One of the worst chores you can get stuck with? Cleaning the bathroom. The disgusting little tidbits you’re bound to find down your drain or in your tub are enough to make you steer clear of bathroom duty. But, like anything else, the bathroom has to be cleaned. We would argue (because so much unpleasantness can happen in there) that the bathroom even needs a little more TLC than other parts of your home.

If you’re like most of us and dread this odious task, we have some great tips for you! These 7 cleaning tips are quick, easy, and are going to make your least favorite chore an absolute breeze.

Check out the video below to learn these 7 great bathroom cleaning hacks.

1. CLEAN THE MIRROR

The bathroom mirror gets SO GROSS. Covered in dust, makeup, and toothpaste, when I let mine get too far gone, I can hardly see my face. Spraying cleaning products or water on paper towels tends to leave a streaky, blotchy shine. So try this technique instead.

Brew some REALLY strong tea – like 3 bags of black tea and nothing else. Pour the tea into a spray bottle and use this to clean your mirror spotless! Instead of paper towel, try newspaper to get fewer streaks.

2. CLEAN SHOWER SCUM

No one likes to shower staring at soap scum. Yuck. Scrub that nastiness away by filling a dish wand with half vinegar and half dish soap. This will bust through shower grime and leave your tub sparkling in no time.

3. REMOVE HARD WATER STAINS

Those unsightly stains on your metal hardware, like faucets? You know them. They’re impossible to get rid of. Try scrubbing down the metal with…a lemon. Yep, just a lemon. This all-natural trick will make your bathroom smell great and the acid in the citrus will break down any hard water stains.

Not a fan of lemon? Try wrapping the metal in rags soaked with distilled white vinegar. The stains will break down in a similar way and you won’t get lemon juice in your eye.

Use a cleaning toothbrush to get in those hard to reach places, too!

4. CLEAN TOOTHBRUSH HOLDERS

This one is just too simple. When your toothbrush holder is getting clogged up with soap scum and unnecessary grime, don’t struggle to clean it. Just toss it in the dishwasher and let technology do the work for you.

5. CLEAN YOUR TOILET

Your toilets’ best friend? White vinegar. This all-natural cleaning solution kills germs, bacteria, mold, and makes scum vanish for a sparkling clean. Plus, you can use it all over.

Pour vinegar in the top of your toilet and let that sit while you spray vinegar around the seat and clean.

Soak a paper towel with vinegar and stuff that under the rim of your toilet. Let that sit while you scrub your bowl with vinegar and your toilet brush. Remove the toilet paper, scrub under the rim with a cleaning toothbrush, and then flush for an all-over clean.

6. CLEAN YOUR TOILET BRUSH

Speaking of your toilet brush, that guy has a whole lot of germs on him. You can guess why.

To prevent smells (and from scrubbing your toilet germs away with something just as germ-infested), pour a little all-purpose cleaner in the bottom of the brush holder for a constant clean and lovely smell.

7. CLEAN YOUR DRYER LINT

Bonus tip! This may not be bathroom-oriented, but while you’re on a cleaning roll, you might as well clean out the dryer, too!

The lint that builds up in dryers causes hundreds of house fires a year, but this disaster is so easily avoidable. To get to the hard-to-reach places, attach an empty paper towel roll to the end of your vacuum hose, stick that down into your dryer, and go to town.

Hot Tip for Cleaning Your Microwave: Removing food-splatter and gunk from the inside.

Place a microwave-safe bowl with 1 cup of water and a chopped up lemon, lime or orange or several tablespoons of vinegar in your appliance. Turn the machine on high for several minutes (or until the solution boils and the window is steamy). Let it cool for 15 minutes before opening the door, then remove the bowl and wipe the inside with a sponge.

10 Tips to Keeping a Clean House

Although they don’t amount to a complete house cleaning, when you get in the habit of following them daily you probably won’t have to clean every week. Don’t feel like you need to be the one to perform them all, either: get kids involved in the habit of doing a little for the house every day and they’ll grow to adults who know how to keep a clean home, too.

1. Make your bed.

As the most visible surface in most bedrooms, an unmade bed can make the whole room look messy. If tucking in sheets isn’t your thing, switch to a duvet with a removable cover that you can launder each week — you have to pull it up and, boom, your bed’s tidy. Need more convincing? Find out how making your bed daily can change your life.

2. Empty the dishwasher each morning.

If you’ve ever timed yourself doing this, then you know emptying even a packed dishwasher only takes about 5 minutes. Do it while the coffee brews or while you wait for the kids to get ready for school. An empty dishwasher keeps dirty dishes from piling up in the sink, making your kitchen look like a mess.

3. Clean up after each meal or snack.

Dirty countertops make your entire kitchen look awful. Since you already emptied your dishwasher, load dishes after each meal or snack and then wipe down your counters with a homemade all-purpose cleaner.

4. Do a load of laundry daily.

You don’t have to spend your entire weekend catching up on laundry if you do one load every day. Can’t decide what to wash? Use a laundry sorting hamper and grab the one that has the most clothes. Start a load before heading to work or taking the kids to school and transfer it to the dryer when you get home.

5. Wipe your sinks and faucets.

Toothpaste splatters and hairs in the bathroom sink look nasty. Grab a homemade disinfecting wipe and spend a minute spiffing up the sinks and faucets after you get ready for the day. Teach your kids to do this in their bathroom, too.

6. Sort and recycle paper ASAP.

Keep papers from piling up on the kitchen island and dining table by dealing with the mail when you walk in the door. Run junk mail through the shredder, then put bills and letters in a mail sorter or inbox to deal with on bill-paying day.

7. Use floor mats.

Even if you can’t train your family not to wear shoes in the house (which really reduces household dust), you can keep most of the dirt out by placing floor mats both inside and outside of each exterior door. Vacuum or shake them outside every few days.

8. Tidy the countertops before bed.

Before you head to bed, give the kitchen a quick glance and put away any clutter. In the bathroom, put away your toiletries and jewelry. The same goes for your dining table — don’t let it turn into a catch-all.

9. Get picky with your carpet.

We should vacuum high-traffic areas at least every other day, but not everyone has the time or energy for that. Make a point to pick up small messes (cat hair, scraps of paper, etc.) between regular vacuuming, and it will look nicer all week. Bending over to do it counts as exercise!

10. Run a kitchen sweeper nightly.

Brooms and dustpans are a hassle and, thanks to their cords, vacuums aren’t much better. Use a multi-surface sweeper each night to go over the kitchen floor. It’s easy enough to use that your kids can do it as part of their evening routine.

Performing these tips to keeping a clean house takes only a few minutes a day, but they’ll keep your home looking continually clean no matter how busy life gets.
