How to Keep your Bathroom Clean without Cleaning!

Posted by Holly Nelson on Wednesday, September 16, 2009 Under: Tip of the Week

I do not like to spend a lot of time cleaning the bathroom, or cleaning anything really. I figured out a way to keep it clean without spending hours scrubbing. Start using some of my tips in your morning bathroom routine, or whenever you choose. Here are a few of my tips:

With your morning routine:

1. Keep shower cleaner and a scrub brush in the shower. When you shower, rinse and clean spot you see that are dirty. This does not mean the whole shower at one time. If you get behind, there may be a day where you need to clean the whole shower.

2. After putting your make up on and putting it away, use a wash cloth or clorox wipe to wipe down the counters, sink, and cabinets. Remember, don't be a perfectionist! This should only take a minute!

3. Before leaving the bathroom, use toilet paper to wipe the surface and bottom edges of the toilet, then flush.

Other times of the day:
1. When giving kids a bath
   ~ Let them play while you sweep. Mop after you get them out of the tub.
   ~ Take everything off the counter and clean well.
   ~ Wipe fingerprints off of the walls, doors, and light switch.
    ~ Throw away empty bottles.
   ~ Check supplies and put them on a list.
   ~ Clean cobwebs

2. Any other time: (this doesn't have to be at the same time everyday)
   ~ Take 15 minutes everyday to do one thing on your area cleaning checklist.
   ~ When you walk by and see clothes, pick them up and put in the hamper.
   ~ Light a candle! Candles always make bathrooms seem and smell so much better!

"Let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a quiet and gentle sprirt, which is precious in the sight of God." 1 Peter 3:4 - "An excellent wife,who can find? Her worth is far above jewels." Proverbs 31:10 ~~ I am a stay-at-home-mom(SAHM) married to the love of my life, Jeff Nelson. We have six wonderful boys. Ryan(13), Seth(11), Ian(8), Noah(5), Luke(4), and Jack (born April 2010). We live in Tennessee on 4 acres. I grew up the first few years of my life on a dairy farm in Missouri and loved country living. I was saved at a young age by the grace of God and shed blood of Jesus during that time of simple country living. That part of my life is very dear to me. God taught me many things as a baby Christian that I can still think about today. Then we moved to Memphis when I was in the 5th grade. I learned to love the city life, too. It was a completely different way of life. My whole family still lives in Missouri, still does a little farming and simple country living. When Jeff, the kids, and I moved from the city to the country, I incorporated my city life with my country background. My mom laughs at me when I cut my grass on my John Deere tractor while drinking my Starbucks Mocha and wearing my fancy sunglasses. And when I am shampooing my carpet in my high-heeled black boots. I just love those boots! But I would love to share about how I got to be the way I am today, The Victoriously Organized Woman! I used to work as a supervisor at bank for years. I had to dress up everyday. After the birth of our second child we decide I should be a SAHM. One of the best decision I've ever made. But I made a bad decision, too. I hardly ever dressed up anymore. I hardly ever wore make-up. After about a year I looked in the mirror and said, "OH MY! Jeff has to come home to this!?!" He is so wonderful he said he liked me that way, "natural". Well , I realized that I didn't. It made me feel bad about myself. I felt disorganized, tired and stressed and a little "rough" looking. I felt I just couldn't get it all done. At this time I was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease. I wasn't able to do certains things. Like mop the floor of my completely hardwood floor home that I was obsessed about keeping clean. The doctor told me I couldn't have salt, caffeine, or stress! "What?! Are you kidding!?" So , then I decided to change my routine,thought pattern, and cooking. I began to get up early, shower and dress, put on make up. Always being ready to leave whenever I needed to. I established routines that helped me eliminate extra cleaning and stresses. I was able to make more time for myself and make more time for my family. And the family had more time for each other. I made more time for God and others. This made me feel better about myself. I am so happy about how this changed my life I want to share it with everyone.
