Reasonable length of time to clean bathroom?

[bathromwoes]

Please help me asses whether IABU.

How long would you say is reasonable to do a "deep clean" of a family bathroom?

It's a small room; toilet, sink, shower over bath. Tiled floor. Panel sheets around bath/shower.

It's becoming an increasing issue between DH and I, although I accept symptomatic of bigger things!

Thanks!

Deep clean? In 15 minutes? What planet are you all on? I can't even do a wipe in 15 minutes, a deep clean could take 2+ hours.

I thought you were calling us asses!

Abut half an hour. Maybe an hour if I'm also doing windows.

I'd say 20 minutes because I'm not sure what the difference is between a normal clean and a deep clean in a bathroom?!
It's not like there's furniture to pull out and clean behind.
Any mould is cleaned every day/week anyway.

I’m about to clean both bathrooms so will be able to answer in a bit 😃

Deep clean, twice a year reset type effort an hour.
General everyday clean 10/15min.

I love a good competitive cleaning thread 😆😆

Wash the ceiling???

My 'deep clean' only happens about once a year, so would take me a couple of hours, as it would involve scrubbing grout to get the little bits of mould that start to form, cleaning the silicone properly.

15 mins for a deep clean seems impossible to me.

Unless it hasn't been touched for weeks I can't say more than 20 mins. DH takes longer but he doesn't even wash the floor.

Depends on so many things OP. Is he hiding in there on his phone?
Are you taking too long/too short a time?
Here it would be around 30 minutes for me, 10 minutes for DH as we have different perspectives.

I’m amazed about all the bleach use, I banned the blasted stuff years ago!

It takes my cleaner about 30 minutes to do each bathroom and I do nothing with them the rest of the week. They are quite clean. All the floors are stone including the walk in showers so she uses the steam mop. No idea what she does with the rest but she worked for rich Russians for years so is well trained!

Thinking about it, it depends on your grout situation. In my old house I used to spend ages on the grout, now I have blue-grey grout and a very powerful extractor fan, and I hardly need to do anything to it

Have cleaned both bathrooms. May have had a break in the middle. Was a medium sized clean. So somewhere between 20 and 30 min per bathroom

OP Said a deep clean, so I'm assuming bleaching th grouting, scrubbing the tiles etc.
15 mins sounds fine for a weekly once over .

A deep clean would probably take me 30 mins.
That’s scrubbing floors and wiping down all the tiles (floor to ceiling in our bathroom in quite a large bathroom) giving the shower screen a proper clean as well as the usual toilet/sink/bath cleaning.

A quick clean a few times a week would take 15 minutes, but a once a week deep clean takes me about an hour.

We have a small bathroom but it gets dusty & full of hair (my lovely son is a very hairy man). I spray the bath tiles with mould & mildew remover, clean the bath & platic bath mat, bath screen. Shelves are cleaned, rest of the tiles in bathroom are cleaned. Clean windows, tooth brush/toothpaste holder, sink, toilet, chrome radiator. Clean all the floors.

No, no I don’t. Apart from being terrible for the environment, I don’t see why a bath is such a seething mass of filth that it needs bleaching, or why it needs bleaching anyway.

You bleach floors? Why?

I don't use bleach, well neat bleach anyway

Cif cream for the bath, shower, sink or flash French soap spray
Toilet cleaner, wipe the rest of it with whatever is to hand
Method floor cleaner
Limescale remover as needed

I have never used bleach in our house . Bathroom gets a wipe down in about 2 mins after morning shower every day.Sink as and when ,loo when necessary.Never new there was a removable seal on shower door until I read this thread 👍

I just wanted to say thank you for this thread, as I started reading it earlier and it inspired me to go and clean my bathroom!

What are you all doing in your bathrooms that means walls and floors need scrubbing and bleaching? What are you scrubbing off??

Surely the bathroom is pretty much the cleanest and easiest to clean room in the house.

You can't bleach grout or sealant anyway, you're going to end up making it crumble.

15-20 minutes

I cannot find the post/s but a few of you have mentioned 'steaming' or using a 'steamer' ... can you tell me what you are using?

Thanks MN!

Full clean - including all the tiles, shelves, sinks, loo, floor, shower, bath, de-limescale, etc? 30-40 minutes
