You can take on an extra load of laundry that needs folding or a massive pile of dirty dishes that need to be washed, but not dirty toilets.
Cleaning toilets is at the top of the list of things homeowners hate to do. Find us one person who likes to look straight into the toilet bowl and scrub off the tracks, and we’ll treat you to a year of no cleaning (just kidding.)
It’s worse when your toilet looks and smells disgusting. But you need to get in there and finish the job for Thanksgiving, at least. Let’s look at a quick four-step guide to cleaning your bathroom squeaky.
- Clear the Coast
Shampoos, conditioners, body washes, soaps, liquid detergents, and other bath products sit in the same spot daily. This forms water rings on the counter, making it unclean. On regular days, you may not have the time to give your counter a deep clean. But when a special occasion is upon you, you will make time to give your bathroom a particular treatment.
You must remove all the bottles from their place and clear the coast before you begin. That way, you can scrub and clean better without interruptions.
Remove the rugs and trash cans you’ve placed on the floors. If there are watermarks or stains underneath, they’ll also need cleaning.
- Dust and Sweep
Once you remove everything and there are no bumps in the way, begin dusting. Finishing dusting at the start is essential because the dust specks may make freshly mopped floors dirty later.
Reach into the farthest corners for cobwebs, dust the vents, and unscrew light bulbs to clean those too.
When you dust, you’ll find dust, grime, fallen hair, and even dead bugs on window ledges and overhead platforms. Not cleaning those compromises the overall hygiene of your toilets. That’s a step you can’t miss and must do first.
- Clean other Surfaces
Once that’s done, apply a cleaning solution on the floors, doorknobs, windows, shelves, baseboards, shower closets, and blinds.
Let it sit while you tend to the bathtub. The cleaning solution needs time to disintegrate and dissolve the dirt before you wash it off.
Start scrubbing the insides of your shower closet or bathtub walls. Use a soft sponge soaked in cleaner to dislodge grime and dirt. You might need a harder sponge to remove the buildup and treat the stains. Wash off with warm water and return to the floors.
Wash the floors and other surfaces and mop them as usual. Remember to wipe away excess water and scrub the tops of the drains, too. Open the windows or turn on the ventilation system to let fresh air in and dry up the place.
- Clean the Toilet Seat
This is the most challenging and demanding part of the toilet cleaning routine. You look at the toilet brush, and your insides start to turn. You may even feel sick at the thought of putting your hand inside the bowl and scrubbing it.
But it gets a lot easier if you have and use trackless toilet flush sheets. They’re much more sustainable than chemical cleaners that impact the environment because they’re non-toxic and water-soluble. All it takes is 22 minutes for them to decompose and flush out from the drains.
You must place one sheet in the bowl before using it and do your business as usual. Drain once (not multiple times), and your toilet will look and smell as fresh as new!
