One home cleaning task that most people aren’t too excited about tackling is the bathroom. However, the fall is a great time to a deep cleaning in every room of the home. By scrubbing and organizing the space now, you’ll be able to keep it cleaner and tidier through the winter months. These bathroom cleaning tips for fall will help you do an efficient and effective job:
Shower curtain and liner. Remove and toss out the old shower curtain liner and replace it with a new PEVA liner. It’s also a good idea to wash your shower curtain. Just be sure to check the label for the proper care instructions, as some fabrics and materials may not hold up well in the washing machine.
Scrub grout. Grout can seem difficult to clean, but with the right brush and some bleach, you’ll be able to get rid of bacteria and stains. Using a smaller brush, like a toothbrush, allows you to get down into the small spots between tiles. Open up the windows and use bleach, dipping the brush in and then scrubbing the grout in the shower and on the floor.
Walls and ceiling. To clean the walls, simply spray them down with an all purpose solution and then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Take care to clean well around the toilet, too, and don’t forget the walls above the bathtub tile or shower stall. Use a duster on a long pole to reach into high corners of the ceiling where small spider webs may be lurking.
We typically think of the spring as the ideal time to give the home a deep cleaning, but these bathroom tips make it easy to freshen up your home in the fall. Before closing the windows and turning on the heat for the colder months, take the time to tackle the bathroom.
September can be a very busy month for families. As the kids get back to school, life at home can tend to get hectic. Having a tidy home is one way to help reduce stress and make it easier to settle into new routines. Here are some bathroom tips to help you stay more organized this September:
Baskets. Baskets are an ideal way to store various items, such as towels, extra toilet paper rolls, and even cleaning supplies. With a basket, you can leave it out and have it serve as a functional decor item, or you can tuck it away in a linen closet, or underneath the sink, or stick it on a shelf. They’re versatile, and make it easy to have necessary items close at hand.
Drawer Organizers. Simple organizers for vanity drawers are perfect for smaller items, such as cosmetics, hair accessories, and styling tools. Rather than keeping drawers cluttered and full of junk, you can get all of the important items neatly arranged. It will make getting ready for work and school a breeze in the mornings, since everything you need will be in the right spot.
Clean Counters. Take a few minutes each evening to tidy up the counter space on the vanity. Put dirty washcloths and towels in the hamper, and put any small items, like cosmetics and accessories, in the proper place in drawers and cabinets. Spending a few minutes each night to do this will ensure that that the bathroom stays neat for the next morning.
The bathroom is one of the busiest rooms in the home every morning. Keeping it clean and free of clutter will help you to feel more organized and less stressed. By following these simple bathroom organizing tips and tricks, you’ll make it easier for your family to get ready for the day.
