We all know that the bathroom has a reputation for being the worst room in the house to clean. But, it doesn’t have to be that way. Here are some simple things you can do every day to stop bacteria, mold, and mildew in their tracks.
- Use daily no wipe shower cleaner to prevent soap-scum buildup. Squeegee doors and walls after each shower to discourage mold. Use exhaust fan or open a window while showering to vent the moist air.
- Keep sanitizing wipes on hand for cleaning on the fly.
- Hang towels so they will dry as quickly as possible.
- Wipe sink, faucets, and countertop after the final use every morning.
- Use a flush-release cleaning product in the toilet bowl. Or brush the bowl daily to keep it clean.
- Pour all-purpose cleaner in the toilet brush holder to keep it fresh and ready to use.
- Once a week, give your bathroom a more thorough top to bottom cleaning. Use a diluted solution of all purpose cleaner or a commercial bathroom cleaner to clean sinks, counters, and shower stalls.
- Use separate sponges or cleaning cloths for cleaning the toilet area, which is likely to have the highest concentration of germs.
- Avoid storing toothbrushes near the toilet. With every flush, particles of water can spray and land up to 20 feet away. Always close the toilet lid before flushing.
