Daily Cleaning
Weekly Cleaning
To make the best use of your time, start at the top of the room and work your way down. Save the bathroom floor for last so you can capture any drips or messes you make while cleaning.
Monthly Cleaning
Depending on how much use your bathroom gets, these tasks should be done monthly or seasonally. Take a bit of time to check these items and do a bit of deep cleaning. If you live in an area with hard water, tackle stains weekly for the easiest removal. Finish by scrubbing the interior of the bowl—don’t forget to clean under the rim—and then flush. Take time to remove hair from drains and address any clogs before they become worse. If you have a shower curtain, use a damp cloth to wipe down the shower rod and curtain rings to remove dust and soap scum residue. Rinse well with plain water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Pour one cup of baking soda and 1/2 cup of distilled white vinegar down the drain to help keep water running cleanly. If the vent cannot be removed, use the upholstery brush attachment of your vacuum or a microfiber duster to remove dust. Check light fixtures for dust, dead insects, and burned out bulbs. Clean as needed. This is a good time to sort towels and other linens and make a list of what needs to be replaced. Check each area (use a flashlight, if needed) for any mold and mildew growth and eradicate it immediately.
