Day 2: Something I am Good At

Cleaning your bathroom, in 15 steps

When I saw that today's topic was something I was good at two things came to mind: cooking and cleaning. Talk about 1950s housewife. I kind of felt bad about myself for a minute, then I remembered that it is that time in my life. If you asked me this same question when I was 16, I would probably say waltz jumps (figure skating move) or booty dancing. But not today folks, it is all about cleaning and cooking great meals in this house.
Ever since I can remember, cleaning was a Saturday routine. My grandmother kept a clean house, and still does.  I don't just mean clean, like it looks nice, I mean clean like the walls are scrubbed, cabinets washed, faucets polished, and floors scrubbed by hand. Guess who got the cleaning bug gene? This girl. Although, I am not on "crazy" level like Meme. I just don't have the time. So, today, I am going to tell you how to efficiently clean your bathrooms so that it doesn't take lots of time, but you get everything SUPER clean.

You will need:
Scrubbing Bubbles Bathroom Cleaner
Toilet Cleaner
Windex
A Dobie sponge (or another abrasive sponge)
Two dry towels
Two wet towels
Broom
(The reason for two is because you don't want to touch anything that has touched the toilet to other areas of the bathroom. Yuck.)

Directions:
1. Go into bathroom. :)
2. Line toilet bowl with cleaner, shut lid.
3. Sweep floor. 
4. Spray Windex on mirror. Wipe with dry towel.
5. Spray Scrubbing Bubbles (SB) on counter. Wipe with wet cloth. Make sure to get faucet.
6. Polish faucet with dry cloth.
7. Wipe cabinets down with wet cloth, then go over with dry cloth.
8. Wipe all surfaces of towel rack and TP holder down the same way as the other, no SB needed.
9. Spray SB on all surface area of toilet. Epecially the handle and the underside of the seat. Let soak.
10. Move on to the shower. Spray SB all over. This is where the Dobie comes into play. Scrub, scrub, scrub. Especailly scrub the bottom of the tub. Feet can be dirty things and bacteria can settle in the little grooves of the fiberglass. Rinse shower with a few cup-fulls of water.
11. Polish faucet and shower head with dry towel 'til sparkling.
12. Next, wash the toilet wash the outside first with the other wet cloth.
13. Wipe the inside with sponge. Dry with other dry towel. (The sponge can no longer be used. Needs to be disinfected before the next cleaning day.)
14. Now, it is time for your floors. You can simply use water, or hot water mixed with a few splashes of bleach. Use the first wet towel, the one you used to wipe the counter, not the toilet, to scrub the floors. Make sure to do EXTRA scrubbing around toilet. Get those germies.
15. Then, use the first dry towel to dry the floors. This will ensure that they won't dry streaky.

Voila! Beautiful bathroom.

Take a hot shower and enjoy the cleanliness.
And remember when bathrooms are clean, all is right in the world. Or is it just me that feels this way?

  1. I consider myself a good bathroom-cleaner, but *confession* I don't clean the shower every Saturday BECAUSE I HATE IT. It's my least favorite chore in the whole stinking house. I'm going to try yours step by step, starting Saturday!
