around the tub yet, because if there's any mold left you will
spray it with bleach in a few minutes. But now is the time to
wipe the chrome dry and shiny in the tub/shower area.
The Sink—Inside
Reach into the sink where you set your tile brush and white pad.
Rinse the tile brush and put it in your carryall tray. Wet the
bowl of the sink. Since the white pad is still full of cleanser from
the tub, use it as is to clean the sink. Be careful to keep the
cleanser only inside the bowl of the sink, since it is difficult to rinse
away. Never let cleanser get onto an area that is hard to rinse . . .
especially the top ledge of the sink around the faucets.
When the sink is clean, rinse out your white pad in the sink and
put it back in your apron pocket. Rinse out the sink. You haven't
touched the sink rim or faucet yet because you will do that on
the second trip around the room. Grab the toilet brush and
cleanser from your tray.
The Toilet—Inside
Apply cleanser in and around the sides of the toilet bowl. Wet
the toilet brush by dipping it in the toilet and apply additional
cleanser on it. Start high in the bowl, on the inside upper rim.
Move the brush in a circular motion and clean as deep into the
bowl as you can. The water will quickly become cloudy, so be
sure to start at the top and methodically work your way around
and down the bowl. As you wash the toilet bowl, you are also
washing and rinsing the toilet brush free of the cleanser you
originally sprinkled on it. Shake excess water into the bowl and
replace the brush. Flush the toilet. That's out of the way!
The Second Trip
Now it's time to clean around the room. Stick your feather duster
and/or microfiber duster plus the whisk broom into your back
pockets. Estimate the number of cleaning cloths you'll need and
transfer them from the tray to your apron. At first, try grabbing
six to eight cloths. As time goes on, you'll know how many to
use. You're ready to move on to the easy part of cleaning the
bathroom.
