Today on the blog we’re getting back to basics after the summer break with some simple, no-fuss cleaning! (Did you see me on YouTube yesterday? I’m back with weekly videos, woo hoo!) Do you dread cleaning the bathroom? Ha ha, it doesn’t have to be that way! With Flylady Zone 3 – the bathroom – we’re keeping it short, sweet, and manageable. And I’ve got plenty of inspiration for you!
We’re making our homes clean, cosy, and hygge – one small step at a time. A few minutes here and there make a huge difference. Need a quick win to get you started? Here we go!
4 simple bathroom tasks:
Wipe down the bathroom mirror, taps (faucet) and sink area – instant sparkle!
Clear out one bathroom drawer or shelf (toss old products/empty bottles). If I have gently-used hair products, perfume, bubble bath, body lotions, etc, that I don’t like, I put them in my bag for our next Swap Party.
Dust the plants (I have a mixture of real and plastic). Give them a quick shower/water them.
Wash the bathroom rug/shower curtain and change over the hand towels. If we have any tatty towels, I cut them up and turn them into cleaning rags.
Pop on some music or body-double with me using one of my bathroom cleaning and decluttering videos!
This is also the time to check your supplies and restock. What are you running low on? Add toilet paper, deodorant, toothpaste, etc to your shopping list. You can also use my Flylady Zone 3 cleaning list if you’re in the mood to do more—but remember, you don’t need to do it all this week. This is an ongoing process!
At the age of 58, I find I lose concentration more easily these days – mush brain, ha ha! So I always listen to music or an audiobook on my headphones to keep me entertained while working! Do you have difficulty with motivation or tend to procrastinate? Use a timer to get you up and moving. You’ll be surprised at how much you can get done in just 5 or 10 minutes!
Let’s make things a little better, one area at a time. Let me know in a comment ONE small thing you can clean or declutter in your bathroom today! Rah, rah, rah – you’ve got this!
And take time for YOU today! What will it be? Trying out a new tea, ten minutes working on a jigsaw puzzle, walking the neighbour’s dog, watching your favourite TV show? This morning I took a cold plunge in my She Shack (our garden shed) and here’s me yesterday, enjoying a quick dip in the sea before work!
Have a wonderful day!
