How often do you clean the bathroom?

[crumbpet]

Is once a month sufficient? Family of 3. Loo is cleaned weekly.

Depends though doesn't it?

I would happily let anyone use my bathroom even though technically it's cleaned less than once a week
I don't leave skid marks, splash soap or toothpaste around the sink or anything like that!
Stuff like using a daily shower spray, wiping up any spills as I go, washing hands carefully means it always stays clean

There are 2 of us. We have 2 bathrooms and a downstairs loo. They get cleaned weekly unless they look bad in between, However, we both clean the bath and shower after we have used them.

Weekly.

Toilets minimum 2x a week.

Shower 1x a week

Sink every other day.

Vacuum 2-3 x a week

I have once and I hadn't cleaned the toilet beforehand and was a bit embarrassed but I have never seen her again.

Loo and sink - often.
Floor and shower - then needed.

As we go along, depends what needs wiping or cleaning. Then a big clean as in everything done all at once when I can be bothered. Extra check and possible clean before visitors.

Same here!

A thorough clean weekly but bath has a quick swish round after each use. The sink is cleaned if it looks grubby in-between. Toilet Duck is used almost daily as l like to freshen the pan after a number two. Every three weeks for a family of three is very unhygienic.

Surfaces once a day.
Deep clean once a week.

There is only me here and I clean the bathroom when I can be bothered, so it might be every couple of weeks, or every couple of months. I'm rarely ill, and when I am it's nothing to do with my bathroom.

Clean it as little or as often as you like OP, it's your bathroom.

What's with all these 1950s style competitve cleaning stories on MN?

I live alone so I clean it once a week.

Every day. Shower, toilet, basin, floor, etc. But I'm immuno compromised, so it has to be done. Same with the kitchen.

If I wasn't, the shower and toilet would be done daily and that's it.

Same here, for both bathrooms. Tiles in shower get a good descaling every couple of weeks.

Deep clean every week. It starts to look grim about halfway through the week so gets a midweek once over. Shower is squeegeed and wiped after every use though as very hard water here and I will not let it win!

Weekly main clean so floor mopped, all surfaces cleaned etc. In-between I try to clean the loos every two or three days. Same for the bathroom basin thanks to the toothpaste goblin here! I personally find the longer you leave it the more stubborn the cleaning is when you get round to it especially things like showers, etc.

As for the bleach debate; do people not realise that what goes down your toilet eventually goes through a chlorinfication stage at the sewage treatment plant? Yep bleach basically. I'm not overly concerned about germs but I still feel compelled to pour bleach over them. I put bleach down both loos yesterday morning. Not been done over the weekend since Thursday. Felt like a good germ kill score with both loos. I sometimes quite like that power thing. It's like five minutes ago there were probably a few million germs and I have now killed them all. All gone. Dead. Well 99.9% anyway.

Bath, shower panel, sink and loo get a clean daily.

The floor around twice a week unless needed more.

The tiles, behind the movable cabinet, window and mirror once a week.

We are a family of 5 with one bathroom at the moment, so it gets a lot of use.

Daily - Wipe clean wash basin and floor and clean the toilet bowl and put bleach in.

Twice weekly - cleaners do a deep clean - scrubbing shower cubicle and bathtub, mopping floors and emptying bins.

Daily. If I leave it any longer it just looks awful. Its very quick to clean and makes me happy. The rest of the house tends to get cleaned if I know we are having visitors!

I'm quite curious about the worry about germs. I posted earlier, basically I clean as I go along. Never use bleach or other heavy duty cleaners. And horrors of horrors, i wipe the outside of the loo with a cloth and then chuck it in with the rest of the washing. It takes moments!

Maybe once a fortnight deep clean. I might clean the sink if it has toothpaste on it occasionally or clean the toilet if it’s dirty, I am certainly not cleaning it daily and my house is pretty immaculate to be honest.

Can't believe the amount of people just throwing bleach down the loo. It's a large source of organochlorine pollution, it's corrosive, a potential health hazard. And doesn't really do much in the toilet anyway. You are just polluting the waste water system and water ways. Vinegar will do the job. Or you can do little and often scrubbing. This is a totally bizarre and wasteful practice, and just goes to show how bad advertising can be.

I can't believe anyone only cleans their bathroom once a month. Everything, including all the tiles I can reach😅is done once a week. If we've got visitors or something looks particularly bad, then it'll be done more. We've got builders in for about eight days soon, so I'll do downstairs toilet and sink probably very couple of days as changing hand towel, as they'll be eight of us using it.

I clean bits at different times, the sink a few times a week. Loo I put loo cleaner in it and give it a wipe a few times a week but a proper scrub maybe twice a month. My bath taps weekly but the whole bath twice a month.

There's only me using it so loo and basin every week plus a wipe round the shower. Thorough clean once a month.

I'm not a fan of the overuse of the word 'grim; on this site, but once a month for a family of three doesn't sound like enough to me. My cleaner cleans the bathrooms once a week at home, and it's just me. I'll squeegee down the shower after I've used it because it's a hard water area. I spend a couple of days a week in a small place in town, but even there I will clean the shower/bathroom every couple of weeks. I'm looking for a cleaner there (fortnightly would do) too, but it's not made it to the top of the list yet!!
