How often should you give your bathroom a deep cleaning?

Question

I'm pregnant and going through that nesting phase already, I'm so concerned about everything being dirty all the time, I know you should always keep your bathroom straightened up, but how often do you think you should give it a deep cleaning? I've been doing once a week, but it seems to get really gross by the time the week is up.

Answer 1

Depends on how many people are using the bathroom and how often.  I would say for 2 adults using it for all their morning and evening cleanups a wipe down would be required twice a week.  A good deep cleaning every 2 weeks.  Once the baby is using the tub I would clean the tub daily.

Answer 2

Me too! I deep clean my bathroom once a week.  I try to touch up every couple of days or so. I like to use Clorox wipes for a quick cleaning. When I was pregnant I used a Mr. Clean magic reach bath wand. Those things are great! There's nothing worse than being on your hands and knees scrubbing while pregnant, ESPECIALLY when you hit that third trimester.  It's a five in one tool. You can use it on your showers, tubs, sinks, counters, and floors. And it's quick and easy! Also helpful once the baby was born, I found I had even more to clean and less time to do it in.  Congrats mama

Answer 3

My nesting never went away so I know how you feel and my son is 3 months now. I clean everything like crazy but the bathrooms I clean once a week a good full cleaning and that seems to hold throughout the week....hope your nesting calms down..

Answer 4

~~I do ours every week, even though I hate every second of it!! When it's done, I do so enjoy it the clean and sparkle so it's what drives me. If you do it every week, it saves you so much work cause it's easy as nothing has time to build up. Try getting "Bath Clean" you can order it through www.drugstore.com, it's a non-toxic grout cleaner that is awesome, no need for gloves or gas mask. Great and safe for baby. Remember, clean is nice but some regular household germs are good for baby's immune system. Good luck with your bundle of joy!~~

Answer 5

I would give the bathroom a really good deep cleaning once a week

And do daily cleanup throughout the week

Such as using an after shower spray, so not as much dirt builds up

And buying some disenfecting wipes(lysol, clorox, mr. clean) and wiping down the countertops, sinks, and around the toilet about 2-3 times a week

that way It won't be as much to clean each week

Answer 6

Doing it once a week is fine, if your not happy with it do it a couple of times a week, but the more you do it, the more money it costs on disinfectants etc, but try not to worry it can't get that dirty within a week surely :)

I always keep a flat scrubber with handle(any dollar type store)and add soap to it,scrub tub and tiles,rinse.Stand out of the tub,dont want you to slip!Floor every 3 days and toilet must be wiped(outside)every 2-3 days.Men miss that big ol hole no matter how nice they are.The rest I clean weekly.Bathroom always looks and smells nice.Not nuerotic,just stay on top of things as I work 6 days a week.I clean kitchen/sink/handles/counters with windex daily.I also damp mop every other day and when I clean clean its very easy.
