How to clean your bathroom when you are in a hurry.

Being a single mom, I've learned to do things quick and in a hurry. My grandmother use to say that the main way for you to tell if a person is a good housekeeper is to view their bathroom. Here's how to make sure your bathroom is spotless all the time.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A cloth or paper towel.
• A commode brush.
• A foam cleaner.
• A small broom and mop.
• Just a little time.

1. If you are the type of person who prefers to take a bath, cleaning your tub should be a daily activity. As you are relaxing in your tub, soap scum forms around the sides. A few minutes before you get out, take your handy cleaning towel and begin wiping the sides of your tub. You will find that it is much easier to remove fresh, wet soap build up then to postpone cleaning and allow it to dry. Once you get out of the tub, spray a foam cleaner, wipe, and watch your tub dazzle.

2. People who prefer the shower are in for an easier clean up. In most cases, there's no soap build up. Once you have finished your shower, simply spray your foam cleaner and wipe. This will only take a minute.

3. There are many opportunities for you to clean the commode. Keep a commode brush and a cleaning towel handy. All it takes is a couple of swishes and a few wipes of the towel and you're done.

4. Your sink is another one of those incredibly easy and quick clean ups. After washing your face or brushing your teeth, spray your foam over your basin and fixtures. A few quick wipes and once again, you are done.

5. Whether large or small, your bathroom floor can be just as easy. Keep a small broom or mop in a closet near by. You can find them for a dollar at Family Dollar or Dollar General. For an even quicker touch up, and a little exercise on the side, spray, bend over, or stoop, and wipe.

Tips & Warnings

• The commode, floor, and sink do not have to be done on the same day. Alternate days or do as needed. You will find that your bathroom will have that clean, enjoyable, sparkle everyday.
• To some, I know this article may sound like a "no-brainer" but believe me, there are many single parents out there who feel as if they just don't have the time to clean properly. They neglect some cleaning procedures until they have a real problem. They do not realize that huge problems could have been avoided by alloting a couple of minutes of your usual bathroom time for easy clean ups.

on 11/29/2008 I love to soak in my bathtub, showers feel good in the summer but I like to soak my old bones and read a book and yes I wipe the sides down before I get out. Your other good hints I need to try. I gave you 5 stars, should have been ten!

on 10/2/2008 Yes, using the foam is so much easier. You spray, and let sit. Great article.
