning frenzy, let’s gather our supplies. Here’s what you’ll need: 

• All-purpose cleaner 
• Glass cleaner 
• Toilet bowl cleaner 
• Sponges and microfiber cloths 
• A scrub brush 
• Rubber gloves 
• A mop 

Having everything ready to go makes cleaning a breeze, so you can spend less time scrubbing and more time enjoying your fresh space! 

Step 1: Declutter and Organize 

First things first, let’s declutter! Remove any items from countertops, shelves, and the shower. This includes toiletries, towels, and any decor. Not only does this make cleaning easier, but it also gives you a chance to organize. Toss out any expired products and put things back in their designated spots. 

Step 2: Dust and Wipe Down Surfaces 

Now that your bathroom is decluttered, it’s time to dust! Use a microfiber cloth to wipe down light fixtures, shelves, and any other surfaces. For a quick win, don’t forget to dust the baseboards—those often get overlooked! 

Step 3: Clean the Shower and Tub 

Spray your all-purpose cleaner generously in the shower and tub. Let it sit for a few minutes to break down soap scum and grime. While you wait, you can tackle the toilet! 

Step 4: Scrubbing the Toilet 

Put on those rubber gloves and grab your toilet bowl cleaner. Apply it inside the bowl and let it sit. Meanwhile, you can wipe down the outside of the toilet with your all-purpose cleaner. Don’t forget the handle and the base—those spots can harbor germs! 

Step 5: Scrub, Scrub, Scrub! 

Now, it’s time to scrub the shower and tub! Use your scrub brush to tackle any stubborn spots, then rinse with warm water. 

For the toilet, grab your toilet brush and scrub the inside thoroughly, then flush. Give the outside a final wipe down, and voilà—your toilet is sparkling! 

Step 6: Clean the Sink and Countertop 

Next up is the sink and countertop! Spray your all-purpose cleaner and wipe everything down with a microfiber cloth. If you have any hard water stains, a little vinegar can work wonders. Don’t forget to clean the faucet—shine it up for a fresh finish! 

Step 7: Mirrors and Glass 

Time for a little shine! Spray your glass cleaner on the mirrors and any glass surfaces. Wipe with a clean cloth or paper towel for that streak-free shine. With proper glass and window cleaning, you’ll love how bright and open your bathroom feels after. 

Step 8: Floors Last 

Finally, it’s time to clean the floor. Sweep or vacuum to remove any hair, dirt and debris, then mop using a floor cleaner. Make sure to get into those corners where dirt likes to hide!

Step 9: Finishing Touches 

Once everything is clean, you can put your items back in their places. You can hang a fresh towel and maybe a little decor to brighten up the space. A scented candle or air freshener is the perfect finishing touch!
