How to clean bathrooms so your clients love you. This is a central service for your house cleaning business.

Bathroom cleaning is one of the jobs that a professional home cleaner will most often come up against. If the bathroom is regularly maintained by the client, the job won't be too hard. But if it is not maintained regularly, or it has been a long time between cleanings, you may have your job cut out for you.

As a professional home cleaner, your goal should be to make the bathroom shine. It's something your clients will really notice. In order to make that happen, you will need the proper cleaning tools, so that you can adequately remove any built up dirt and grime that has accumulated.

How to Clean Bathrooms -- Tools Checklist

• An all purpose cleaner
  
• A mild abrasive cleaner
  
• Soap scum remover
  
• Rust remover
  
• Glass cleaner
  
• Stainless steel cleaner
  
• Lint free cleaning rags
  
• Non-abrasive scrub brushes or sponges

Cleaning bathrooms is not difficult, and as a professional home cleaner it is really no different than cleaning your own bathroom. The right cleaning agents should be used for the right jobs. You should have an extensive knowledge of the cleaning products that you use to ensure you use them properly.

If a client has specialty parts in their bathroom, such as brass or bronze faucets, knobs or other accessories, you should make sure that you clean them with the right materials so that they are not damaged. A general rule of thumb is to start at the top and work your way down, finishing the floors last.

Special Bathroom Cleaning Tips

• Pay special attention to the corners of the tub and where the tub and surround meet the wall, which is a hot spot for mildew to form.
  
• Use a small brush and antibacterial spray to clean any grout in the bathroom, so that mold and mildew do not build up.
  
• Don't forget to clean the areas that cannot be seen. Inside of cabinets (as long as this is approved by the client), under the toilet tank, and under the toilet bowl lip should all be cleaned properly.
  
• Rather than using a mop to clean the floors, use a cleaning rag with floor cleaner, and dry the floor with a mop. While hard on the knees, this is the most effective way to properly clean the bathroom floor. From the floor you can also clean in corners, and where the walls and trim meet the floor. Your clients won't recognize their bathrooms when you're finished!

By following these simple bathroom cleaning tips, you can provide your customer with the sparkling clean bathroom that they desire, and be sure to boost the number of clients you receive when they tell all of their friends and family what a great job you do.
