Spring Clean your Bathroom Checklist

Tuesday 11th March 2014

Your medicine cabinet is overflowing. You can't remember what colour the tile in your shower used to be. This spring cleaning how-to will get your bathroom back in shape.

• Give your bathroom a general tidy up
Throwing out old toiletries that you will never use. Make room for yourself to clean.
• Dust down the ceiling and corners.
The walls may need a clean, as will pictures or artwork on the walls
• Dust the vents and fans.
Dust the outside of vents and fans. You may need to use a gentle cleanser mixed with water and a cleaning cloth. Take down light fixtures and gently wash and dry
• Take down draperies, curtains, blinds, etc, to wash or have cleaned according to the directions.
• Scrub the shower and tub.
Don't forget fixtures. Launder or clean your shower curtain and replace the shower curtain liner. Clean shower doors. Dissolve soap scum buildup with commercial cleaner or natural cleaners. Do not use lemons and vinegar or other acidic cleansers on tile grout. The cleansers will eat away the grout.
• Scrub down the toilet.
Don't forget the handle, crevices on the outside, and underneath.
• Wash the inside and outside of medicine cabinets
• Wash down the sink and fixtures.
Don't forget to thoroughly clean your mirrors. Since your spring cleaning, use cotton swabs to scrub in tight spots on your sink.
• Shake out bathroom rugs.
Launder them and hang to dry.

Make sure to leave the window open to ventilate the cleansers you will be using.
