1. Use a disposable duster to clean bathroom lights and fans.
2. Remove dust from the shower rod or the top of the lid and towel rail.
3. Clean window sills, door sills and trim, and baseboards.
4. Clean the top of the toilet tank, shelves and countertops.
5. Sweep or vacuum the floor to remove hair and adhering dirt.
   

Let the cleaning product do the work
You don’t need to scrub too much if you let the cleaning product do its job first. Cleaning products need time to work before you start scrubbing.

2. Next, to clean the bathroom is to add toilet cleaner to the toilet bowl.
   

Clean every bathroom surface

2. Use glass cleaner and a lint-free microfiber cleaner to clean the mirror.
   
3. After that, go back to cleaning the shower or tub, then scrub the walls, floor/tub, and plumbing fixtures. Then, rinse everything clean. Don’t forget to clean the shower glass cover. Use a squeegee or a towel to dry it completely so that there are no water spots. Replace any shower products you removed before you cleaned the area.
   
4. Now, scrub the toilet. Use a brush and scrub the bowl and under the rim of the bowl. Use disinfectant wipes to clean the handle, seat, and outside of the toilet.

Scrub the bathroom floor
Use a suitable floor cleaner to clean your bathroom floor (wood, ceramic and natural stone) and mop the floor. After that, let the cleaner dry, then replace trash cans, towels, and freshly washed bathroom rugs.
