Essential Bathroom Cleaning Tools

A carpenter or painter wouldn’t think of tackling a project without the right tools, and neither should you. Your goal should be to create a sparkling clean bathroom with minimal time and effort. Having the right supplies for cleaning a bathroom is essential for an effective and efficient job. Here are your tools of the trade to create a bathroom so clean you can feel it!

Rubber Gloves

Bathrooms can get pretty yucky, so protecting your skin from germs and cleaners is essential. Use thick, elbow-length gloves for the most protection.

Toilet Brush 

A toilet brush is a necessity for the proper cleaning of toilets. Choose a sturdy brush that can access the buildup beneath the rim. You can use these tips to tackle toilet bowl stains for a deep clean. 

Grout Brush 

Grout cleaner will only take you so far. To give grout a deep-down clean, you’ll need a grout brush with stiff bristles to remove stubborn buildup.

Scrub Brush

Removing soap scum and other buildup requires elbow grease and a sturdy scrub brush. Choose a brush with stiff bristles that is easy to hang on to while you’re scrubbing away.

Microfiber Cloths

Microfiber cleaning cloths are one of our favorite cleaning supplies for bathrooms, kitchens, and every other room in the house. They scrub, shine, and polish so many surfaces, from mirrors to walls.

Vacuum 

A vacuum with attachments is ideal for picking up hair, dust, and dirt on bathroom floors. You can clear cobwebs, remove dust from the vent, and even vacuum around lights. 

Mop

Your vacuum will handle the dirt and dust, but you’ll need a mop to bring back the shine. Invest in a microfiber mop with washable mop heads designed to get into corners. 

To streamline your bathroom cleaning, keep your tools in a tote beneath the sink for convenience.You save time and energy when you have everything you need in the bathroom.
