TUESDAY CLEANING TIP of the day! What is one area of your home that you may procrastinate on❓Comment below ⬇️
Here are 10 tips we use when cleaning out your restrooms!
1. Remove all items from their usual bathroom place, instead of as you go. Remove all of your products from the shower and/or bathtub. All used towels & rugs out of the room. Any items from the counters you may move them outside the bathroom, as well. Don’t forget to empty out your trash cans !
2. Dust & sweep. Grab your duster with a long handle to remove any cobwebs in corners, on light fixtures or in vents. If you still can’t reach the cobwebs, pull in a stepladder to get up high. Once done, sweep (we vacuum) the floors to pick up hair & other debris that may have accumulated on the floors.
3. Apply cleaner to shower &/or bathtub.
Apply an all-purpose cleaner if you clean regularly or an acid-based cleaner if you have SERIOUS buildup to your shower. Don’t forget the shower track & inside the shower door if applicable. Let it soak (minimum of 10minites).
4. While product is soaking, let’s tackle other surfaces!
-Spray an all-purpose cleaner on to your cleaning device (EX: microfiber cloth, sponge, etc.) & wipe down any towel racks, shelves, baseboards, doors, blinds and windowsills. *tip: Work in sections from the top of the room to the bottom baseboards, and left to right. (What is up must come down, say goodbye to dust!)
5. Mix cleaning solution for floor.
Fill a bucket with warm water and the recommended amount of all-purpose cleaner. (Or some good o’ vinegar w a tad bit of baking soda)
6. Now use some elbow grease and scrub the shower and bathtub.!Allowing the cleaner to soak, will have allowed said cleaner to do much of the work for you! scrub away loose dirt & buildup. Get all walls, floors and other surfaces clean before rinsing. *tip: your shower head is detachable=easy rinse! (By request we may leave a few corners & areas sprayed with a tad-bit of Clorox)
7. Finish the shower and bathtub.
Move in all items you removed, wiping them if necessary as you go, then close the shower curtain or door. *tip: If you do have a shower door, spray glass cleaner to give it a streak-free finish.
8. Clean the vanity area.
Spray the all-purpose cleaner on the sink, faucets & countertops, then wipe with a clean cloth. If you have buildup in the sink or in a soap dish, use a scrubby sponge to loosen before wiping clean. Use the glass cleaner on your mirror. OUR must do tip is a cloth with hot water will remove dust from cabinet faces and even your mirror !
9. Clean the toilet.
If you scrub inside your toilet regularly, the all-purpose cleaner should get the job done.
Spray or sprinkle a toilet-specific cleaner if buildup exists, then scrub with a toilet brush before flushing. Spray the outside of the toilet with the all-purpose cleaner, then wipe with a clean cloth.
10. Mop the floor.
Submerge your mop into the bucket of cleaning solution, squeeze out excess water, then clean the bathroom floor.
Once dry, replace your freshly laundered rugs and towels.

Tips:
-Hand-held vacuum for daily pickup of hair and other debris on the floor.
-Install a hair-catcher in your drain to avoid buildup. When water doesn’t drain as it should, it leaves behind an ugly ring around the shower or bathtub.
-Squeegee shower walls after use to keep water marks at away.
-Keep smaller items in bins and baskets to avoid clutter creep.
