How To Keep Your Bathroom Clean In 5 Minutes A Day

Hate the bathroom chore? Want to spare days’ worth of cleaning? No reason to block off the entire day of cleaning. Here are some substantially quick ways to keep your bathroom clean in 5 minutes a day.

The bathroom can get messy, faster, whatever you do to keep it clean. Especially with little kids. Big family = cleanup.

Doing a tiny bit each day can help you keep things manageable.

The best way to keep your bathroom neat and clean is by assigning 5 minutes, every day.

You’ll be amazed at how much this 5-minute bathroom cleaning routine will save you labor and time, during your deep cleaning sessions.

Now, it is up to you. Either you allocate 5 minutes each day and do the cleaning in one stroke. Or break up the 5-minute routine and do a little bit of cleaning every time you’re in the bathroom.

Both ways work just fine provided you keep at it.

Pro tip:

• Following the steps in the same order every day – beginning and ending in the same place will prevent toing and froing.
• Another way to save time is by having an organized cleaning caddy — a bucket full of cleaning supplies ready. 

HOW TO KEEP YOUR BATHROOM CLEAN IN 5 MINUTES A DAY

Prepare — Time: 30 seconds

Open the windows to air out the bathroom. Start by spraying the shower, toilet, sink, and counters with a cleaner to allow some time to let the product do the work while you complete step 2.

Clear the surfaces — Time: 1 minute

Store the out-of-place items. Including everything from gadgets (blow-dryers/hair straighteners) to knick-knacks (face wash, toothpaste, hairbrush, skincare/makeup products.

Take off used towels. Remove any dirty washing. Place it into the laundry basket.

Cleanup — Time: 2 minutes

Using a paper towel or microfibre cloth – wipe down the mirror, sink, counters, and bath fixtures that we had sprayed earlier. Squeegee shower walls and floors. Work your way top-down.

Quickly wipe off the toilet tank, the external face of the toilet, the lid, the seat, and the rim with paper towels. Scrub the toilet pretty quick and flush.

Dust the bath rugs — Time: 30 seconds

Dust off the bath rugs before you sweep or mop the floors. This small step makes a big difference in keeping the bathroom lint and soil-free.

Sweep/mop the floor — Time: 1 minute

Lastly, clean the floor.

I prefer wiping the floors with a damp mop over sweeping. Still, sweeping makes for a good option when pushed for time. This is the final step of your daily 5-minute bathroom cleaning routine.

End step — Time: 10 seconds

Lastly, place fresh towels. Turn on the fragrant diffuser filled with essential oils. And, you’re ready to go.
