Step 1: Declutter the Bathroom

• Begin by removing everything from surfaces such as countertops, shelves, and the shower.
• Sort items into three categories: Keep, Toss, and Donate.
• Clean out expired products and declutter items you no longer use.

• Apply toilet cleaner around the inner rim and let it sit for a few minutes.
• Scrub with the toilet brush, ensuring to reach under the rim.
• Flush to rinse the cleaner away.
• Wipe the outer surfaces with an all-purpose cleaner.

Step 3: Tackle Tiles and Grout

• Use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar as a natural cleaner.
• Apply the mixture directly to tiles and grout, letting it sit for 10-15 minutes.
• Scrub with a brush to remove stains and buildup.
