How To Deep Clean A Bathroom

The bathroom can get surprisingly dusty so it’s always a good idea to dust your light fixtures.

Not only will it get rid of dust, but it will help make the bathroom seem lighter and brighter.

Every few months don’t forget to clean your bathroom fan if you have one. It can get really dusty and if you have a light attached to it they tend to attract bugs. 🙁

Clean Windows And Blinds

If you have any windows or blinds in your bathroom you will want to spend a few minutes cleaning those.

I am always surprised at how dusty my window above my bathtub gets.

Spray down the window with glass cleaner and then wipe with a microfiber cloth.

Finally, take a damp microfiber cloth or a vacuum and dust the trim around the window.

Clean The Shower and/or Tub

Cleaning the tub and shower is usually pretty quick and easy. I recommend using an all-purpose cleaner to spray down the tub and shower.

Then, after letting it sit for a few minutes use a microfiber cloth to wipe it down.

Most of the time if you regularly clean your tub and shower with an all-purpose cleaner it will clean it well and get rid of any dirt and grime.

Since showers and tubs tend to have moisture issues they often have mold issues too. You can see my favorite tips on getting rid of mold on caulk & grout to clean any mold off in the bathroom.

Finally, if your shower door has buildup on it that won’t come off with the all-purpose spray you can use this easy tip to remove any hard water stains.

Wipe Down Sink and Countertops

Once you have the tub and shower cleaned you will want to spend a few minutes cleaning the sink and countertops.

I like to use an all-purpose spray to clean them. Just spray down the sink and countertop and then let it sit for about a minute. Then use a microfiber cloth to wipe them down.

Once your countertops are clean you can move on to your cabinets.

Clean or Dust Cabinets

I am amazed at how dirty my bathroom cabinets get. They can gather dust, but more regularly I find either lotion or toothpaste spilled down the side of bathroom cabinets.

To keep your bathroom cabinets looking great just grab a microfiber cloth and get it damp.

Gently run the cloth over the cabinets to remove any dust or grime. Pay careful attention to the knobs on the cabinets. They can be dirty from everyday use.

If you use a lot of hairsprays you may need to remove it from the cabinets. I love this simple tip to remove the hairspray build up.

Scrub Your Toilets

Scrubbing your toilets is a pretty quick and easy task, although not the most pleasant task.

Add some toilet cleaner to your bowl and let it soak. While the cleaner is doing it’s thing wipe down the outside of the toilet.

You can use a simple all-purpose cleaner and a paper towel or you can use wipes. Personally, I just use some lysol wipes to quickly clean the toilet. Clean the lid, seat, and base. Don’t forget to clean the handle too.

Once you are done wiping down the toilet you can then use a toilet brush to clean the bowl.

If you have hard water stains in your toilet you can use this simple trick to remove hard water stains without scrubbing.

Mop and Sweep Bathroom Floors

Once you are finished cleaning everything in your bathroom then you will want to clean your floors.

Usually, mine are kind of dusty and dirty at this point so I sweep first and then mop.

Once you are finished cleaning the floors your bathroom should be done and the floors ready to dry.

Don’t spend your whole day cleaning the bathroom. With these simple tips, you can give your bathroom a deep clean and move on with the things you really want to do.
