🚿 Step-by-Step Bathroom Cleaning Checklist
1. Declutter First
Remove everything from counters, shelves, and the shower/tub. Toss out empty bottles and old razors, and set aside rugs and towels for washing.
2. Dust and Sweep
Dust light fixtures, vents, and baseboards. Then sweep or vacuum the floor to get rid of hair and debris.
3. Clean the Shower and Tub
Spray your tub and shower walls with a bathroom cleaner or a vinegar-water mix. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes before scrubbing with a stiff brush. Rinse thoroughly.
💡 Tip: For tough soap scum or mildew, make a paste with baking soda and water and scrub it in with a sponge.
4. Tackle the Toilet
Apply toilet cleaner inside the bowl and let it sit while you wipe down the tank, seat, and base with disinfectant. Use the toilet brush to scrub the inside, especially under the rim.
5. Wipe Down Surfaces
Spray and wipe down the sink, faucet, countertops, and cabinet doors. Don’t forget to disinfect high-touch areas like light switches and door handles.
6. Shine the Mirrors
Use a streak-free glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth for a spotless mirror.
7. Clean the Floor
Mop the floor with a disinfecting solution. Make sure to get into the corners and around the toilet base.
8. Final Touches
Replace clean towels, refill soap dispensers, and take out the trash. Light a candle or use a bathroom spray for a fresh scent.
