How To Clean Your Bathroom

Weekly is best. It’s important to clean your bathroom regularly, which means getting out the rubber gloves at least once a week. It’s also a good idea to schedule in a monthly deep-clean to target any areas that are missed in your weekly routine or need a little extra attention.

NOTE: To speed up your weekly clean, get into the habit of wiping any spills or water marks as they occur. Find out how to get rid of watermarks.

Cleaning your bath or shower is usually the trickiest and most time-consuming job, so it’s a good idea to get it out of the way first. Baths and showers require weekly cleaning to prevent the build-up or unhygienic scum or soap residue.

Wipe down your bath with a purpose-made bathroom cleaner and soft cloth. If you live in a hard-water area, you might need to use a limescale-combating bathroom cleaner too. 

Cleaning your toilet doesn’t need to be unpleasant, especially if you keep on top of it, giving it a clean at least once a week. Pre-treat it with a purpose-made toilet cleaner: place the cleaner in the bowl and leave for a few minutes while you get on with the rest of your routine. When you’re ready, scrub the bowl with a clean toilet brush and wipe the seat, lid and outside with an anti-bacterial cleaning product. Don’t forget to wipe down the flush, too.

Over the course of a week, your bathroom sink can quickly become grimy with soap scum, toothpaste build-up, and bacteria. To make cleaning your bathroom sink a quick and simple process, spray on a bathroom cleaner and leave it for a few minutes. Once the cleaner has broken down tougher stains, you should be able to wipe your sink clean with minimal effort.

To keep taps shiny, polish with a microfibre cloth and glass cleaner. Be sure to check that your chosen cleaning product suits your taps first, as some bathroom cleaners can damage certain metals.

Toothpaste splatters on the mirror can quickly make your entire bathroom look dirty, so keep it sparkling with regular cleaning. The best way to clean your bathroom mirror is with the tried and tested solution of white vinegar and water, and a soft microfibre towel.

When it comes to your bathroom cleaning routine, your floors should always be the last thing you do. To quickly clean your bathroom floor, use a purpose-made floor cleaner and mop with clean water. For smaller rooms, it may be easier to use a large sponge instead of a mop.

There you have it, a straightforward weekly bathroom cleaning routine, with the odd monthly task for a deeper clean too. For more tips on creating and maintaining the perfect bathroom space, keep exploring the Mira Showers blog.
