Put things away

The first step in keeping your home routinely clean is to cut down on the clutter. This means to rigorously keep the toothbrushes, cleanser bottles, floss kits in the drawer or vanity cupboard. However, shoving items into closed compartments is not considered placing the items properly in their “home”.  

This step is essentially important because bathroom is small thus having too many items does not only look messy, it is also harder to clean. Hence try to strive for a near-empty surface so that you can easily wipe and scrub without much hassle to re-arrange items.

 

Also grime tends to build up easily in moist conditions. It is more visible at the bottom of the bottles or the portion of the utensils that come in contact with the bathroom surfaces. Hence putting them away totally eliminates the stains building up from it.  

Surface Cleaning

Your goal is just to WIPE all the high-traffic surfaces. Pour some detergent and toilet bowl cleaner at the floor, countertop, sinks and toilet bowl. Allow sometime for it to sit in and loosen up the dirt before you splash water, wipe and run your toilet brush. 

Yes, it will be a busy time but you will be able to make it.  

Get everything in order

Think about this task as housekeeping. Pull your shower curtain closed so it can air out. Hang the wet towel on the awnings. Refill the body wash gel or shampoo bottles that live in your bathroom.

Clean the mirror  

Ok, time is running out! But there is no excuse for not cleaning mirrors. It’s the check point to ensure our hair does not stick out awkwardly every morning. Use a piece of wet newspaper to wipe out the toothpaste spittle. Subsequently, use a dry one to buff it. Do this whenever water spots appear and you will be done in a jiffy.

Last min to go!- Final touch  

Panic pangs! Now, take a deep breath. You are almost there. At this last minute, scan through your bathroom like you are a hotel manager. See what needs further attention or scrub. Perhaps you have children who make things a little messier or you just did not move at thunderbolt speed like I do. Treasure the last 60 seconds to straighten it and finish up.
