Once a week

Jobs that need doing less frequently but take a little more elbow grease…

  • Scrub tiles
  • Clean bath tub
  • Clean whole toilet including bowl inside and out, cistern, handle and lid
  • Clean sink and taps
  • Wash all bathroom accessories
  • Wash bath mat
  • Clean all mirrors
  • Brush and mop floor

Did you know - The floor is often the dirtiest part of the bathroom with up to a million bacteria per square centimetre!

Once a month

Set a day aside and blitz that bathroom back to perfection!

  • Clean bathroom windows
  • Soak shower head – make a solution of equal parts water and vinegar and soak in a plastic bag. Leave for 15-20 minutes
  • Unclog drain with equal parts baking soda and vinegar for 10 minutes before rinsing
  • Top tap tip: Perfect if you live in a hard water area
  • Cover your taps with a vinegar soaked rag for 30 minutes
  • Scrub with a non-scratch sponge to get rid of deposits
  • Brighter whites with a toothbrush & bleach
  • Clean all tile grout
  • Scrub underneath rim of toilet

Take note...

Here are some important bits to remember to keep your cleaning schedule running smoothly.

Swap that sponge

Old sponges can harbor thousands of bacteria per square inch so remember to replace them regularly

Keep cloths separate

Boil wash any cloths used for cleaning toilets on their own so as not to cross contaminate!

Be an eco-cleaner

Homemade cleaning spray - Make your own natural antibacterial cleaning spray – 240ml distilled white vinegar, 110gms bicarbonate of soda, 2.5ml teaspoon of tea tree oil

Keep mould at bay

Dampness leads to mould. Open a window to keep the room ventilated

Now you can lie back and have a well-earned bath in your gleaming tub… just remember to clean up afterwards!
