how to you routinely clean bathroom floor?
I"m wondering how others quickly clean the bathroom floor- dust-wise (not necessarily mopping), especially around the toilet. It gets so dusty in the corners and around the sides and back of the toilet (both toilets have walls of some sort only about a foot away on each side). I'm not much of a sweeper with a broom. I've always hated sweeping. I think because I hate bending over with the dustpan and it never gets all the dirt into the dustpan anyway. Also a method that would be easy for the kids (6 and 9). For now I end up bending over the toilet and wiping the floor with a wipe/cloth. The vacuum works, but hard to get it in and out of the bathroom (canister- narrowish bathroom).
I know it's a weird question... but just wondering how everyone else does it...

Re: how to you routinely clean bathroom floor?
I spritz the toilet with cleaner and wipe it with a dry rag. I then do the floor. Paper towel would be easier, but rags are cheaper.

Re: how to you routinely clean bathroom floor?
I keep wipes, spray cleaner and paper towels on the back of the toilet. That way I don't forget. I have to clean my toilet daily. I tried keeping stuff under the sink but I forget. Baby wipes are another good choice in the bathroom. But, I find people will wipe and flush them if I do that.

Re: how to you routinely clean bathroom floor?
I use disinfecting wipes on toilets and sinks and also on the baseboards and floor.

Re: how to you routinely clean bathroom floor?
I never thought of using baby wipes! That would be cheaper than always using disinfecting wipes.
When I see the dusty yucky stuff I'll take a small wad of toilet paper and do a quick wipe around the edge where the baseboard and floor meet. I know what you mean, our toilets are in a little alcove too, annoying to clean around!

Re: how to you routinely clean bathroom floor?
I have a designated container and brush. I mix soap and water and splash it around and scrub it with the brush. Then I toss some of the towels on the floor that are waiting around to be washed and sort of.... skate around on them until the floor is dry.... yes really!

Re: how to you routinely clean bathroom floor?
Yup,pretty much the same here. Except I use a generic bathroom spray instead of soapy water. Skating around on the towels we use to step on when we out of the shower....that's cleaning the floor. |

Re: how to you routinely clean bathroom floor?
Vacuum the cat litter
And then use a Clorox-type wipe. I'm bad about actually CLEANING the entire floor because it requires a full removal of the litter box
