Do you cringe when someone knocks on your door? Afraid to let them see your bathroom?
It makes so much simpler if you become a minimalist in the bathroom. Less clutter brings you peace and saves you cleaning time
Try to remove extra things from counters and put them away before you clean. Clean Top to Bottom.
- Remove Clutter
- Put things away
- remove cobwebs from walls and ceiling
- Spray your dry microfiber cloth with window cleaner or water to make it damp, and clean and shine mirrors
- Clean bathtub
- Clean sink
- Spray and wipe counters
MICROFIBER CLOTHS

Not all cloths are equal. Microfiber traps 95% of bacteria with only water. There are many sources. Some are too thin so I use them for dusting. The too thick ones I save for washing the car.
They work best when slightly damp. They are washable but please do not use fabric softener or bleach.
Now time to tackle your toilet.
Clean a Toilet

I clean a heavily used office and find this procedure best for fighting odors around the toilets
Note: Don’t forget to spray your cleaning solution on:
- cabinets
- baseboards
- walls
- spray and wipe all vertical surfaces and baseboards near the toilet ( anywhere there may be splash back)
- Allow 10 minutes “dwell time” for solution to work
- Solution will drip down into crevices – hinges
- Use old toothbrush in crevices if necessary
- Then wipe surfaces with Microfiber cloths or Paper Towels
Cleaning Products

No bleach in this, it is coconut oil based. Good for :

- mirrors
- counters

I add H2 Orange2, a hydrogen peroxide cleaner to my bottle to destroy bacteria etc..
SIMPLE GREEN

Simple Green can clean everything. It can be considered a nuetral cleaner, therefore less streaks. It is concentrated so adjust the dilution for everything from glass to car engines.
You can find it at grocery stores or Walmart
KABOOM

Kaboom will remove soap scum and lime from your shower and bath tub.
Spray on, spread around with sponge, allow to set for 1 to 3 minutes, rinse thoroughly.
find it at grocery stores or Walmart
Always follow directions on bottle – do not use on marble
LIME AWAY

Lime Away works very well and fast to remove rust and lime build up – but you have to rinse it well and do not allow it to remain on your surface very long – it is aggressive.
- Follow directions on the bottle
- Do not use on chrome if your faucet is old
- Do not use on marble
SCRUBBING BUBBLES


The Original
This is good for light clean up in showers. Citrus based. I spray on shower walls after my shower, keeps it clean. Avoid leaving on chrome fixtures, Kills many things on shower floor.

Always follow directions on the can – do not use on marble
Mega Shower Foamer – Another Scrubbing Bubbles product – Good for quick powerful cleanup of scum on shower walls and floors. Wide spray, works fast!

QUATERNARY CLEANERS

Quaternary cleaners are used in doctor’s offices and hospitals to kill bacteria and viruses.
Find it at Home Depot or janitorial supply stores
Good for floors and toilets.
ENZYME CLEANERS

Enzyme cleaners can work on urine and bacteria to eliminate that odor. You can buy this at pet stores or janitorial supply stores.
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE CLEANERS

H2Orange2 is a hydrogen based cleaner. They use hydrogen peroxide in doctors offices for spot cleaning. This is very safe and does not have to be locked away. Peroxide kills bacteria without eliminating good bacteria.
Or choose this Clorox product. Hydrogen Peroxide cleaners will kill the bad bugs but not the good ones, so it’s good for our environment and your health.
RENUZIT FOR ODORS

Sometimes I have to add a little Renuzit spray. 10 minute dwell time required.
If you still have an odor problem
- try an enzyme cleaner
- or try spraying the area with a steam cleaner
- try a disinfectant cleaner
Or you can use a dilution of Mr Clean All Purpose and Hydrogen Peroxide
