Since we're in the BATHROOM ZONE this week, (a zone I have been NEGLECTING)I wanted to re-commit to "SWISH & SWIPE" the bathroom each day!
If you know about FLYLADY, you've probably heard about Swish & Swipe. If you haven't you'll have to check out her site. She has some amazing ideas!The point of the Swish & Swipe is:
If you do a quick wipe-over of your bathrooms each day - Your bathrooms will never really get dirty. There will be no build-up, no toilet ring, and no hard water stains. You will have a sparkling clean bathroom every day without ever really cleaning it.
While your in the bathroom:
- Use a little windex and quickly "swipe" the mirror, counter & sink.
- Next, use a toilet brush with a little soap to "swish" the toilet bowl (one suggestion is to keep disinfecting bathroom cleaner in your toilet brush holder or even shampoo or slivers of old soap?!?) (caution ladies - don't mix cleaners)
- Last, use a disinfecting wipe to "swipe" down the lid, seat and bowl rim of the toilet.
THAT'S IT!Swish & Swipe once a day (and teach those kiddos to help)
AND you'll have a clean bathroom without those marathon cleaning sessions.
Thanks Flylady for that great tip!

This is a tough one. I wipe down the mirror, but the rest vanishes from my mind. I need to work on this. It has been on my lists for years!!!
I love this because it's easy for the kids to do, and the love getting to use those cool wipes!
I'm in! I've been doing this for a week or two and the weekends 'bathroom clean' session is so much quicker and easier as I've maintained it all week!
I have to say, I've tried the cleaner in the toilet brush holder, and the part of the brush that wasn't in the cleaner got really DISGUSTING. It only took like 3 days and there was this gross dark stuff at the base of the brush. Maybe it was just the cleaner I used, but NOT DOING IT AGAIN!
To clean the shower, I like to take a sponge and cleaner into the shower with me when I'm having my morning shower. It seems easier to me that way, to do a bit of scrubbing as long as I'm in there anyway! For countertops, it seems like I clean them more often when there's less stuff. I keep a few things in a basket on top of the counter.
I love that you admit that you "fall of the wagon" So many organizing/cleaning sites seem like perfectionists. But I guess that's FLYing just jump right back in without feeling guilty about yesterday :D
I DO NOT use a toilet brush holder. It makes such a mess and it gets stinky. I use window cleaner for mirrors, counters and outside of tub toilet. For inside the toilet I sprinkle some comet on a rag and wipe down. Then I spray the entire toilet with lysol... the flowery kind. After a few days of doing that my bathroom always smells good. It's just sticking to the routine :( I just decluttered my bathroom yesterday so I think I will start back up.
I'm totally doing this! Keeping up with 3 bathrooms is killing me. This is just what I need.
Thanks!

Frameless Shower doors have evolved like every other design feature in today's bathrooms.
If you're remodeling or building a full bath, chances are you will be tempted by this attractive design choice. Ordering a frameless shower door is a little bit like building an addition!
