I do clean the toilets and sinks weekly, but not the tubs and shower stall. Those I need to spend more time cleaning. With Thanksgiving around the corner they will all get a good clean what with having family here over the holiday.

Toilets are weekly.

The tub and showers - monthly or so.

Floors - as needed.

Blessings,

Every other day I'd swish some Comet around in the toilet bowl. My guys don't always flush, so the bowl started looking kind of gross if I didn't keep up with it. Deep cleaning and the tub, maybe once a week unless it was really grungy.

I *hated* the decor in that bathroom. It was '60's and ugly. But the one wonderful thing about it was that all the ugly hid the dirt.

I use a vinegar/water solution to clean everything. I spray and wipe my sink and counter each use. The shower is sprayed and squeegeed each use.
The toilet and floor washed once a week. The walls are washed every 3-4 weeks.

The soap doesn't buildup if you clean as you go.

Status: offline 		When all the boys were home it was cleaned everyday--I made a list of what was to be done and they each took a day--if it was not done correctly they were given the extra day ---now only 2 are home and I now have 2 bathrooms--I do my sink and toilet every day--the boys bath room gets cleaned 2 times a week top to bottom--they each take a day--mine top to bottom once a week--I use those wipes are great for touch ups in between

Status: offline 		EVERY day in our house. My house might not be the cleanest place...you may trip over something in the floor...but my bathrooms are always clean!!! I can't stand it any other way.

I clean it up every time I go into the bathroom for some reason. If there's something on the floor I pick it up and put it away. If the sink needs attention, I do it when I wash my hands. If the toilet needs to be wiped down I do it when I am in there. I wipe down the outside with cleaning wipes at least once a day and I clean the inside with throw away cleaning thingies that hook onto a handle usually every other day...or as needed. It is needed at least every other day around here. The shower/tub are cleaned every time I give the little ones a bath...I wash it with baby soap or shampoo (works great on the soap scum!!), so it's just easiest to clean it out when I am in there with them anyway. I sweep in there once a day usually...unless it needs it more. Usually just once a day though, and I sweep it into the hallway right before I vacuum in there. I don't mop the floor, it's a small room so I just do it by hand with a cloth.

Status: offline 		We wipe the sinks and toilets down daily....I just use vinegar and borax mixed together with water to make a homemade spray. It kills germs and cleans grime :).

we sweep every other day (or as needed if it needs it sooner).

tubs get scrubbed twice a week...baking soda or borax most of the time...once a month use comet or bon ami (due to hard water stains that get into the old porcelain).

I have floor steamer...and I use that at least once a week....

about once a month..I get down on my hands and knees and scrub the floor.


We wipe mirrors after every shower...the steam loosens gunk...and that way they get wiped several times a day.....

Status: offline 		I do mine once/week. i usually do it Sat mornings, when I take a shower. It's just easier to clean teh shower while IN the shower.

Kids bathroom gets done when they feel like doing it or when we have guests. It's only used every other week, so once/month is about how often it gets done. the toilet is usually pretty gross, but otherwise not bad looking.

Status: offline 		We have three bathrooms that are cleaned once a week ... floors, counters, sinks, toilet, mirrors, windowsills, shower/tub. (There's just 2 adults living here, no children.) We don't keep much on the bathroom counter-tops except decorative items, so the counters stay pretty clean. And when my wonderful DH is TDY or deployed, I find far less toothpaste spatters all over the mirror.

We keep the bathroom picked up as we go, and I do a complete cleaning once a week - everything out, clean it all and then everything back in. Only takes about 30-45 minutes start to finish so it's not too bad.

Status: offline 		Ok, I feel better about what I do. I made up a container that has a cut up towel in it with a solution of tea tree oil, borax, vinegar and I think castille soap in it, but not sure on that one. I wipe that whereever it needs to be wiped. I usually try to clean the tub every other week, along with the floor. The part that gets dirtiest the fastest and that bothers me the most is the counter. Oh it gets so nasty!! We seem to have lots of dust around here, so it's not that it's like gross stuff, it's just that the counter is white so you can see any dust that lands there. Grrrr. But I usually clean the toilet, counter and mirror once a week, touch ups as necessary.
