Here's a practical order for a weekly bathroom clean. Clear the surfaces, ventilate, put on gloves, and remove dust and hair before wet cleaning. Check each surface maker's care guide. This Earth Choice spray is for compatible glass and glazed tiles. Keep it off stone and sensitive surfaces. Never mix cleaners. For built-up dirt, allow one to five minutes, as the label directs. While it works, clean the mirror with a damp glass cloth, then finish dry. Work down the shower walls and screen. Wipe away residue as directed. For the bath, follow its maker's care guide and use a soft, non-scratch cloth. Clean the basin and vanity with a product suitable for their materials. Wipe chrome with a damp, soft cloth, then dry. Leave the toilet until last, using a dedicated cloth and brush. Apply cleaner under the rim as labelled. This Earth Choice gel recommends ten to fifteen minutes for best results. Clean the outside from top to bottom. After the waiting time, brush the bowl and flush. Mop from the far corner towards the door, stepping back onto dry floor. Replace clean essentials and towels. Between cleans, dry the shower glass and keep the room ventilated. Simply Maid. More room for life.
