I'm talking about scrubbing my bathtub, toilet, shower curtain, counter-top, and floor. The materials I have to work with are: bleach, Comet, and Pine-sol.

  1. ive been in the cleaning business for over 10 years.  Comet for bathtub,use sponges and gloves, pine sol for toilet unless it has really bad stains i would use sno bowl,  shower curtain put in washer on delicate unless its really bad..buy a new one, comet on countertop and sink, pinesol on floor.


  2. sprinkle the comet in the bathtub and let it sit and scrub it out with a scratch pad i did that the other day to mine and it came out really white.wash everything else down with bleach make sure u have a fan or make sure some windows are open. mop your floor with bleach too. pick up every thing off the floor put it where it needs to be, then clean off your bathroom sink and wipe it down with bleach or what ever u want to use. and then to the toilet scrub it down . and then do your bathtub and make sure u do the floor last.

  3. I find that warm water and bleach do most jobs.I clean the wc and the sink with bleach.I have a glass shower door,but a curtain taken down and washed in hot water is ok.The floor I use bleach on as well.It keeps insects off and out of bathroom.

  4. Remove all towels and toss in the wash!  Sweep/vacuum floor!

    Pour 1-2 cups of bleach in the toilet and let it sit!  Wet down the bathtub and sprinkle COMET on the surface.  Work into a paste and rub gently covering the entire tub.  Leave on 5-10 minutes..  

    Use the rag/sponge you wiped down the tub with and wipe down the sink/fixtures...

    Then lastly wipe down the toilet INSIDE/OUTSIDE!  Then work your way around the batrhoom and use the toilet brush to swish the toilet/flush- and use a clean rag to wipe down the outside... Get yourself a clean bucket of water and use a fresh rag to clean rinse the sink, tub and lastly the toilet...

    Rinse out bucket or use clean water to mop floor(s).  Add 1/2 cup of Pine-sol to bucket and mop.  Rinse mop throughly/often... Rinse with a bucket of clean water....

    Replace towels, toilet paper etc....

  5. I use a product called "The Works". It is very good. I tried several products before but always ended up in having soap scums. But this one is very good. All I do is just pour a little bit of that in my sink, bath tub etc. And after 15 minutes, i will just clean it with brush. My entire sink glitters like new.

    They also have toilet cleaner in the same brand. You don't need to do wipe hard or anything. That product does everything for u.

    You can get it in Walmart, Dollar Shop etc.

    Good luck!

  6. effectively.

    1) counter - clear the counter top of all the goodies.  then wipe down the counter.  you could use diluted pine sol.  i always use a microfiber towel. it scrubs well, and it is easy to squeeze and rinse.

    2) sink - scrub the sink.  pine sol would work.  use the microfiber towel to scrub the rim of the sink, the faucet, and the surrounding.  

    ** now you have a clean counter top and clean sink,

    3) wipe / clean the goodies (toothbrush holder etc) that were on your counter top.  put away items that are not used on a regular basis.  only put what you use daily back on the counter.  

    4) toilet.  

    inside - pour some bleach or other toilet cleaner into the toilet bowl, let the chemical do its work while you clean the outside of the toilet.

    outside - moisten paper towel with diluted pine sol or bleach, wipe the top of the toilet, then the base, towards the middle.  - key is to clean the least dirty area first, then proceed to the dirtiest area. that way you wouldn't be using a dirty towel to clean the less dirty part.  toss paper towel, and repeat as needed until it is cleaned to your satisfaction.  

    inside - now, use a toilet brush to brush the inside of the toilet.  it should be effortless because the bleach should have loosen up the stains/ dirt.  Flush when you are done, check if it is good enough. brush again if not so.

    *** now you have a clean toilet.

    5) Floor - use a paper towel to pick up hair or other dirt on the floor.  then use diluted pine sol with with microfiber towel to clean the floor.  microfiber scrubs well.  do it once with pine sol, rinse the towel, then wipe the floor again with a clean microfiber towel with just water.

    *** now you have a clean floor.

    6) Shower/ tub.  

    Scrub down the tub using Pine sol.  if you have tough stain, bleach would work better.  pine sol usually dose the trick.  when you are done scrubing, rinse with water.  

    7) yourself - you are probably dirty and sweaty yourself after all these work!  take off your clothes and take a shower, and come out to a clean bathroom!  

  7. I find those steam cleaners work the best in killing the germs in a bathroom that cause odors.

    If you have hard water I recommend limeaway after you clean.

    I use a plastic shower curtain liner so I never have to clean the actual shower curtain.  When the liner gets dirty, chuck it and buy a new one, they're cheap.

  8. Be sure to wear gloves.

    Use the comet in the bathtub.

    Run hot water in the bathroom sink, and pull the stopper  Pour about a half of a cup of bleach in it.  Put on your gloves and clean the countertops first w/ a rag dipped in the bleach water rung out good.  Then scrub the toilet on the outside w/ the rag.  THEN pour bleach in the toilet bowl and scrub it out really well.

    When your all done w/ the scrubbing, dip a mop in the bleach water in the sink to mop the floor with.
