TOOLS

1. A good quality vacuum or steam cleaner

To keep your bathroom sparkling clean, you will need a powerful and reliable vacuum or steam cleaner to suck up all of the dirt and grime from your bathroom surfaces. Choose a model that is easy to use and has a long cord so that you can easily move around the room without having to unplug it constantly.



2. A set of high-quality microfiber cloths

In addition to your vacuum or steam cleaner, it’s also important to have high-quality microfiber cloth or damp cloth for cleaning smaller areas like mirrors, windows, and bathroom fixtures. These soft cloths are gentle on surfaces but strong enough to easily remove stubborn stains. Look for ones that are machine washable for easy cleaning.



3. A quality bathroom cleaning spray

To efficiently clean all of the surfaces in your bathroom, it’s important to use a good quality bathroom cleaner and scrubber that can remove tough stains without any harmful chemicals or abrasives. Look for one with natural ingredients like essential oils and tea tree extracts that will leave your bathroom smelling fresh and clean.



4. A durable squeegee

When you’re cleaning your shower, it is essential to have a high-quality squeegee on hand to quickly wipe away moisture after each use. This will prevent mould and mildew from building up in your shower and reduce the amount of time you spend cleaning this part of your bathroom regularly.

5. A step stool

To help you easily reach high areas and get the best results when cleaning your bathroom, it’s a good idea to have a small step stool on hand. This will make it much easier to clean your ceiling and light fixtures without needing to strain or bend over too much. Look for one that is lightweight but durable so that you can use it again and again without worrying about wear and tear.



6. Broom and dustpan

Along with your other cleaning tools, it’s also a good idea to keep a broom and dustpan on hand for sweeping up any dirt and debris that might fall on the floor during regular use. This will help you keep your bathroom looking tidy at all times.



7. Mop

In addition to sweeping, it’s also essential to keep a mop handy so that you can quickly and easily clean up any spills or messes on your bathroom floor. This will help ensure that your bathroom always looks fresh and clean, even if water is spilled on the ground.

1. Wipe down the walls. This includes the walls, the floor, and the doors.

Now that we have covered the daily cleaning tasks, let’s jump into the weekly cleaning tasks. These are more intense cleaning tasks that need to be done once a week. Here is a quick bathroom cleaning checklist so you know what to focus on.



1. Bathroom Trash Bag

The bathroom is one of the worst places for bacteria, so make sure you keep it clean. This can be done by regularly removing the contents of your bathroom trash can.

It’s also worth keeping a separate trash can for sanitary products like tampons and pads, used dental floss and cotton swabs.
