Default Re: how to you routinely clean bathroom floor?

I put the litter box in the bathtub and clean that last.

I unitask in the bathroom. Sweep floor and wipe with a wet utility towel.

Clean toilet and baseboards with Lysol wipes

Clean walls and sink with Lysol wipe.

Declutter.

Basically anything that can be done at once while supervising bath time.

The big sweep and scrub at once comes before guests.

I mist the area with my all-purpose diluted vinegar cleaner, wipe it quickly with toilet paper, and flush it away.

This what I do. I keep either a home made plastic tub with a paper towel roll cut in half in disinfectant. Or a thing of Lysol wipes on the back of the toilet. I wipe down the toilet seat with a disinfected reluctant wipe every other day and he floor and sides of the toilet 1-2 times a week.

yes- I miss bathtime! If I was the one supervising bathtime (and not dh) I would get busy cleaning all around. often just with baby wipes. but it seemed so easy! now both boys are showering.... I'm never just in there looking for something to do.
I do use baby wipes for a lot of the cleaning- esp. around toilet and floor. they are easy. I feel wasteful using them at all but I clean more often if they are there.

Some brooms are better for pushing stuff around. A hand broom is sometimes better for dealing with the dustpan.

Somehow my family called a hand broom a fox tail... Any idea where that comes from?

I figured it's the dustpan that's the problem. ? I actually don't see how any broom or dustpan can get ALL the dust into the dustpan. I've never seen a dustpan with a fine enough edge. Either way, it's a pain to maneuver a broom into the area around the toilet and behind it. too many little corners in our bathroom also for a broom.
