The bathroom is the room that is most often visited by residents and therefore the order in it is maintained for a short time. And, if you do not know some tricks of quick cleaning, then this process will take a lot of time and effort.

Basic tips and life-hacks for quick cleaning:

• The first step is to clean up and take out all unnecessary things from the bathroom. Very often, accessories that are rarely used by residents are stored in this room. They not only create a visual sense of disorder but also make it difficult to wipe the accumulated dust. Cosmetics and body care products, hygiene supplies, curling irons, hairdryers, and other items should be removed from open surfaces in cabinets or taken to another room. You can also store towels in the linen closet or dresser in the bedroom. Get rid of empty bottles, jars and other stuff that are not used in everyday life. Everything you need should be placed in cabinets, on shelves, and in drawers. For storing things in the bathroom, drawer units and closed cabinets are best suited.

• Then you need to clean all the freed surfaces, mirror, faucet and steering wheels, plumbing from plaque, stains, dried drops, residues of detergents. In order to remove dirt easily, it is important to use appropriate products – sprays for tiles, mirrors, plumbing fixtures, glass (if a shower is installed in the bathroom). Spray the solutions first, starting with the mirrors. Then, in the same order, always from top to bottom, clean the surfaces. After pre-soaking, dirt can be easily removed from the coatings. To make the elements of the room shine with cleanliness, they may be additionally wiped with a microfiber cloth or paper towel.

• At the final stage of express cleaning, you should pay attention to the floors. You need to vacuum them first, and then carry out wet cleaning. It is worth cleaning the floors with the addition of special household products corresponding to the type of floor covering.

During express cleaning, not the entire area can be physically covered. But if there is a little more time, then it is worth paying attention to other small details:

• For example, clean the showerhead. Limescale often builds up on it. Blocking into the holes of the showerhead, it prevents the full flow of water. Over time, the problem can only get worse, as a result of which you will have to replace the showerhead. To avoid this, every time during express cleaning, apply a special solution from plaque to the nozzle and leave it for a few minutes. After that, it is enough to turn on the shower and gently rinse off the chemical.

• It also doesn’t hurt to put the shutter in order. If there is no time for washing, then at least thoroughly wipe it with a damp cloth soaked in a solution of water with 2 tablespoons of vinegar. After cleaning, it is advisable to hang the curtain and let it dry well to prevent the formation of bacteria and mold.

• You can freshen the ceiling. This procedure is best done at the very beginning of express cleaning. To freshen up this part of the room, use a telescopic mop with a special clean nozzle. In the absence of outdated plaque, debris, and mold stains, it is enough to wipe the surface of the ceiling with a mop a couple of times, collecting dust and cobwebs.

First of all, you need to develop the habit of wiping dry with a paper towel or microfiber towel every time you use the sink, bathtub, and shower. So the plumbing will look much cleaner, more beautiful, and more well-groomed. In addition, there will be no buildup of plaque from water and detergents on smooth surfaces, which will simplify general and express cleaning.

You can also combine useful with very useful. For example, while brushing your teeth, you can dust off, arrange things in places, or rub the faucet. And then, while rinsing the mouth, you can wipe the mirror.

If there is a combined bathroom in the house or apartment, it is important to wipe the cistern, the lid, and the toilet itself from dust as often as possible. Don’t forget about the toilet brush. It is recommended to clean it regularly using special disinfectants. To make the brush look clean and not become an ideal breeding ground for bacteria, it must be soaked in the solution for 15-30 minutes.

If you don’t have the right product at hand, you can prepare one yourself. Dilute in unnecessary containers:

• 2 tbsp. kitchen soda;
• 2 tbsp. salt;
• ¼ glasses of table vinegar;
• 1 tbsp. detergent.

All these ingredients need to be poured with a small amount of boiling water. Then you want to pour over the toilet brush and leave for about 1 hour.

Make use of the space under the bathroom. Compact folding drawers will help you conveniently store various bathing accessories, bottles with household chemicals, and other items.

Place hooks, rails on the walls and the inside of the door. Such small accessories will help to visually relieve the space in the bathroom and get rid of the feeling of clutter.

It is important to regularly ventilate the bathroom. Since there is almost always a high level of air humidity in it, you should periodically turn on forced ventilation or leave the doors to the room open. This will prevent the development of mold and mildew.

To make the bathroom pleasing with neatness and a clean look, it is worth making it a rule to clean and wash one thing every day: a mirror, a bathroom, a toilet bowl, a floor. Spending only 5-15 minutes to perform these procedures, you can significantly reduce the time of express cleaning.
