One room that you will definitely feel good about cleaning, even if you don't normally enjoy cleaning this room, is the bathroom. For obvious reasons you will want to have the bathroom in the apartment or house that you are renting not just clean but disinfected.

Sink

To clean the sink in the bathroom Ajax or Comet will work great. Luckily all that happens in the sink is people washing their hands and faces and spitting out toothpaste and mouthwash when they brush their teeth. All the same it is nice to make sure that you know that it is really clean.

Counters

You won't have to worry about if any raw meat was prepared on the bathroom counters but it is still a good idea to clean it with the Ajax or Comet that you used on the bathroom sink. Just keep in mind that you don't want to discolor the counter top.

Mirrors

Hopefully when you move the mirror or mirrors in the bathroom will not have streaks, which of course won't mean that a mirror is dirty but it is nice to have a clear mirror, and does not show any signs that it is dirty. A little bit a Windex will ensure that you know that the mirror is clean.

Cabinets

Quickly wiping down, with a bleach and water solution or the Ajax or Comet, the shelves of the cabinets in the bathroom will assure that you will feel completely comfortable filling them up with your belongings.

Drawers

Just like the shelves in the bathroom you will want to wipe down the inside of the drawers in the bathroom with either the Ajax or Comet that you use in your cleaning or with some solution of bleach and water.

Bathtub

You will want the bathtub to be very clean. You can use the Ajax or Comet to clean it. You will want to make sure that you get every inch of the bathtub so if you take a bath you will be able to totally relax because you know that you got it clean.

Shower Tile

Even though you won't touch the shower tile when you are bathing you will still want to clean it with a sponge and either the Ajax or Comet depending on what you decided to use in your house.

Shower Door

Cleaning the shower door can help you enjoy your bathroom because it will look nice and you can enjoy your showers more knowing that you cleaned your shower door.
