How to keep your bathroom clean in 5 minutes a day
Do you dream of a bathroom that always sparkles? Want to learn how to keep your bathroom clean in 5 minutes a day? It’s easy, I promise! It may sound like a chore to clean your entire bathroom every day, but there are 4 simple steps that can become a daily habit and only take a few minutes.
This is our master bath (we painted it Benjamin Moore Coventry Gray). You could stop by my house almost any time and our bathroom would look pretty much like this – looks clean doesn’t it?
Want to know how I do it?
I’m a stickler for staying on-top of things. Don’t let it become a big mess and not only does it stay looking nice, but takes less time to take care of. I even followed these steps when I worked outside the home.
So here’s what you can do to keep your bathroom clean in just 5 minutes a day.
To be honest, some days it doesn’t even take me that long, and the days that I’m in a HUGE rush, I simply put away everything I used (brush, hair dryer, toothpaste, make-up etc) and wipe the sink and counter off! That alone can be done in just ONE minute and will make a HUGE difference! I promise!!

How to Keep Your Bathroom Clean In 4 Steps
Clear Surfaces: Put everything away – your flat iron, make-up, all hair products, combs/brushes and those pesky bobby pins that seem to appear out of nowhere. Dirty clothes and towels should be off the floor and put in the laundry or hung up. 1 minute
Surface Cleaning: Spray showers with daily cleaner (right after you shower) to prevent soap scum build up. Give the counters and sink a quick wipe down to pick up rogue hairs, powder, and toothpaste.
Next, wipe down the toilet tank, handle, seat, base, and the lip of toilet bowl – in that order. Keep a bottle of all-purpose cleaner under the vanity along with a bin of rags so everything is handy.
Next, swish water around the inside of the bowl with a toilet brush and flush. I also like to keep a container of cleaning wipes under the sink to wipe the floor around the toilet and for quick cleanups at any time. 2 minutes
Clean the Mirror: Keep a designated microfiber cloth under the sink for the mirror. It’s easier to get toothpaste splatter off if it doesn’t sit for days. Just lightly dampen the microfiber cloth and give the mirror a quick wipe.
If the mirror is already clean, use this time to wipe down your sink and bath fixtures and make them shine. I keep this cloth hanging on the vanity door to re-use and toss it in the laundry once a week. 1 minute
Straightening Up: Pull your shower curtain closed so it can air out. Refold towels, make sure the toilet paper is stocked and straight up the items that live on your countertops and in your shower. 1 minute
Tip: Keep the supplies where you use them; shower cleaner in the shower, toilet cleaner near the toilet, the and the all-purpose cleaner below the sink. If its within reach, you will be more inclined to use it.
And there you have it…a clean bathroom in 5 minutes.
Make these steps a daily habit and you will always have a bathroom that’s in good shape.

I used to keep my house spotless and that was when I had 3 kids! I even had a sister-in-law that would say I had floors clean enough to eat off of if said something to her about needing to clean the house! As I got older and remarried my husband would keep telling me that I worried too much about keeping the house clean. Me like a nut starting thinking like him and now it’s hard to get the house cleaned up the way I want it to keep it clean. After looking at this my way of doing things are definitely going to change. We are getting ready to move back into our newly renovated home! The house is empty right now. Things will be put in their proper place, all nice and clean! And it will stay that way! Thank you so much!!
Excellent!
