Bathrooms can be the hardest place to clean. You think of taking it easy one day and next thing you know is your bathroom’s got shower odors or unpleasant smells, and the next day – you won’t feel like going in.

The one way to ensure your bathroom is fresh and smelling good is keeping a daily cleaning routine. If you clean after breaks, say every alternate day of twice a week, you wouldn’t actually save on time since cleaning will become more difficult and time consuming. Cleaning daily will make it quick and easy job each day and you can easily incorporate it into your routine.

·         Wear your gloves or you’ll be grossed out.

·         Start with cleaning the wash basin and toilet bowl first. Use a good toilet cleaner  that also acts as a disinfectant.

·         Once the toilet bowl and sink are clean, wipe the surfaces with disinfectant wipes. You can also use surface cleaner that doubles up as a deodorizer, or use essential oils with your regular anti-bacterial cleaner.

·         Mop the floor. Spray the floor with diluted floor cleaner and mop it.

·         Keep your bathroom ventilated. If your bathroom has windows, keep them open for some time during the day as and when weather allows. If it is not possible to open the windows, keep the exhaust fan on and the bathroom door open for some time.

·         Every time you wash the toilet bowl, keep the brush suspended on the bowl and place the seat on it to keep it steady. You can keep the brush back when it has air dried properly.

This was the things you should do on a daily basis. Here are a few things you can do on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, depending on how much time you have.

·         Clean your shower with a shower spray.

·         Wash your towels, mats and shower curtains.

·         Take out trash and change the liners. Use odor-control liners or use fabricsoftener sheets in the bin to neutralize odors. Baking soda is also a very good odor absorber, you can keep a filter paper at the base of the bin and lavishly sprinkle some baking soda on filter paper and then put the liner. And in the liner also you can sprinkle some baking soda.

·         Make a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Pour this mixture down the sink or shower drain. This will clear the debris and keep the drains from clogging. Alternatively, you can also use drain opener, which will keep your drain clean and remove stink.

·         Clean your toilet brush.

Some additional ideas to keep your bathroom aromatic:

·         Pour a few drops of essential oil on toilet paper.

·         Use a fragrance diffuser with your favorite essential oils.
