With 5 bathrooms to clean now (which include 7 sinks, yikes!) I've decided to get my cleaning supplies a bit more organized.
Now I have all of my bathroom cleaning supplies in one bucket so I can just pick it up on the day I have assigned to clean bathrooms and do my rounds.
I have my bucket clearly labeled so no one decides to dump it and use it for another purpose. I also put a laminated "Bathroom Cleaning Checklist" so if anyone else is assigned bathrooms they will know exactly what needs done.
See below for what I am keeping in my bathroom bucket.
First, toilet bowl cleaner and a brush. I used to have a brush by every toilet but then I decided that was just gross. I never got around to disinfecting them all, the bathroom harbors so many germs and I had to move it to sweep and mop around anyhow. So that is the reason I now use one, I can bleach the one when I finish cleaning all of the bathrooms.
Next is my shower and tub cleaner, sponge and expandable scrubbing tool.
Followed by Windex and a squeegee. I have tried many glass cleaners and have never found one I like as well as Windex. And since I use Windex on the facets I like this multi-surface antibacterial Windex best for the bathrooms.
Usually the boys empty all of the trashes in the house but I do keep a baggie of trash bags in case I need to collect trash from the bathrooms (no reason to make multiple trips out with the trash cans I just dump it in a bag and continue filling up the bag). I included rubber gloves in the bucket as well because you will never see me cleaning without them on!
And the last thing I made to keep in the ziplock bag are some reminders to leave behind in the boys bathrooms that I wrote on index cards. Here are examples of the ones I will be using this week.
So there you have it, my bucket of bathroom supplies.
I sweep and mop the bathroom floors every other time I clean the bathrooms (unless they look like they need it!). So if i need to mop I grab my MOP BUCKET.
In my mop bucket I have an all purpose cleaning solution that I use and my mop. I fill this bucket up with hot water and make the rounds after the bathrooms are clean. Since I actually use the bucket I don't keep anything else in it.
What kind of system do you have for cleaning your bathrooms?

Great Idea! I have three bathrooms and each one has it's own cleaning supplies, etc. Takes up a lot of room!

Amy,
I won't even go there except to say that I am doing a lot better job than I used to but I do want to say that I found your notes to the boys just hilarious! I grew up with four brothers and know well what you are speaking of!!!
Hugs and smiles,
Suz
Where did you find your shower/tub expandable scrubbing tool? I've been to Walmart, Lowes and our grocery looking for one. What brand is it? Does it have disposable scrubbers?
Good system!

Hi Amy, I love organizing! It gives me a huge sense of accomplishment and when everything is organized I feel better! Hence my blog name--I am trying to resist the urge to get everything finished before I have fun. I have 5 full and 3 half baths, and try to keep a full set of supplies in the undersink cabinet in hopes that everyone will tend to his or her own bath. While some spritzing does happen, I am usually doing the big stuff! Have a great day. Linda
Love your organizational ideas. Love you little notes as well. So cute and funny!
I keep cleaning supplies in each bathroom tucked out of the way and also those lysol wipes or colorox wipes for just a quick wipe
I always use something that has colorox in it
I am a pine sol, lysol and clorox fanatic
I am the cleaner my sister once told me you could never have someone clean your house as no one would clean like you would want !!
Oh, that's a very good way to clean your bathroom! It's very effective. Organization is the key if you want to get some cleaning done quickly and thoroughly.
