De-Cluttering In December
Ahh yes, the bathroom everyone’s favorite room to clean. I’m
definitely being sarcastic. It’s my least favorite to clean but one of the most
rooms to keep clean along with the kitchen.
The bathroom is probably the least time consuming of them
all, so you should be done in noo time. Remember, this is part three. We’ve
gone through the kitchen and the living room, now it’s time for the bathroom.
Sigh. Yes I know. Get everything you need and just get it done.

This is how to get your bathroom ready for 2014
In 5 easy steps
*I like to remove everything out of the bathroom and start
with a clean canvas so to say.
1. Gather all of the cleaning supplies you will
need. I like to use bleach (diluted in water), Ajax ( for the toilet and tub), Scrubbing
Bubbles ( tile cleaner for about $3). I recently ran out and purchased the
family dollar version and it worked quite well actually. I also love Pine-sol or
Fabuloso for the floor ( I add a few caps full to a bucket of warm water ). Lastly,
a microfiber rag ( for mirrors), a regular cleaning rag and a green scrub
sponge. Listo!
*Before sure to have your door and or windows open
will using these products.
2.I like to start with the tub. I cover the tub
with Ajax and Scrubbing Bubbles( you don’t need much )and I like to let it sit
for a little before I start. Don’t forget to spray your bath tiles to remove
soap scum and dirt. I use the green scrub sponge to clean the tub and occasionally
I’ll use my broom ( it’s so much easier). Once the tub is nice and clean I move
on to the tiles. Whenever I use the Scrubbing Bubbles I only need a rag to wipe
the tiles clean, super easy! Last week I used the generic brand and it took a
lot more work but it worked, eventually. After I wiped the tiles down I spray
some bleach diluted in water right on the grout. Then, once again I let it sit
and scrub with my green scrubbing sponge.
3. Next, Spray down the toilet with the bleach
water and sprinkle Ajax or your favorite cleaner inside of the bowl. Scrub it
down, wipe it down and BOOM! You’re done. Don’t forget to clean the toilet nob as
well. * Vinegar is a great disinfectant and can be used to substitute every
product I mentioned except for scrubbing bubbles. I haven’t quite tried vinegar
to clean my tub and tiles just yet but when I do, I will let you know.
4. Next, I like to spray Scrubbing Bubbles on the
counter and in the sink. I use my regular rag to wipe it down and use my micro
fiber rag to give the faucets a nice shiny
finish. Since I’m already using the micro rag I go ahead and spray my mirrors with
a bit of Windex or just a bit of water and this special rag will do the rest. Before
I mop I like to bring everything back into the bathroom. Wipe down lotions, deodorants,
tooth paste etc.
5. Lastly , I sweep the floors. Then, I fill my
bucket up with warm water and add a caps of Pine-sol and mop away. Eso es todo.
That is all.
*Light your favorite scented candle. My favorite scent right now is Spearmint and Eucalyptus by bath and body works. I don't have this candle but i do have the body lotion and its my top choice right now..
* Don’t forget to let everyone
know the bathroom floor is wet!
