Cleaning the bathroom is the most difficult part of the house cleaning process. You must commit a lot of time and a lot of energy to do it properly. The following tips can help you do it faster and better.

Here are a couple of tips to make your life easier

Do it often enough
You must clean your bathroom as often as possible. Once a month is probably enough. It is a very big difference between doing it once a month or once every two month. In the second case you will work probably three times more (because you will have to face issues like mildew or heavy hard water stains), you will need more expensive chemicals and you will have to try much much harder to remove some stubborn stains.

Be prepared
A number of products are needed to get the job done. Plan ahead so that when you start cleaning everything is there. Various chemical products are needed and you must have them ready before you start. Don’t expect to use the same product to clean everything. Some product is needed to clean the mirror, a different one is needed to clean the sink and the counter top. The toiled require totally different products and they cannot be used anywhere else. A simple inspection could reveal mold or mildew, then another product is needed for that as well.

Various brushes and cloth products are needed as well. Again, you need a couple of them, as one size does not fit all. For the mirror, e-cloth or crumbled newspaper sheets are needed, for the toilet you need a long handle brush (disposable or not), for the tiling you need a totally different thing.

Assemble a list, purchase all the needed materials and make sure they are handy when you start. This will dramatically increase your overall efficiency.

Plan the process
Now that you have all the materials, you must plan the procedure in advance. The reason is simple: the surfaces in the bathroom must be cleaned in a certain order, otherwise cleaning some surfaces will spoil your work already done on others. For example you must clean the mirror before you start cleaning the sink and the counter top, otherwise drops formed while you clean the mirror will fall on the already cleaned sink and / or counter top.

Protect yourself
Most of the chemical you use require protective equipment. Make sure you wear gloves on a regular basis, even for the materials that do not specifically require this, and you will avoid unpleasant situations. Also, protective glasses might be a good thing to use. Nobody expects to expose the eyes to chemicals, but you have to plan for the unexpected.

After you finished the work, make sure you lock the chemicals in the adequate place, if you have small children or pets, as most of them are toxic.

At the end you will have again a spotless bathroom!
