The bathrooms. Ugh. I never realized how gross cleaning a bathroom can be until I had kids. Seriously, I have not raised them to believe they live in a barn - but that bathroom? Yikes! Their bathroom gets cleaned daily. And I review the cleaning job daily because, let's face it, my Bathroom Cleaner Child's definition of clean and mine are vastly different. (I clean my own bathroom)
Things we use to clean the bathroom:
Let's start with what is easily the grossest, but most necessary, cleaning job in the bathroom - germ central, the toilet. I want something to clean the toilet that can be disposed of. I have used toilet brushes in the caddies with the Lysol Toilet Bowl Cleaner. I actually have toilet brushes in the bathrooms now - but I don't use them. We use the Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Brush. I have tried both the flushable pads and the "Fresh Pads" (what they call them - these aren't flushable). The flushable pads are okay for an every day little "swish and swipe" in the toilet - but for the most part, they are like trying to scrub the toilet with a wad of toilet paper (which makes sense - they need to be flushable). For cleaning the toilet and getting it really clean, I like the Fresh Pads, which are not flushable. I've also tried the Clorox version of the toilet brush and like it, too. They don't have a flushable version.
Tub, counter and sinks get cleaned with Comet Bathroom Cleaner. I've been using this for years - since long before we moved into our house. Love this stuff. It cuts through soap scum, smells citrusy, really like it. I've tried the Dawn dishwashing detergent and vinegar - but I could smell vinegar for a long time after cleaning the bathroom and I hate that smell. I went back to Comet.
Mirrors get cleaned once a week with Pledge Multi-Surface Wipes. I've tried the Windex Wipes - they're linty!! (that was the most common complaint in our focus group, too). I've tried regular glass cleaner with a paper towel and I always end up using too much glass cleaner.
The floors get swept and then we break out the Shark.
We don't scrub the toilet or "Shark" the floor every day (I'm not that OCD and we aren't home enough). But we do try to make sure it is sanitary in there!
