help, please!

Answer 1

You can mop your bathroom floor with Dawn dishwashing soap and Clorox bleach in hot water, and finish it up with a hot water and bleach rinse. You won't need to dry this final application. Let it air dry--it will disinfect your bathroom floor. A sponge mop with wringer works best. For your bathtub and sink, use Comet cleanser in the can. Wet your tub and sprinkle it in. Then wet your sink and sprinkle it in. With a clean rag that has been dampened, use elbow grease and rub! When the sink is clean go to the tub. Re-dampen the cloth and use elbow grease (physical power) to scrub it clean and rinse well. Your bathroom will look great.

I start by scrubbing the toilet with borax- this I do every day or two then swipe the seat and rim with a clorox wipe- not environmentally friendly, but there are 4 men in my house! Sink can be scrubbed with borax and a scrubby sponge For the tub, keep an extra toilet brush to scrub it with, works well without being backbreaking. Baking soda works just as well as borax. Simple green for the floor, windows and mirror. 15 min at a time! Fresh flowers and a candle go a long way toward improving the vibe of a bathroom! Good luck.

To properly clean the bathroom area you want to start at the highest point and work your way down to the floor... So, I would fill the tub with very hot water and pour about a cup or so of bleach in the water.. I also use a 50/50 spray bottle with bleach/water and spray the tile surround as well.. Let that sit, to avoid the mixing of bleach/amonia I use vinegar/water on the mirror and counter top.. I also put about 1/2 c. bleach in the toilet... Let that sit for 10-30 min... When you return wipe the mirror/counter top and swish the bleach water around the toilet and wipe the outside of the toilet down as well.. Don't forget under the seat/toilet lid.... Sweep the floor and drain the tub.. Hopefully, the tub wasn't that dirty and all you have to do is wipe down the tub and rinse... Sweep and mop the floor...That's all there is ..... *Good luck

You can use Mr Clean for the floor (You have to add water to it though in a bucket either with a rag or a mop) Get a Lysol sray with soap scum remover in it to clean tub and sink. For the tub, let the Lysol sit for a couple of minutes, scrubbing bubbles is actually really good too because it doesn't run down the shower wall right after you spray it and sometimes that can leave streaks of clean and it looks wierd.

Answer 7

For the tub and sink use some scouring powder and a sponge that is not too abrasive to avoid scratching. For the toilet you could also use scouring powder to get the yucky stuff off, flush then pour a lil bleach in to disenfect. (you never want to mix chemicals) As far as the floor sweep good then use a swiffer wet to shine it up. Good luck Im sure you'll go a great job!

Use hot water with a cup of bleach in it or clorox spray - just make sure to wear old clothes unless you like pinkish white spots all over your clothes :-).
