In one of our last articles, we covered some general tips on how to clean like a pro. Now we will get more specific with one of the most common areas of your home—the bathroom. Spring is the perfect time to refresh your home, and the bathroom is one of the most important rooms to deep clean. Over time, grime, soap scum, and mildew can build up, making your bathroom feel less than fresh. A thorough spring cleaning not only makes it sparkle but also helps maintain a hygienic environment. Here are some tips to help you deep clean your bathroom from top to bottom.

Declutter and Organize

Before scrubbing, start by decluttering:

• ✅ Clear countertops and cabinets – Remove all toiletries, expired products, and unnecessary items.
• ✅ Check your medicine cabinet – Safely dispose of expired medications and organize what remains.
• ✅ Sort towels and linens – Donate or repurpose old towels and replace them if needed.

Once everything is sorted, neatly organize your essentials back into drawers and cabinets.

Tackle the Shower and Tub

Showers and tubs collect soap scum, mold, and grime, so they need extra attention:

• 🛁 Spray a heavy-duty cleaner on tiles, grout, and glass doors. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes before scrubbing.
• 🧽 Use a grout brush or old toothbrush to remove buildup from grout lines.
• 🚿 Clean the showerhead – Soak it in vinegar to dissolve mineral deposits.
• 🪟 Wipe down glass doors with a vinegar and water solution to remove streaks.
• 🛀 Rinse everything thoroughly and dry with a microfiber cloth for a streak-free finish.

Scrub the Sink and Countertops

Bathroom sinks collect toothpaste splatters and water stains. Here’s how to get them spotless:

• ✔ Use an all-purpose cleaner or a baking soda paste to scrub the sink and faucet.
• ✔ Clean the drain by pouring baking soda and vinegar, followed by hot water to break up residue.
• ✔ Wipe down countertops with a disinfecting spray to remove bacteria.
• ✔ Polish mirrors using a streak-free glass cleaner.

Deep Clean the Toilet

A clean toilet is essential for a fresh bathroom:

• 🚽 Apply toilet cleaner inside the bowl and let it sit for a few minutes.
• 🧼 Scrub thoroughly with a toilet brush, especially under the rim.
• 🧽 Disinfect the seat, lid, and flush handle with antibacterial wipes or a spray.
• 🧹 Clean behind and around the base to remove dust and grime.

Wash Floors and Baseboards

The bathroom floor collects dust, hair, and moisture, so don’t skip this step:

• ✅ Sweep or vacuum to remove debris.
• ✅ Mop with a disinfectant solution to kill germs.
• ✅ Scrub baseboards with a damp cloth or magic eraser to remove scuffs.

Freshen Up the Air and Textiles

For a final touch, refresh the air and soft surfaces:

• 🌬 Wash shower curtains and bath mats in hot water to remove mildew.
• 🧺 Launder towels with vinegar to eliminate musty odors.
• 🕯 Use air fresheners or essential oils to maintain a clean scent.
• 🌿 Add a small plant like aloe vera to improve air quality and decor.
