Cleaning the bathroom is easily my least favorite cleaning chore in the house, but it has to be done.

Here’s a checklist to help clean your bathroom in record time:

Create a permanent location for aids such as: an all-purpose, anti-bacterial cleanser for countertops, mirror and glass; an air freshener; paper towels, toilet brush, garbage can, and laundry hamper.

Decorate your bathroom on a budget.

Tidy Up: Toss discarded clothes and soiled towels into the laundry basket. Replace lids on toiletries, discard used items and clear the countertops by making use of drawer space or cabinets.

Tackle The Toilet: Use a brush and disinfectant cleansers for both inside and around the outside of the bowl. All-purpose, antibacterial sprays are quick and convenient with tough cleaning and disinfecting power. Or, for targeting stubborn grime in crevices and corners, try Mr Clean Magic Eraser. It does wonders on countertops, walls, sinks and the tub.

Clear The Air: Plug in an air freshener that works around the clock, like the electric Febreze Noticeables. This one automatically alternates two complementary scents in your bathroom keeping it refreshed all day.

Countertop Wipedown: With paper towels and a multi-surface spray, wipe over the surfaces, in front, in between and behind your toiletries, grooming products, and appliances. Clean mirrors, glass and chrome.
