hinge  area  of  porcelain  (catching  any
            splatters).  Push  the  lid  and  seat  back
            fully upright and wipe the rim clean.

            Clean  all  the  way  down  the  outside  to
            the  floor,  using  the  toothbrush  on  areas
            such  as  where  the  toilet  meets  the  floor
            and around  those annoying little plastic
            caps.  (You’ve  already  cleaned  the  inside  of  the  toilet  so  don't
            touch it at all.)  If there is mold left at the base of the toilet after
            you've cleaned this area, leave it and spray it with bleach later—
            only if there is no carpeting involved, of course. Your supervisor
            may very well want you to dedicate a toothbrush exclusively for
            use in the bathroom.

            The Floor Around the Toilet
            Even though you haven't started to clean the floor yet, we prefer
            to be on our hands and knees, eyeball to eyeball with the toilet,
            only once. So clean the (uncarpeted) floor around the base of the
            toilet while you're there. Spray the floor around the entire base
            of the toilet with Red Juice and wipe it clean and dry. Remember
            that you have been throwing the cloths into a plastic bag (never
            set  dirty  clothes  on  carpet),  or  into  your  tray--as  they  get  too
            soiled or wet.  You can use these already-used cloths to wipe the
            floor.  Also remember not to throw  soiled cloths  on carpets or
            wood floors—they might stain. If you have a carpeted bathroom,
            use the whisk broom in your back pocket to brush the areas of
            carpet that the vacuum can't reach.

            Shower Doors—Outside
            Just before you finish your trip back to where you left your tray
            (on the floor at the right end of the tub) you will pass the shower
            doors.  Clean the outside only with Blue Juice. Often all you need
                                      to  clean  are  the  fingerprints
                                      around the handle. The outside of
                                      the tub occasionally needs a quick
                                      swipe. You're just about done!

                                      The Floor
                                      Take several already-used cloths to
