How to Clean a Bathroom

What to do when you haven't cleaned your bathroom in months, and there are people coming over tomorrow.

Put all toiletries and personal items that belong in the bathroom in their proper places, most likely drawers and cabinets.
Close the drawers and cabinets, and then take all other items out of the bathroom. This includes stuff that doesn't belong in the bathroom, such as clothing, but keep in mind that your job will be easier if you remove the wastebasket, toilet-brush caddy, etc.
Put all dirty clothes in the hamper or bring to washer and dryer if laundry is being done that day.
Start with the toilet. Pour in some bleach (be sure to read the warnings below or you might not have to worry about anything again, including cleaning your bathroom) or bowl cleaning solution and let it sit. Some toilet cleansers come in a bottle that is shaped to get the solution under the rim; these are very handy, but if you don't have any, ordinary bleach will do wonders. You can come back to this later; let the disinfectant do its job for 20-30 minutes. Afterward, if a copper rotoruter has been used previously to unclog the toilet, use an amber stone and rub it against the marks that the rotoruter left.
Sweep the floor. Bathrooms accumulate a great deal of hair and other detritus. Those rubber-bristle brooms do wonders getting the junk out of crevices between tiles, but a normal broom will do an adequate job.
Apply the cleaning solution of your choice to the tub and shower walls. Let it sit for a few minutes, then start scrubbing. Spray cleansers made especially for getting rid of soap scum work very well on tubs that haven't been cleaned in a while. For hard water areas that are prone to green and rust-coloured stains, a cleanser made for eliminating calcium, lime and rust is probably what you need. Never use abrasive clearers or green abrasive scrub pads or steel wool on porcelain fixtures, as they will quickly dull the finish.
Don't forget the anti-slip tub mat. Check the bottom; if it's mildewed, you may take it to another room and soak it in hot water with a bit of bleach added. Or, you can fill your tub with bleach solution and pre-clean the tub while getting the mildew off your tub mat. You will still, however, probably have to scrub your bathtub.
Don't forget the shower curtain; it is also prone to mildew. A solution of about 2/3 water, 1/3 bleach in a spray bottle (designated for this express purpose!) can be handy for getting rid of mildew spots.
Rinse the bathtub and shower area thoroughly with the hottest water that comes out of the tap. Hot water will dry faster.
Clean the sink and counter area. You may use whichever cleaning product you used on the tub, and scrub in the same manner, rinsing your sponge thoroughly as you go along so as not to move hair and dust around. A toothbrush or cotton swabs can be handy for getting the junk out from between the tap and handles.
Return to the toilet, and scrub your now germ-free toilet bowl with a toilet brush, getting the solution-infused bowl water under the rim. Flush.
Spray the rim and lid of the bowl with the same cleanser you used on your tub and sink; wipe. If you are concerned about germs on the outside of the bowl, spray a bit of your bleach-water solution on to the surface and let it sit for a few minutes before wiping. Always wear gloves when cleaning your toilet & only use those gloves for cleaning the bathroom, if you use them in the kitchen it will cause cross contamination & could make you & your family very ill. It is also a good idea to use paper towels when wiping the exterior of the toilet so you can dispose of them after use.
Wash the walls, molding, and windowsill if necessary. If these are made of wood, hot, soapy water (dish soap works fine, so does laundry detergent) from a bucket should be used. If they are tiled, you can use the same cleaning product you used on your tub and sink.
Wipe off the fronts and tops of cabinets and drawers. You'll probably want to use hot, soapy water for this purpose. If you're worried about germs on these surfaces, add a bit of bleach to your soapy water.
Clean the ceiling. The aforementioned bleach-water solution in a spray bottle can be used to eliminate mildew spots on the ceiling as well.
Clean the windows and mirror with glass cleaner and paper towels. Do not use soap, bleach, or a sponge on glass; it will not make it look clean.
Mop the floor, starting with the furthest point from the door. Hot soapy bleach water will work best. Be sure to go over your floor with a clean water rinse to remove slippery soap residue. Be sure to get along the sides of your toilet bowl where it is anchored to the floor. This area is notoriously dirty.
Exit the bathroom and dispose of your mop water, and probably your sponge.
Wash your hands and change your clothes.
Once everything's dry, put the items that belong in the bathroom back.
Take a moment to congratulate yourself on a job well done.
