How do you clean your bathroom/cloakroom and how long does it take?

[Conundrumish]

Our small bathroom and cloakroom generally take me at least 40 mins and I am sure there must be an easier way.

I have a bit of a thing about germs being transferred after once witnessing a cleaner at work mopping around the loo and then using the mop to clean the taps and basin .

With males in the house and a small moat around the loo (!)I haven't worked out how to mop the floor using a cloth without then transferring all the germs to the next room, unless I change cloths and clean out the bucket of water between cloackroom and bathroom.

At the moment I use disinfectant and cheap loo roll for the floors/loo.

you don't need to be so worried about germs as you sound, but at the cleaner with the mop . Excuse me for asking, but do you possibly have OCD?

I'd mop the cloakroom first and then the bathroom, emptying the mop bucket into the loo at the end. Disinfectant and hot water will kill the germs anyway.

IME a quick daily clean really cuts down on over all cleaning time over the week. A spray and wipe of the sink and tiles, spray and wipe loo seat and a quick scrub of the loo. Takes MAX 5 minutes, more like 3. When you come to do you're weekly/bi-weekly clean you just need to bleach the loo, mop the floor and clean the tiles. I do the tiles once a fortnight, that's plenty.

For the daily loo clean I use cheap liquid soap / bath foam / shower gel, limescale remover once a week and bleach once a week. Keep two cloths (different colours) and a spray bottle of 1/2 water, 1/2 vinegar and a drop of w.up liquid (or a solution of multi-purpose cleaner) in the bathroom along with a squezzy bottle of whatever chaep soap I'm using for the loo. I do a wipe round when I've finished in there in the morning. Easy.

No, not OCD but we have quite a lot of people trampling through our house and males that seem to have appauling aim! My fear is that I'll end up with a bathroom floor smelling like a urinal!

We don't have a cloakroom.

Using the same mop to clean the taps and basin as the floor is minging, though.

I use floor wipe clothes on the floor in the bathroom, tbh. I use Parazone wipes and Toilet Duck disposable brush thing on the toilet and cream cleanser on the basin, taps and bath.

It's small. Takes maybe 15 minutes max.

i have a bathroom, cloakroom and ebsuite and to do all three takes me an hour, sometimes less.

in that hour i do windows + sills, mirrors, basins + tiles, bath +tiles/shower, toilets and finally floors.

i clean basins and bath/shower first and then do the toilets last.

tell them to aim better, thats pretty gross. My three year old doesn't miss

Agree a quick daily clean more often than not. I never "clean" my bathroom as it always is clean as I just do it when I see a bit of dirt

btw i use a cloth for the basin and bath/shower but kitchen roll for loos and throw it away (not down loo) and i mop the floor and then rinse the mop and it then goes in the machine with all the towels at 60 degrees.

toilet paper to wipe up pee, flush down toilet.

Spray everything with cleaner - toilet paper to wipe - down the toilet.

mop floor.

10 minutes max

Do bath and basin with cloth and cream cleaner, old toothbrush round taps and plugholes etc. Then using same cloth wipe over uppermost surfaces of toilet. Then loo roll for undersides, drips on floor, etc - with bathroom spray. Whizz over lino with cloth then chuck in the wash. In your shoes I'd either use two cloths or mop both floors last. My tiny bathroom takes me no more than 15 mins.

Advice to clean as you go is fab - use flannel to wipe over tiles/round bath/sink after use, bleach loo every day or two, empty bin as you go etc. Use old hand towels to wipe over stuff before washing them. Lazy but effective - and as I keep trying to tell my mum, nobody ever lay on their deathbed wishing they'd done more housework. Unless they were dying of some illness contracted from a pissy bathroom floor, I guess.

It is gross Nelix - I think it gets harder as they get bigger though as they are that much higher and a bit of a mis-aim goes further.

yes I have that to come although my son hates mess, always has and if he does dribble on the floor, he sprays and wipes it up himself{blush] totally my fault...hope he stays that way lol!!

Could you leave antibacterial flushable wipes out for the boys and their mishaps?

Before towels are due to go in the wash use I them to polish up wall tiles - gives a lovely shine.

Use yellow sponge to clean toilets, white sponge everything else. Use a glass polish cloth on mirrors. Dry off with a paper towel to leave it shiny. Bleach in toilet. Mop floor with flash

The shower is my bugbear.

yeah i have a bathroom clean routine i suppose, just out of habit really. anyway it goes, squirt of bleach down the loo and a scrub with the brush and leave the brush in the bleachy loo, then general tidy up, then i clean the shower, bath, then the sink with dettol spray. i use the same clothe for these. then i return to the loo and put the brush back in its container and flush. i then clean the outside/seat/flush with loo roll and spray and then flush that away. i then squirt some green toilet duck down to cover the bleach smell and mop the floor. takes me about 15 minutes i suppose once a week.
