Another One Bites the Dust: Game-Changing Tips for a Clean Bathroom

October 13, 2021

It’s important both for aesthetics and for purposes of sanitation that you clean your bathroom on a regular basis.

Bathroom cleaning isn’t typically a favorite chore, but thankfully there are some steps you can take to make the process much smoother and more efficient. But what are these bathroom cleaning hacks, and how can you put them into practice to achieve the best results?

Here are some bathroom cleaning tricks and tips to help you through your next cleaning session.

Keep your supplies organized

Make sure you have everything you need right where you need it so you don’t have to spend time hunting down cleaning supplies when it’s time to clean the bathroom.

The best method of doing this is to have a designated location in each bathroom where you store a kit with all the cleaning supplies you need for that room. This could be inside a vanity, in a pull-out bin or in a basket on a shelf. That way you’ll always have all your cleaning items right within reach.

Pare down your supplies

You probably don’t need as many cleaning supplies as you think you do. You can stick to the basics: some microfiber cloths, a polishing cloth, a spray bottle with water, a spray bottle with an all-purpose cleaner, a toilet bowl cleaner, a toilet brush and sponges.

If you’re planning a particularly deep clean, you might add some extra items, but that’s really all you need to get the job done.

Perform small cleaning tasks frequently

Here’s a bathroom cleaning trick that’s sure to please if you feel like you never have enough time to clean: you can avoid having to perform frequent deep cleanings on your bathroom by cleaning “as you go,” so to speak.

Get into the habit of occasionally cleaning certain parts of your bathroom, and you’ll find it a lot easier to keep the room as a whole looking tidy. For example, if you notice marks or splashes on the mirror or sink, wipe them down. If your toilet bowl looks like it needs a brushing, clean it and move on.

These individual tasks might take just a couple minutes, but they will make a big difference if you keep up with them regularly over time.

Prioritize cleaning when purchasing new items

Whenever you purchase a new fixture or item for your bathroom, you should make sure they’re easy to clean. This will ensure you do not have to expend as much effort on cleaning them.

Quartz, for example, is a favorite for bathrooms because it is resistant to stains, water, cuts, scratches and heat. Smooth porcelain and high-quality vinyl flooring are great for floor maintenance. Certain types of faucets are easier to clean than others.

Consider implementing new tech

Some modern types of bathroom features and fixtures make it easier to keep the bathroom clean. Touchless tech, for example, allows for turning on faucets or flushing a toilet just by waving a hand. Hands-free operation makes for more hygienic usage and gives you less to clean.
