The secret to cleaning bathrooms is having the right products and a little elbow power to get the job done. A sparkling clean bathroom is the first things guests notice when visiting. If the bathroom is has grime buildup and hair on the sink, a guest will be disgusted and not want to come back. There is nothing more relaxing than stepping into a clean and fresh bathroom. Here's the secret to cleaning bathrooms:

First, gather up your cleaning rags, cleaning products, scrubber brushes, toilet brush, broom, and mop. Any old cleaning rag will do fine. Choosing the right cleaning product depends on how much money you want to spend, but liquid soap works just fine. Fill a bucket with hot water and add a little soap to let it bubble up. A scrubber brush is very helpful in the ring in the tub.

Start cleaning the tub. Remove all the shampoos, soaps, and anything else in the bathtub. Dip the cleaning rag in the bucket and begin washing the shower walls. Pay attention to the grout areas by getting rid of excess dirt. If you have shelves, bars, or any shiny areas, pay special attention to them. They collect a lot of soap buildup and hair. Make sure you scrub them clean.

Next, work down to the tub area. Soap up the entire tub with the cleaning rag then use the scrubber brush on the extra dirty areas. Sometimes you can see the ring around the bathtub. If you have a rough tub bottom that keeps you from sliding, this will also develop dirt. Scrub extra hard in these spots and add extra cleaning liquid if needed.

The last thing you'll have to do for your tub, is rinse the shower wall and tub. Move the shampoos, soaps, and bath toys back to the shower.

Pour toilet cleaning solution in toilet bowl and scrub with toilet brush. Scrub all around the bowl and especially at the top rim where the water flows into the toilet. If you look underneath the rim, you can see that a dirty buildup will form. Clean these areas away with your brush.

Next, wipe down the outside of the bowl. Hairspray, hair, and dust can collect on the lid and along the bottom near the floor. Remove this dirt with the cleaning rag. You'll probably need to rinse the rag out a few times.
