How To Cleanup Your Bathroom In 15 Minutes: Your Guide to Housekeeping In-Between Maid Services.

- Bathroom

Bathrooms need to be cleaned often. And unlike other rooms in your home, they cannot be just “picked up” and still be considered clean. This 15-minute bathroom cleanup allows you to maintain the cleanliness of the bathroom without spending hours scrubbing and disinfecting.

Here's How:

What You Need:
A basket, bag, or box to put clutter items.
Broom and mop
A hamper
A trash container
Disinfectant wipes
Glass Cleaner and rag
Toilet brush
Toilet Cleaner

Grab your supplies. Having the supplies for cleaning the bathroom all together at the beginning of the job is essential to avoiding distractions. If you have to run downstairs to grab the broom, you might decide to check the mail while you're at it. After you get the mail, you decide to file some of it. A letter reminds you to call a family member..... Before you know it the bathroom is the last thing on your mind!

Grab all dirty clothing and put it in a hamper.

Don't worry about anything except the dirty clothes. Don't interrupt your clothes-gathering mission by throwing away trash or putting away bottles of shampoo. Only worry about the dirty clothing. Don't bother trying to turn socks right-side out or to unfold pant legs. Just throw it all in the hamper.

Grab all trash and put in the trash can.
Again, focus only on the trash.

Take a disinfectant wipe and wipe down the sink and tub.
Our goal here is to get the sink and tub presentable. You may need to spend more time on the sink. Wear disposable gloves to protect your skin.

Using a disinfectant wipe, wipe down the outside of the toilet.
Using the wipe, it won't take long to briefly run over the outer surface of the toilet. Quickly wipe away the most obvious dirt.

Using glass cleaner or vinegar, wipe down the mirror.
I like to put a little time into this task even when I'm in a hurry. Guests will probably spend the most time examining themselves in your mirror. They will inevitably notice dinginess and streaks.

Pickup all the items belonging in another room.
Put them in a basket, box, or bag.

Return items that belong in the bathroom to their proper places.
Don't take time to reorganize the medicine or linen cabinets. Just place the items back where they belong. Leave organizing for when you have more time.

Sweep or mop.
Briefly sweep the floor. Worry about the main traffic area. If you have a Swiffer, Readymop, or something similar, it can take just a few seconds to mop.

Put away your supplies.
Don't forget to take a few seconds to marvel at your efficiency!
