Cleanliness: Bathrooms

IN THE BATHROOM 
Because we are not meat eaters, instead of harsh chemicals for killing germs, hot water and antibacterial dish soap should be sufficient if the bathroom is cleaned every day. For a finishing touch, I might add something like Nimyle Neem detergent to my final rinse. It contains an alcohol base, but i consider it a lot less dangerous to work with than bleach and other chemical detergents.

The best time for me to clean a bathroom, I've discovered, is right before I take my morning bath. It only takes five minutes if done regularly. Other times, extra effort (such as dusting or washing walls) may be needed some other time of day.

THE BIGGEST BATTLE 
How to keep the scum off? Scum has been my biggest bathroom battle. One suggestion is to spray the shower stall and floor generously with a mixture of water and dish soap each night before bed and scrub each morning before bathing. Done regularly, the surface gets and stays clean. For quicker relief, make a strong solution of water and citric acid to spread over the area that needs cleaning. Citric acid is an ingredient in shower scum removers and works amazingly well. You may want to use gloves though, if you have sensitive skin, or be careful to rinse your hands immediately after using. If you choose to use a spray bottle rather than apply directly, cover your nose so not to inhale any mist.

THE SINK
Wash well and rinse with very hot water. Drying with a towel afterwards helps keep the fixtures shiny.THE TOILET
Here's my method: First, fill and pour (with the top cut off) a milk jug full of water down the toilet or use the toilet brush to push the water down to a lower level. Next, add antibacterial soap full strength. Now, fill another bucket full, this time with very hot water. Slowly pour the hot water into the toilet bowl while swishing with a toilet brush. Use the last bit of water to rinse the toilet brush. 

A good way to store the toilet brush is near the toilet in a clean milk jug with its lid cut off. That way you can replace the container as needed, cost free.

Next, wipe down the entire toilet with hot water, diluted soap and a sponge. A separate sponge should be kept for cleaning the toilet only.

The advantage of an Indian bathroom is a drain in the floor near the toilet. That way hot water can be poured over the entire exterior of the toilet as it runs down to the drain. Excess water can then be assisted toward the drain by a large squeegee to keep the floor dry. 

Ideally, there should be a window in the bathroom to let in fresh air and to keep the bathroom dry.

Wipe the floor and walls as needed.

Do not use bathroom cleaning rags anywhere else in the house and change them regularly.
