Recently we filmed a video called "5 Steps to a Cleaner Bedroom,"
-
and that one did pretty well. So it got me thinking,
-
"Where else could we do a five steps to a cleaner you know what?"
-
And I thought, you know, a bathroom is a pretty good place to start.
-
Regardless of how messy or clean your bathroom is, here are five steps
-
you can take to get a cleaner bathroom. Let's go.
-
The first step you can take to getting a cleaner bathroom
-
is to have a little bathroom cleaning kit right there in your bathroom.
-
A couple of reasons why. First of all, if you have it
-
right there, you're going to be a lot more likely to actually
-
use it instead of having to run somewhere else and get it
-
and then bring it to the bathroom. What a hassle!
-
So if you have this little kit here, obviously you're more likely to use it.
-
It's really important to maintain your sink and keep it clean
-
pretty much at all times. It's quite simple to do.
-
Take your microfiber cloth and a little bit of all-purpose cleaner,
-
spritz your sink down, give it a quick wipe.
-
Do the same thing with your faucet. That way it will look nice and shiny.
-
And then every time you walk into the bathroom, you're not
-
seeing hair and toothpaste splatters in the sink.
-
You're seeing something nice and clean, and you feel like
-
you just want to use it. And while we're on the topic
-
of bathroom sinks, let's talk about that little area under the
-
bathroom sink, which can get pretty out of control if you
-
don't pay close attention to it. I know before I started all of this,
-
mine was a total catchall for shampoo I wasn't using anymore,
-
free samples, all kinds of other stuff. Like, who even knew what was in there?
-
So it's really important to go in, clean it out,
-
get rid of anything you're not using. Find a good organization system
-
where you can store all of your necessities and, of course,
-
make a little space in there for your cleaning kit.
-
That way it's sane, it's organized, and you don't feel overwhelmed by it.
-
The last time I checked showers don't come preinstalled
-
with shelves and for good reason. You don't need too much stuff in here.
-
Do an evaluation of how many bottles and products and items
-
you have in your shower. And if your shower seems to be
-
completely overrun with them, you need to slim things down.
-
Marry bottles with products that are almost empty.
-
Toss stuff that you're not going to use. Get rid of any duplicates.
-
The idea is you want to keep the area surrounding your shower clean and clear,
-
because if you don't, that's where mold and mildew starts to build up.
-
And not only that, like it just gets overwhelming
-
to have that many bottles in your shower.
-
So the key point here, get rid of extra stuff.
-
Get it out of your shower. Another thing you can do that's pretty
-
high impact, although we don't seem to think about it all that often, is to
-
launder your shower curtain, your shower curtain liner, your bathmat, which tends
-
to get very unattractive after a while, and your bathroom rug.
-
Those can all go into the washing machine.
-
You can do them separately, or you can do them together
-
depending on the size of your washing machine and what it can handle.
-
Use a gentle cycle, regular detergent.
-
Throw a towel in there to help scrub everything clean.
-
and hang everything to dry. Nothing goes in the dryer.
-
The reason you want to clean that is to remove any moisture buildup
-
that would have led to mold or mildew as well as bacteria, which can lead
-
to odors in your bathroom, and nobody likes that.
-
So once all of this is clean, it will really refresh your bathroom.
-
It will make you feel a lot better in there as well.
-
Those five simple steps should get you on your way to a cleaner bathroom,
-
again no matter how clean or messy it was to start.
-

-
