How often do you clean your bathroom?

Exactly that really. Just finished cleaning the bathroom and got me wondering, how often does everyone else generally clean the bathroom?

Deep clean once a week but shower gets squeegeed after every use due to very hard water. Toilet and sink get a mid week wipe over. I can’t stand a dirty bathroom. Shiny taps bring me joy!

Twice a week, though i wipe around the sink daily if there are splashes or whatever. I use bleach sparingly, maybe once a fortnight.

DisplayPurposesOnly · 06/11/2025 22:40

Once a fortnight. There is only me using it though.

Every day I'll wash the floors, clean the toilet, wash the sink, bath, mirrors, windows etc.

Once a week I'll do a full clean where I empty and clean the cupboards, wash the walls and take the extractor fan off to clean it.

I don’t believe you.

You are a pig farmer and kill an animal there every day. Do I win?

Do you have a job outside the home?

Quick wipe round the sink and toilet every day (keep a packet of multi surface wipes in the bathroom drawer for this). Proper clean eg bath and floors once a week or so, sooner or longer depending on how it’s looking.

Cleaner does it once a fortnight. We squeegee the tiles and screen after every shower use. Otherwise only wipe loo / hand basin / floor tiles for spot cleaning

Can I ask why? How does your bathroom floor get dirty in a day? We wash ours about once a year.

My cleaner comes once a fortnight and does it thoroughly. I'll wipe the toilet / sink in between but not much else!

This basically I bloody hate cleaning the bathroom.

I never "clean the bathroom" in one go.

I scrub and wipe over the toilets with bleach a few times a week. I wipe over the sinks when they need doing. Today I scrubbed the shower, but won't again for quite a while. I wipe over the other surfaces (windowsills, skirting boards) occassionally.

Oh that's a good idea. Might start doing that.

Toilet/ sink gets a once over daily.
Blitz the rest once a month

cupfinalchaos · 06/11/2025 22:49

This thread is also making me feel bad. We have 5 if I cleaned them all every day would be bloody full time job! Ours gets cleaned twice a week and to hell with the others🤣

BartonInthebeans · 06/11/2025 22:51

Everything every day including the windows?! Do you do any other windows every day or just the bathroom ones?

Edited as pressed send too soon

Edited again as realised I'd forgotten to quote the post from ThejoyofNC I was responding to. Think it was the shock

BringBackCatsEyes · 06/11/2025 22:51

The shower gets a full squeege after every use because we have very hard water and I am very proud of my new bathroom (I don't think that actually counts as cleaning as such, it's just removing water). The shower gets the full Viakal treatment every couple of months (glass doors and panels).
The loo maybe 3 times a week, with a removal of seat and deep clean once a week or so.
The surfaces may get a wipe after a shower when they're damp and a full clean once a week with the floors and skirting. The floor around the loo more often probably. I don't really have a schedule, it's just me and DS (16) at home. The sink gets wiped all the time, and Viakal once every couple of weeks.
I'll remove the rainforest shower head for a descale now and again.

A proper clean once a week.
i absolutely hate cleaning bathrooms, and used to put it off.
I soon realised that if I stay on top of them (bathroom and en-suite) that I can get both done very quickly, as luckily they are both quite small.

and I always feel more like I’ve got my shit together when everything’s clean and shiny.

it’s just a shame that my family come home and have the audacity to use them.

Ha yeah that was me when I heard the toilet being flushed upstairs 20 minutes after I cleaned it. I wanted to be the first to pee in the loo I just cleaned.

This is the type of thread that leaves me feeling thoroughly disgusted with myself 😂

HAHAHA ditto

the pink mold blooms look…cute 🫣

Ok it’s not weekly but every fortnight maybe just over, I despise doing it along with changing the bed

Really? Do you have OCD?

Seeing my shiny non scaly chrome plug in the sink also brings me joy.
DS doesn't even notice (swine!).

I want to live in this house 😂😂. I aim for once a week, but sometimes I can only manage a full clean once a fortnight with a wipe down of the toilet/ sink in between

How do cupboards and walls get dirty every week?

This is what I do! Rarely do it all in one go. I’ll clean the shower while I’m waiting for conditioner to sink in, other day I might feel like cleaning the sink. Floor, skirting boards etc when I’m hoovering the upstairs. Loo more often. It’s never completely minging is how I like to think of it 😀

Starthecar · 06/11/2025 22:55

Usually once a week I do a deep clean.
Daily, everyone in the family is responsible for leaving the toilet as surface clean as they found it.
I always swish the basin out as there's always a stray hair or two and what drives me mad is seeing splashes on the mirror so I have a lint-free cloth and I wipe that down every time the light from the window shows up any splashes.

Blimey. 😆

Cynic17 · 06/11/2025 22:36

Exactly! I have never bleached a loo in my life - it's just not necessary, and bleach is vile stuff.

What do you use instead if I may ask?
