To ensure that you don't miss cleaning anything in your bathroom, a checklist can be helpful. There are two reasons for this. First, no one wants to clean the bathroom, and without a checklist, you might "forget" to clean all areas needed. Second. Although small compared to other rooms in the house, a bathroom has quite a few different surfaces that need specialized care. For instance, because of the germs present, you have to be certain to disinfect several surfaces.
Hence, the following checklist is provided. It can be used in two ways. In its entirety, it is a detailed checklist that lists specific tasks that must be done. Once the scope of these tasks becomes routine, however, then you may only need to use the subject headings as your checklist. Note also that it is most efficient if you work from the top to the bottom, and move around the room in one direction (clockwise if you are right handed, and counter-clockwise if you are left handed).
