Hi Bess, I'm not good with those machines either. I actually had a friend who cleaned her bathroom everyday after she got home from work. Can you imagine?
What I do: 1) remove towels and laundry to the washer 2) vacuum the floor 3) take all the bottles, holders, dispensers to the kitchen 4) windex the mirror & any pictures, dust whatever is necessary 5) spray the sink & toilet with comet spray (if heavy buildup let sit for few minutes and wipe, repeat and let the spray sit for 10 minutes to sanitize) also now is the time to spray down any toddler stools or toilet seats, I let them sit in the bathtub... When I'm done cleaining, I wipe the surface down with an old clean towel, then I set the stool/seat in the sink to air dry. 6) add toilet bowl cleaner and comet spray the outside of the tub/shower wipe off (same as above if necessary)and spray down the inside of the tub and shower surround. If very heavey buildup, you may go through a couple of bottles of the spray. I know I did when I cleaned my brothers bathroom before he moved. 7) mop the floor, it will be stickey with all the spray runoff from the toilet. You may need to mop twice, so just go over it twice. Use your mop to wash the baseboards if you can and you may be able to get away using the mop to clean the little pipe that comes down from behind the toilet. 8) during spray/wait time, wash the bottles & dispensers so they are ready to go back to the bathroom after you are finished in there. Now, I don't get to the walls much, but you may need to wash them occasionally too. Also, consider taking another chore day to wash the doorknobs throughout the house, not just the bathroom. During the week, take chlorox premoistened towels, they sell different kinds in the cleaning isle. I use 2 to wipe down the sink/counter, parts of the tub, & the toilet. Works nicely. Oh, and rubbing alcohol on cotton balls wiped over the faucets shine them up nicely. Note, alcohol doesn't work on brass, turns it green. Hope that helps, Now I think I need to get in there to clean mine too! Warmly, Theresa Now to my plea for help...does anyone have any ideas/suggestions/insights/etc. on cleaning bathrooms? This is THE big roadblock for me. I absolutely HATE cleaning the bathroom. So, as a result, I let things slide until they reach critical mass and then I have a big chore on my hands and I hate it all the more. I'm sure there's an easier way to handle this. A friend of mine even gave me a Black & Decker "Scumbuster" which is supposed to make the job easier, but I think I'm using it wrong...story of my life when it comes to small appliances! :-) Thanks for letting me vent. All suggestions welcome! :-) Take care everyone, Bess *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Journey from clutter List Website http://journeyfromclutter.com Members Only Page http://journeyfromclutter.com/MembersOnly/MembersArea.htm Unsubscribe: email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'unsubscribe' in the 'Subject:' field to be removed from the main list.
