Company is coming, and that usually means running around like a headless chicken to get everything looking spick and span — including the dread bathroom. But it doesn’t have to be a gargantuan task. If you’re looking for a way to clean quickly, I’m here to help with a simple yet effective routine. A while back, I came up with a way to get my bathroom clean while I get ready in the morning. (It does help speed things up if your bathroom is organized.) And my method can be used at any time throughout the day.
The best thing about this method is that it’s scrub-free and hassle-free — no need to work up a sweat whatsoever to keep your bathroom clean. So, if you’re among the 38% of people who avoid cleaning places like the bathroom because it can be filthy, this may be just what you need.

Gather your bathroom cleaning supplies
What makes this cleaning routine so efficient is that I keep the cleaning supplies in my bathroom, ready to go. Under your bathroom sink or tucked in the linen closet, keep:
- Disinfectant wipes
- Toilet brush
- Scrub-free shower and tub cleaner (I like Scrubbing Bubbles Mega Shower Foam)
- A sponge
- Glass cleaner
- Paper towels
- A mop with disposable cleaning pads (like a Swiffer)
- Rubber gloves (optional)
