You won't recognize your bathroom in a week: an old-school cleaning method will help

The bathroom is the one place in the house that needs constant cleaning. But for some reason, some people manage to keep it clean, while others have to spend hours tidying up.

One of the secrets of success in bathroom care may lie in using the right approach to cleaning. OBOZ.UA tells you how to do it with the popular Fly Lady system.

What is Fly Lady?

This system can already be considered an old-school approach. After all, it first appeared in 1999, and its popularity peaked in the second half of the 2000s. The essence of the method is to consistently devote time to cleaning every day, but to allocate a little time for it - usually 15 minutes. As a rule, this is enough for the current decluttering and washing of several small areas.

For example, morning cleaning according to this system may consist of the following steps

• make your bed as soon as you get out of bed;
• go to the shower and tidy up while you wash;
• wipe down the sink while you brush your teeth and wash your face;

• quickly rinse the toilet;
• gather all the things that need to be washed.

There are also weekly and monthly cleaning tasks related to the bathroom, but a daily quick wash of the bathroom will make general cleaning much easier when the time comes.

How to clean the bathroom with the Fly Lady system

To keep your bathroom clean and not spend a lot of time on it, you can make a schedule of small tasks for each day. Here's what you can add to it.

Wipe mirrors regularly

The more often you clean the mirror surfaces in your bathroom, the less time you'll spend on this chore. If you do it once a week, the entire procedure will take no more than 2 minutes.

Wiping the walls

Bathroom walls quickly become stained with water marks. Therefore, wipe them quickly with a dry or slightly damp cloth every day. And don't forget about the shower glass. This should also take 3 to 5 minutes.

Cleaning the toilet

Daily toilet care does not involve aggressive chemicals and their prolonged use. Put a little mild cleaning soap in the bowl, wipe it with a brush, and rinse off the foam. This will be enough to keep it clean and prevent odors.

Constant clutter

Empty bottles and containers can easily accumulate in the bathroom. Dirty towels and used napkins or cotton pads also accumulate here. Every day, collect everything that has served its purpose and throw it away. You won't even notice this work if you make it a habit.

Additional life hack: keep cleaning products in the bathroom

To keep your bathroom clean, you'll need to keep your cleaning supplies within easy reach. Designate a place (out of the reach of children) for all bottles and bottles. And always put everything back after use.
