Whether you’re a full-time working mom or dad, or a stay-at-home parent, you probably don’t have a lot of time in your day to dedicate to cleaning. You know you need to deep clean your bathrooms regularly, but you don’t want to spend hours doing it, right?
Bathroom Cleaning
At Cleanipedia, we understand efficiency is key when cleaning, especially when you’re cleaning up after several little people too. When you have a lot of things to juggle around, it’s even harder to spend hours on bathroom cleaning. That’s why we’ve put together a bathroom cleaning schedule, that will help you do the most hygienic clean, in the least amount of time possible.
How Often Should a Bathroom be Cleaned?
We recommend following our bathroom cleaning checklist for cleaning a bathroom at least once a week. A tidy up and quick clean can be done every day, of course, but a deep clean with the great products we’ve suggested should be done once a week.
What is the Cleaning Schedule for the Key Areas in The Bathroom?
Follow these steps and bathroom cleaning tips to get the best bathroom clean done in a jiffy.
Step 1 – Clean the Sink, Countertops and Toilet
Using a top-quality bleach like Domestos Thick Bleach, pour it directly into the sink and toilet bowl and leave to soak for 10 – 15 minutes. Rinse off afterwards. Then mix a solution of bleach and warm water and give these areas including all countertops another clean and wipe down. Using Domestos will ensure that you kill any bacteria or germs that might be lurking.

Step 2 – Wipe Down All the Surfaces with Disinfectant Cleaner
Next, it’s time to give a quick wipe down to all other surfaces in the bathroom, like the bath, shower, walls and floors. Be sure to sweep the floor before washing. Use a good cream cleaner like Handy Andy in a solution of warm water for surfaces as a multi-purpose cleaner. You can also use Handy Andy Ultrafast Bathroom Spray for great results.
Step 3 – Empty Out Dustbin and Wipe it Clean
Don’t forget areas like the dustbin and the washing basket too. They can collect dust and germs during the day. Empty the contents out, recycle what you can, and give them a good wipe down with Hand Andy Cream Cleaner too.
Step 4 – Clean Out Your Cabinets, Drawers and Cupboards
This step doesn’t need to be done once a week, but certainly once a month. We can keep and accumulate a lot of old, expired products in the bathroom unknowingly. Go through all the cupboards and drawers, keep what you need and throw out and recycle what you don’t need.
Step 5 – Throw Shower Curtain, Mats, and Facecloths in the Washing Machine
Be sure to throw anything washable in the washing machine to clean at least once a week. The shower curtain in particular can accumulate mould and germs, so be sure to give it a good wash weekly.

Where to Store Bathroom Cleaning Supplies?
When working with bathroom cleaning detergent and other cleaning products, it’s important to practice safety both when using them and when storing them. When you clean your bathroom, especially when using a bleach or ammonia product, make sure the area is well ventilated. Open the doors and windows as much as possible. Store all your detergents in a difficult-to-reach cupboard or a cupboard that can be locked, to keep them away from kids or vulnerable people.
