- Wipe down the sink each time after brushing your teeth (and mirror if you have small people at home who like to spray their toothpaste all over it - bless 'em!).
- Declutter your counter tops and put things away in a cupboard or drawer. Clutter will always make a room look messy and in need of a bit of TLC.
- Rinse your bath, shower and shower screen after use and wipe or squeegee dry. This will reduce dirt build-up and make your regular clean much faster.
- If you use a shower curtain, wash them regularly to stop mould forming at the bottom. Better still, have two and rotate them - one hanging and one in the wash. You could do the same for your bathmats.
- Keep cleaning products handy in the bathroom for a quick and easy wipe down.
- Make your mirror mist-proof. Wipe a layer of shaving cream or toothpaste over the mirror and wipe clean. This prevents water condensation from sticking to the glass.
- Consider using liquid soap. Bars of soap tend to turn to mush and get stuck all over your taps and sink.
- Always hang up your towel when you've used it (or put it in the laundry basket to be washed). If you leave towels on the floor in a pile (teenagers, we're talking to you!), they will smell musty and won't dry properly.
- Even if your bathroom is super clean, clothes and/or towels on the floor will make it look messy. A great solution for this is to keep a laundry basket in your bathroom.
- Make a habit of turning on the extractor fan as soon as you walk into the bathroom. This will help to stop mould and mildew taking hold, making cleaning much easier.
- Open a window - fresh air always makes a space feel airy and clean.
- When you're vacuuming other areas of the house, quickly go through the bathroom as well. A tiled floor tends to collect dust and hair and has nowhere to hide!
