Oh yeah… it’s bathroom day. Do you hear all the excitement in voice? The bathroom is not my favorite place to clean, actually none of them are my favorite, but at least it goes quickly and you get a lot of sparkle for your efforts.

One minute: Shine the sink & mirror
Supplies you’ll need: All-purpose cleaner, newspaper, dryer sheet
Spray your all-purpose cleaner on the mirror, the faucet, and the bowl of the sink. For a streak-free clean, dry the mirror off with crumpled-up newspaper. Use an old dryer sheet to shine the faucet first, then to clean the inside of the bowl. The fibers won’t scratch surfaces but are a great buffing element.

Five minutes: Clean the toilet ( + shine the sink & mirror)
Supplies you’ll need: All-purpose cleaner, toilet paper or microfiber cloth
Spritz APC all over the toilet: the seat, under the seat, the tank, the handle, and especially the bottom where most people forget to clean. Then, use toilet paper to wipe it clean, throw the used paper in the bowl, and flush! (A microfiber cloth works, too, just don’t flush that one!)

Ten minutes: Clean the shower ( + shine the sink & mirror + clean the toilet)
Supplies you’ll need: Vinegar, plastic bag, rubber band
Throw away any old bottles or razors and neatly arrange what’s left. Then, fill a plastic bag with vinegar and use a rubber band or hair tie to secure it around the shower head. The next time someone takes a shower (or at least an hour later), have them take off the bag and wipe down the head to get rid of buildup and stains.

This did not take me 10 minutes because the newspaper and dryer sheet tips did not work. The crumpled newspaper left my hands dirty so I didn’t feel comfortable leaving my mirrors with newsprint grime on them. The dryer sheet just didn’t produce any results. I even got a new one from the laundry room and tried it. I don’t know what dryer sheets the Buzzfeed writer was using but Downy sheets should be used in the dryer. If I hadn’t had to redo work it might have taken me about 15 minutes to complete the bathroom.

How did you do?
