5 Tips for Cleaning Your Bathroom
Proper Preparation – A good practice before cleaning is ensuring you have the appropriate protective gear, cleaning products, and equipment. For starters, you will need appropriate cleaning gloves, the right cleaning products for each element (i.e., The tub, shower, toilet, vanity, etc.), a mop with a bucket, and a few antimicrobial microfiber cleaning towels. We always recommend using eco-friendly cleaning products, microfiber mops, and antimicrobial microfiber cleaning towels. Ensure the equipment (mop, towels, etc.) you use to clean the bathroom is only used in that area. Hence, you would have a different set of cleaning equipment for the other spaces in the building. We believe this will help with bacterial cross-contamination that could potentially cause health problems.
Deal with the Tub/Shower first! – Since the tub or the shower is usually the most significant area to be cleaned other than your floor, start there first. Get a spray bottle with the appropriate cleaning solution to deal with the show/ tub walls (a good tip is to spray the wall and shower/tub floor surface at least 10 minutes before you clean). It’s time to roll your sleeves up and dig in, turn the water on, and wash away all the mess with a brush!
Clean the toilet properly – Your toilet is potentially the most bacteria-infested place in your house or commercial space. Find a suitable toilet cleaning solvent and brush the inner areas of the toilet. On the outer parts, spray and apply the necessary solvent and damp wipe the bowl, tank, and seat areas. Be sure to flush the toilet before you start cleaning; this is to ensure you’re not applying toilet solvents to contaminated water.
Wipe, mop, and organize – Now that you have the shower/tub and the toilet out of the way, it’s time to focus on the vanity, mirrors, floor, and other surfaces. Proceed with giving these areas a standard clean, but we recommend dealing with the floors last. This will prevent you from creating “mud” within the space you just mopped.
Maintain your cleaning equipment- The final step is the most important. Bathrooms have a severe amount of germs and bacteria for apparent reasons. Your cleaning equipment is as effective as how it is maintained; hence, one of the reasons we recommend having dedicated cleaning equipment for restrooms is to Thoroughly clean mops, towels, and other cleaning equipment after every cleaning session, but dry the cleaning gear properly before you stow them.
