Gather your bathroom cleaning supplies

What makes this cleaning routine so effective is that I keep cleaning supplies in my bathroom, ready to use. Under your bathroom sink or inside your linen closet, keep the following:

• Disinfectant wipes
• Toilet brush
• Scrub-free shower and tub cleaner (I like it Scraping Bubbles Mega Bath Foam)
• A Sponge
• Glass cleaner
• Paper towels
• Mop with disposable cleaning pads (such as Swiffer)
• Rubber gloves (optional)

How to clean your bathroom quickly

Now that everything is ready to go, you just need to do some cleaning tasks in addition to all the other things you do in the morning.

• Spray and soak: Once you’re in the bathroom, spray the bathtub or shower all over with the cleaner. Let it soak while you move on to the next step.
• Toilet spray: Spray the inside of the toilet bowl with tub cleaner (yes, it works on toilets too), then wipe down the outside with disinfectant wipes.
• Wipe and rinse the bathroom: Next, wipe the bathtub and/or shower with the sponge and rinse the surfaces while you wait for the water to heat up for the shower or bath.
• Toilet brush: After you get dressed, pass the toilet brush around the toilet bowl a few times and flush.
• Mirror cleaning: Before you brush your teeth, spray the mirror with cleaner. While brushing your teeth with one hand, wipe the mirror with a paper towel with the other hand.
• Scan the sink and counter: After styling your hair, shaving, or applying makeup, grab a disinfectant wipe and wipe down the sink, faucet, and counter.
• Fast pass on the ground: When you’re about to leave the bathroom, mop the floors once and then toss the cleaning pad.

Now, of course you’ll only need to clean your shower and/or bathtub once a week or so, but other items in your bathroom that need to be cleaned daily can easily be incorporated into your daily routine. You can also follow these steps to quickly clean your bathroom before the company comes over.
