Spring is the perfect time to freshen up your home, and what better place to start off than with one of the most important rooms in the home, the bathroom!
With the UK getting a glimpse of some fine weather right now, and with hopefully lots more of it to come, it's time to shake off the winter blues and get your space clean and organised. 
Here at the Bathroom Showroom, we offer some quick and easy spring cleaning tips to help you transform your bathroom into a sparkling oasis.

Quick Bathroom Cleaning Tasks (5-10 minutes each):

  • Declutter Countertops: Remove everything from your countertops. Discard any empty bottles or items you no longer use. Wipe down the surfaces with an all-purpose cleaner. Only put back the essentials.
  • Focus on High-Touch Areas: Pay special attention to other high-touch areas in your bathroom as well as countertops, such as doorknobs and light switches. These areas tend to harbour germs and bacteria, so a quick spray and wipe will help keep your space hygienic.
  • Clean the Mirror: Spray glass cleaner on the mirror and wipe it down with a clean microfiber cloth for a streak-free shine.
  • Wipe Down the Basin: Use a gentle all-purpose cleaner to wipe down the taps, handles, and basin. Pay attention to any buildup around the base of the taps.
  • Toilet Touch-Up: Squirt toilet bowl cleaner inside the rim. Let it sit while you do other tasks, then scrub with a toilet brush and flush. Wipe down the exterior of the toilet (lid, seat, handle) with a disinfectant wipe or all-purpose cleaner.
  • Quick Shower/Tub Scrub: Spray a shower cleaner inside the shower or bath. Let it sit for a few minutes, then quickly gently scrub away any soap scum or mildew with a sponge or brush. Rinse thoroughly.

Slightly More Involved Bathroom Cleaning Tasks (10-20 minutes each):

  • Clean Shower Door/Curtain: Glass Doors: Use a glass cleaner and wipe down. For tougher spots, try a paste of baking soda and water. Rinse well. Shower Curtains: Wipe down with a damp cloth and all-purpose cleaner.
  • Wipe Down Bathroom Accessories: Clean toothbrush holders, soap dishes, lotion bottles, and any other items on your countertops or shelves.
  • Organize Your Vanity: Take some time to reorganise your vanity and cabinets. Use drawer dividers, baskets, and trays to keep your products organised and easily accessible. Consider donating or disposing of any items you no longer use.
  • Dust Light Fixtures and Vents: Use a duster or vacuum attachment to remove dust and cobwebs from light fixtures and ventilation fans.
  • Spot Clean Walls and Baseboards: Wipe down any noticeable marks or splashes on the walls and baseboards with a damp cloth and all-purpose cleaner.
  • Shake Out or Wash Bath Mats: Take bath mats outside to shake out dust and dirt. If washable, throw them in the washing machine.
  • Wash Linens and Towels: Don't forget to wash your shower curtain, bath mat, and bathroom towels. Use hot water and a gentle detergent to remove dirt and bacteria. Hang them to dry in the sun for a fresh and clean scent.

Helpful Tips for Making Cleaning Your Bathroom Even Easier

Invest in Good Cleaning Supplies: Make sure you have all the necessary cleaning supplies on hand before you start. A good all-purpose cleaner, disinfectant wipes, microfiber cloths, and a scrub brush are essentials for a thorough clean.
Work Top to Bottom: Start cleaning from the highest surfaces (light fixtures) and work your way down to the floor to avoid re-cleaning.
Use the Right Tools: Microfiber cloths are excellent for cleaning and polishing without leaving streaks. A good scrub brush and sponge are essential for tackling grime.
Ventilate: Open a window or turn on the exhaust fan while cleaning to help air out the bathroom and dry surfaces faster.
Don't Forget the Details: Pay attention to often-overlooked areas like around the toilet base, behind the taps, and the edges of the shower.
Little and Often: Incorporate some of these quick tasks into your regular cleaning routine to prevent bigger build-up for your spring clean.
