No one wants to spend an entire day disinfecting bathrooms and mopping floors. Cleaning experts share how they get the job done both quickly and thoroughly.
If you have more than one, Buchanan advises starting with the primary because it is often the largest and therefore feels the most daunting.
First, spray every hard, non-glass surface — countertop, toilet, tub, sink — with an all-purpose bathroom cleaner suited to eradicating mold, mildew and germs. Let the cleaner sit for at least a few minutes to work correctly. Empty the trash as you wait. When the time comes, wipe the cleaner off those hard surfaces with a wet microfiber cloth, then dry with a fresh cloth so that everything is shiny and streak-free.
Buchanan uses her wet Magic Erasers for scrubbing showers, tubs and tile. Save mirrors and glass shower doors for last, spraying those with Windex , or white vinegar diluted with water. Amaro suggests “turning off any lights directly above the mirror, because the heat of the lightbulb can evaporate your cleaning solution and cause streaks.”Start by vacuuming. Bronner and Buchanan say an adjustable vacuum is key — that way it’ll work just as well in your carpeted bedroom as your hardwood hallway.
Once the floors are sufficiently vacuumed, it’s time to mop. Bronner notes your flooring type will dictate what sort of mop you’ll need. If you have tile, you’ll need a string mop that can get into those hard-to-reach grout lines, not just push dirt deeper into them. For hardwood, you’ll need a flat-head mop. Save the bathroom floors for last because they’re almost certainly the germiest, says Buchanan, and you don’t want to track that grossness around the rest of your house.
