20-Minute Rapid Bathroom Cleaning Routine

A clean bathroom will make you feel good about yourself and it will save you the embarrassment should you get an impromptu guest when they request to visit your bathroom. We have devised a 20-minute bathroom cleaning routine that you can apply on a daily basis and ensure that you have a clean bathroom every day.

Here is a breakdown of how you can utilize 20 minutes to get your bathroom gleaming clean. It might start feeling like a chore, but with time, sticking to the routine will be second nature.

Things you will need

• Rubber gloves

• Cleaning bubbles/liquid detergents

• Scrubbing brush

• Wipes/washcloth

• Mop

• Sponge

• Liquid soap, bleach, and vinegar mixture

Cover the porcelain areas with liquid detergents

You can get toilet-cleaning liquid from your nearest store, and they usually come with special bottles with nozzles that make it easy to spray the areas under the toilet rim. Pour the liquid into the tub and the bathroom sink. Leave the toilet for ten to fifteen minutes for the cleaning liquid to work its magic. This process removes tough stains in minutes.

Shower walls

These are the most neglected parts of the bathroom cleaning routine only attended to when there is too much buildup of glim, and sometimes mold. While the porcelain surfaces soak in the soap, use the scrubbing brush, to wash and scrub the shower cubicle walls. Rinse and begin cleaning the shower floor. Remove the debris caught by the shower drain strain and pour the mixture of bleach, detergent, and vinegar down the drain to remove any odor. This will take anywhere between 5 to 7 minutes of the 20-minute bathroom cleaning routine.

Mirrors and counter tops

Mirrors are easy to clean, and most people overlook them. Use a sponge and soap to clean off any spots on the mirrors. Use your washcloth to wipe the cabinet fronts and use a scrubber to remove the stains from the bathroom sink. With time, a sponge will be enough to clean your countertop and sink since the stains will not have stuck to the porcelain. Pour the disinfectant mixture to expunge any foul smells that might arise from the drain.

Tub and toilet

By now, you have taken up ten minutes of the 20-minute bathroom cleaning routine, and you can use the remaining time to clean the tub and toilet. You will need the rubber gloves when cleaning the toilet to be safe from germs and water splashes. By now, the liquid soap will have already loosed the tough stains, and the scrubbing brush will do the remaining work of removing the stains.

Empty the trash and mop the floor

The last thing is to take away the trash, disinfect the trashcan, and mop the floor as the last thing of the 20-minute bathroom cleaning routine. This item on your routine you can do after every other day and your bathroom will remain spick and span.

Create a bathroom cleaning schedule

The reality of the present age is that time is so constrained, and everything needs to be kept on a schedule. You might also not have the pleasure of finding 20 minutes together, and you can break it up into two 10-minute items on your daily schedule, and ensure you know what you are to clean every day. Here is a sample bathroom-cleaning schedule

• Monday – Clean the toilet and the shower walls

• Tuesday – Clean the mirror and the cabinet fronts

• Wednesday – Clean the bathtub and the toilet

• Thursday – Clean the sink and the toilet

• Friday – Clean the toilet and empty the trashcan and mop the floor

• Saturday – Clean the toilet, sink, bathtub, and change the towels

• Sunday – Clean the toilet

Conclusion

The toilet needs to be cleaned on a daily basis, and it is important that you have stocked enough cleaning supplies and arranged them in an orderly fashion to ensure that you stick to the 20-minute bathroom cleaning routine.
