Cleaning the bathroom...?

Question

This is a serious question, and not someone screwing around, so bear with me. :)

How in the hell do you clean the bathroom, other than hosing it down, without leaving hairs (long, straight, short, curly, etc.) all over the place? You clean the sink, and the rag you use transports the hair folicle to the shower wall. You clean the toilet, next thing you know, there is a hair on a part of the wall that you have never rubbed against. I have tried rinsing the rag frequently, but other than rinsing it every wipe, I am at a loss! :)

I'm a guy who generally attacks cleaning the bathroom like a bull running into a china shop. The term "long hair" is relative to the short ones. I have no products to speak of and the deposition of hair can be attributed to male pattern baldness. My problem must be testicular, as no guys have answered so far. :)

Answer 1

I have owned and operated a cleaning business for 19 years.When the bathroom is dry,go in with a vacuum.Use the hose attachment,or if you have a dust buster,that would work.Put on all the lights,and vacuum every hair you see.Don't stop until you see no more hair.Then,go in with one wet rag and one dry one.A great product and very easy to use is "Greased Lightning"It will remove almost anything including soap scum.Just spray lightly,and wipe everything down.You will be in and out of the bathroom in minutes.

Answer 2

:O I can't believe I read vacuum everything, does that include the plug holes, if so you can say good bye to the vacuum cleaner as you'll most likely blow the motor with sucking up water out of the drain. As for the toilet, I suggest you use toilet duck or any toilet cleaner product and squirt under the rim as well, use an old toothbush and brush under there, use mirror to make sure you have brushed all the yuck from there and also wipe down the outside and behind the toilet including the wall as men tend to splash when they start to pee. ALWAYS use a separate cloth for the toilet. It is a good idea to put some disinfectant or bleach to soak the brush in to kill any bugs that may be on the brush.

Answer 3

I agree with vacuuming or at least sweep with a broom before you start spray and wipe cleaning.

It is probably from styling hair, shaving, and hairbrushes. Keep all those cleaned up as you use them. So sweep quick after you do your hair, and clean out your hairbrush, rinse the tub after shaving.

Wear your hair in a ponytail if you think it is YOUR hair sprinkling all your fine work.

Get as much hair as you can swept/sucked up before you start anything else.

An exception is if you have matted hair stuck somewhere with hair products, or just that one place has more hair than another. In the sink, on the floor. In this case, start there, get all the hair up, toss it, then go about the rest of your tasks.

Answer 4

I work from the top down. Dusting the counters then I vacuum the floor before I begin any "wet" cleaning since there is usually hair and dust on the floor. This helps get rid of those pesky hairs that get stuck in the rag and on your fingers! If that doesn't help, try using heavy duty disposable paper towels or cleaning cloths. Good Luck!

Answer 5

I use Scrubbing Bubbles, it is awesome. And PAPER TOWELS. That way, when it gets nasty or hairy I can just toss it. Then for the tub I use a cloth, just because I have the faucet in the tub running and I can rinse often.

I do the mirror first with glass cleaner. Then the sink and counters with Scrubbing Bubbles. Then do the outside of toilet with Scrubbing Bubbles, and inside with toilet bowl cleaner and brush. Finally the tub with more Scrubbing Bubbles. I wind up standing in the tub in my bare feet to clean in there.

Answer 6

Instead of using rag, use paper towels. They can be disposed of when they get oogy. I have long hair & it's the only thing that works for me. Much more sanitary, too, not to be using a rinsed-out rag.

Answer 7

I am in the cleaning business and here is our secret!
We buy this cleaning cloth off the internet. You have to buy in packages of 5 but they are only like $3 bucks a piece. I have ordered them and use them on everything, especially cleaning windows and clean mirrors. They are made out of tiny fibers. They are guaranteed not to scratch and all you do is rinse the cloth under water, wring it out and wipe ANY surface with no streaks or scratch. Use em over and over. I have not thrown one away yet!
I am sold on this ...I encourage you to try it out….hope this helps…Steve

use a swiffer and put ur hair up?? but if u use a swiffer i can pick up hair and change the pad when needed. so that means no more rincing the rag a million times!
