If you have more than one, you can choose to do one or more bathrooms depending on the amount of furniture you have in your bathrooms.
Day 9: Deep Clean Bathroom Cabinets
It is really important to keep the bathroom furniture clean and hygienic. Regular cleaning of bathroom furniture will also increase it’s life. While cleaning, do ensure that the cleaning agents used are not damaging to the bathroom furniture.
Today you will be cleaning all bathroom furniture, surfaces including cabinets and shelves. In addition you will deep clean the sink.
If your bathroom is big and you cannot complete all the tasks, you can continue with what’s left during the next bathroom cleanup.
Important Note:
So, whatever you do, don’t get overwhelmed and work at your own pace. It doesn’t matter if you take a bit longer to complete the challenge.
Do whatever works for you – skip certain tasks, add others. But, just clean something!

Tips to remember during the 30 Day House Cleaning Challenge
- Before you begin, gather all the necessary tools and keep them ready. You could get yourself a cleaning caddy or just use a basket or box.
- Decide on a specific amount of time that you can/will spend cleaning and set a timer. Work as quickly as you can within this time and don’t get distracted. (Except if it’s an emergency of some kind!)
- Start cleaning from the top of the room and work your way down. This will prevent dust falling on surfaces that you have already cleaned.
- Work from one side of the room to the other side, in a systematic matter, so that you don’t miss any spots.
- When the timer goes off, stop working! You can catch up with what you have missed during your next cleaning session.
- Use checklists to track your progress and to ensure that you don’t miss out anything. Checklists are especially useful in instances where you cannot complete a task and need to reschedule it.
