Best mehod for dealing with errant hairs in bathroom?

It's possible this is a 'me problem' as I lose too much hair but how do others cope with hairs when cleaning the bathroom? They are found on the bath, sink, toilet, everywhere. It feels like I am pushing hairs around when I'm cleaning and it is dispiriting when errant hairs aren't picked up and are left behind. They then can get stuck on the microfibre cloths. I have started wiping the hairs up first with a bathroom wet wipe, throwing that away, and then cleaning the bathroom. Wondered if anyone has a better method?

Can you just hoover them up before you start cleaning?

From the bath and sink? Gosh, never considered that.

Rinse them from the sink with the tap and from the bath with the shower head. Not you personally, whoever they belong to at any given time.

Yes, I hoover everywhere. You just need the right hoover attachments. As long as they're dry they'll come up easily.

This is a great tip! Why have I not thought of this?

I expect people to get rid of their own hair when they have finished using the bathroom.

I wipe them with a piece of toilet roll and bin before wet cleaning.
For a 3 male, 1 female household, we're a suprisingly hairy bunch 😂

I hoover the bathroom and toilet floors with the attachment tools too. I shake the bathmat first so loose hairs drop to the floor.
