How often do you clean your bathroom?

[Tonet]

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

OK I stand corrected on the bleach issue. I don’t use it personally – mainly bc for sure I would get it on my (probably black) clothes!

Putting in a plea for ditching the disposable wipes in favour of cleaning cloths tho. I cut up old joggers and T shirts to use.

Don't. That is totally unnecessary.

Lucky if it’s done once a month. I do spot clean as I go so the loo will be cleaned daily, sinks and taps whenever toothpaste is on them. Shower gets sprayed with the post shower cleaner. Tub is cleaned down after use. Floor gets a dusting with a microfibre broom every few days.

Every once in bc a wjile I’ll come and do it from top to bottom. Tiles, windows wash down skirtings etc.

Don't people get soap in the basin from washing their hands, toothpaste!

Sounds to me as tho you clean it more than I do! Not sure what others mean by cleaning the bathroom, but I mean cleaning the loo, cleaning the taps and sink, cleaning the bath or shower, cleaning the floor. So what you do on a regular.

I don't think most people mean they clean the bathroom windows every couple of days?

Once a week properly, shower gets sqweegied or however you spell it after every use and toilets bleached daily.

Whole bathroom: once a fortnight
Sinks: once a week

It's hard to tell on here but I'm baffled at the people who think it needs cleaning more than once or twice a week. Most of what @ThejoyofNC describes sounds like annual spring cleaning not daily jobs.

You're either cleaning something that's not had chance to get dirty, just why? Or someone is leaving filth if it actually does need cleaning, so they need to stop it, rather than just continuously cleaning up after them.

Yes, but it's rinsed away at the time, no 'cleaning' required. Or if there's a spot of toothpaste, it could just stay there. Nothing bad would happen.

I did used to spend ages in there cleaning as boys seemed to get wee splashed around the toilet area. I once walked in on my then 6yo who had been weeing with no hands and was reliant on pressure for aim (apparently all the boys at school did this) fixing that meant a lot less cleaning. Also put in new bathrooms which seem to resist dirt better.

Sink and loo, midweek. Whole bathroom Saturdays. I use the squeegee on the shower screen and tiles every morning after I shower, though. I live on my own.

Everyday. It only takes a few minutes and means I never have to do a deep clean.

I hate cleaning bathrooms so I clean them randomly. DH and I are quite clean in general so the main thing is keeping on top of limescale by giving the loos a good scrub about once a week. If people are coming to stay I do a more thorough clean including getting everything all shiny. I clean the showers by scrubbing with a dish scrubber thing while im showering.

We don’t seem to have that issue in my house - thank goodness! 🤣

What the hell? What kind of toxic shits do your family do that means you need to clean an extractor fan once a week? I can’t say I’ve ever cleaned a bathroom extractor fan in 30 years of bathroom ownership.

Also are they pissing up the walls? Smearing stuff in cupboards? The mind boggles why a cupboard needs a deep clean every week.

This sounds like someone desperately trying to find some kind of meaning in their life.

Bleach is really bad for the environment. Google it!

Me too

Just wondering - people who are cleaning less than weekly/fortnightly….what about when guests come? Do you make sure it’s clean for them?

Every day.

Yes, very definitely being sarcastic 😂 But this is MN, where people wash their sheets every day and clean their houses with a toothbrush.

Once a week-ish here, slightly more often if it looks extra manky or if we have guests round. Life is too short to clean every day, plus working full time means I have neither the time nor the inclination.

@SirChenjins phew! I can't imagine anything worse than cleaning the bathroom every time someone used it!

Cleaner does it fully once a week. I’ll bleach the toilets and wipe the sink down in between.

Imo @ThejoyofNC was exaggerating for comic effect.

We blade down then dry the shower screen and tiles after each use.
Loo, sink and window sill are wet wiped with loo roll daily then cleaned weekly.
I’m a great fan of white vinegar bought in 5l quantities. Neat it cleans the floor to ceiling tiles and removes limescale from taps. Mixed with washing up liquid it thoroughly cleans all else without scratching or dulling surfaces. After each application I rinse then buff dry. An old toothbrush for grouting and changeable heads on a swivel mop make the jobs easy.
Those who don’t like bleach in the loo now have me thinking of alternatives. Thanks.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to quote you @Allthecoloursoftherainbow4
