Make no mistake, cleaning the bathroom properly in 5 minutes is practically impossible (not to say a miracle). But if you organize yourself well, you can do a facelift and a fairly correct set-up to get out of the way.
How to clean the bathroom step by step
What I do when I don't have life to clean the bathroom thoroughly is to make an express version in five steps to which I dedicate, more or less, a minute to each one.
- Sweep. First of all, I pick up everything in between and sweep the ground. One of the most common cleaning mistakes is to start with the furniture and clean the floor later, since doing so can lift the dirt and carry it to the furniture that we had previously cleaned.
- Soften. Then I focus on softening up. That is, I spray the surfaces with the cleaners to soften the embedded dirt. First, I put disinfectant in the toilet. Next, I spray a universal neutral cleaner on the shower screen, tiles, faucet and base. And finally, the sink (keep in mind that the # 1 mistake we all make when cleaning is not letting the cleaning products work long enough).
- Clean and dry. Using two large old towels (to cover more area and go faster), I clean and dry all the surfaces that I had sprayed. I use one towel to rub and the other to dry. I start with the shower, I continue with the sink (without forgetting in both cases to give a pass to the faucet that, although it may not seem like it, is one of the dirtiest places in the house and the shower head, which is a nest bacteria) and I end up with the toilet, which is the most contaminated area and so I don't carry their germs to other places with the towels I'm using.
- Go over and polish. Then, with a lint-free microfiber cloth, I go over the mirror, the screen and the faucets so that they do not leave marks and make them shine.
- Scrub. And finally I run the mocho across the floor at full speed
Of course, such a quick cleaning does not guarantee complete disinfection, but it is a good solution for emergency situations, as well as not letting dirt accumulate, which is much worse.
