➱ Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide
1. Prepare Your Cleaning Solutions
- Glass and Mirror Cleaner: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle.
- All-Purpose Cleaner: Combine 2 cups of water, 1 tablespoon of castile soap, and a few drops of essential oil (optional) in a spray bottle.
- Grout Cleaner: Mix baking soda and water into a paste.
2. Clear the Bathroom
Remove all items from countertops, shower/tub, and shelves. Empty trash cans and place rugs and towels in the laundry.
3. Dust and Vacuum
Start by dusting high surfaces, such as light fixtures, vents, and the exhaust fan. Use a vacuum with an attachment to remove dust and cobwebs from corners, baseboards, and behind the toilet.
4. Clean Mirrors and Glass
Spray the vinegar solution onto mirrors and glass surfaces. Wipe with a microfiber cloth in a circular motion, then finish with a squeegee for a streak-free shine.
5. Scrub the Shower and Tub
Sprinkle baking soda on surfaces that need extra scrubbing, such as soap scum on tiles or the tub. Spray with the all-purpose cleaner, scrub with a brush, and rinse thoroughly. Use a squeegee to remove excess water.
6. Sanitize the Toilet
- Spray the exterior of the toilet, including the base and behind it, with the all-purpose cleaner. Wipe clean with a microfiber cloth.
- For the bowl, sprinkle baking soda inside, scrub with a toilet brush, and flush.
7. Wipe Down Surfaces
Spray countertops, sinks, and cabinets with the all-purpose cleaner. Wipe with a microfiber cloth, paying attention to handles, knobs, and the sink basin.
8. Clean Floors and Baseboards
Vacuum the floor thoroughly, including behind the toilet and under the cabinets. Mop with a solution of water and a small amount of castile soap. Wipe baseboards with a damp microfiber cloth.
9. Check Inside Cabinets and Drawers
Empty and wipe down the insides with the all-purpose cleaner. Replace items neatly and discard any expired products.
10. Address Light Fixtures and Exhaust Fans
Wipe light fixtures with a damp microfiber cloth. Remove and clean exhaust fan covers if they are dusty or greasy.
11. Finish with Final Touches
Replace clean towels and rugs. Spray a light mist of vinegar and water into the air for a fresh scent or use essential oils in a diffuser.
