Instead of making a decision for items to declutter as you come across them, simply scoop up all the stuff on your counters and in cabinets and take them to a designated workspace outside the bathroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will give you the chance to see these bathroom items from a different perspective. Because after you&#8217;ve looked at items in the same spot day after day, they become a part of the environment and you lack the ability to judge them objectively.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><br><strong>Bathroom Decluttering Step 2: Sort Items in a Designated Workspace<\/strong><br><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by designating a designated workspace, free of clutter, where you can sort items from your bathroom. As you sort, ask yourself if each item is essential and serves a purpose in your daily life. Don&#8217;t be afraid to let go of items that are rarely used or no longer needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that decluttering is not about perfection, but about making the process easier for you in the long run. And decluttering is not a one-time occasion. It should be done regularly as a part of your quarterly reset. Decluttering is a life-long habit so get used to it if you want to maintain a clutter-free home.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><br><strong>Bathroom Decluttering Step 3: Stage Items to Support Your Lifestyle<\/strong><br><br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have sorted through everything, proceed to stage items in a way that aligns with your lifestyle and helps you maintain a clutter-free bathroom with ease. It&#8217;s not just about organizing items, but also about ensuring that the arrangement aligns with how you and your family use the space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider the frequency of use and accessibility when deciding where to place each item. For example, if you use certain beauty products daily, keep them within arm&#8217;s reach on open shelves or in clear containers. On the other hand, items used less frequently can be stored in cabinets or drawers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal is to make the items you use regularly easy to find and put away, minimizing the temptation to leave them out and creating a natural flow in your daily routines.<br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_5068-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5795\" width=\"576\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_5068-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_5068-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_5068-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_5068.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/us\/en\/p\/hemnes-raettviken-sink-cabinet-with-2-drawers-white-runskaer-faucet-s99293688\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GET OUR VANITY<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\"><br>Tip 2: Organize Your Bathroom with Intention<br><br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After decluttering, it&#8217;s time to organize your bathroom items. Give everything a specific place that is visually appealing and easy to see. Consider using labels on everything to streamline the organization process and ensure everything is in its designated spot. When every item in your bathroom has a designated spot, it becomes effortless to maintain order and cleanliness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have clear categories after sorting the items, assign specific locations for each group. Utilize storage containers, dividers, and organizers to keep similar items together and easily accessible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By providing everything with a designated home, you eliminate the stress of searching for misplaced items and prevent clutter from accumulating.<br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/non-toxic-shower-cleaners-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5751\" width=\"576\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/non-toxic-shower-cleaners-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/non-toxic-shower-cleaners-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/non-toxic-shower-cleaners-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/non-toxic-shower-cleaners.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\"><br>Tip 3: Gather Minimal Cleaning Supplies<br><br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep your bathroom cleaning supplies minimal and efficient.

Store your cleaners in a visually appealing and easily accessible location to make cleaning enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By keeping only essential cleaning supplies in the bathroom, you reduce clutter and streamline your cleaning process.

Designate a regular day for bathroom cleaning based on your preferences and lifestyle. Whether it&#8217;s a weekly or monthly schedule, choose a day that aligns with your other commitments and allows you ample time to dedicate to cleaning tasks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Write your cleaning zones in your paper planner or virtual planner to help you remember what cleaning zone you need to focus on.

These are activities you already do consistently throughout the day, such as brushing your teeth, taking a shower, or getting ready in the morning. Once you&#8217;ve recognized these habits, it&#8217;s time to stack cleaning tasks on top of them.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Simple Habit for Cleaning the Bathroom Sink<br><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, while brushing your teeth at night, take a few extra minutes to wipe down the bathroom sink and countertop. This simple act prevents toothpaste splatters and keeps your sink area clean and tidy.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Simple Habit for Cleaning the Shower<br><\/strong><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the time in the shower to <a href=\"https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/clean-shower-less-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">clean the shower<\/span><\/a>. As the water warms up, quickly wipe down the shower walls or tub with a scour pad. This prevents soap scum and mineral buildup and extends the time between deep cleanings.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Simple Habit for Cleaning the Bathroom Mirror<\/strong><br><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you blow dry your hair, use the opportunity to clean the bathroom mirror. Keep a small spray bottle of a non-toxic glass cleaner handy for quick touch-ups. By multitasking in this way, you can effortlessly maintain a spotless mirror. Even if you have messy boys!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Simple Habit for Cleaning the Bathroom Floor<\/strong><br><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For busy moms with little ones, bath time can be the perfect time for cleaning the bathroom floor. While your child enjoys their bath, quickly mop the floor or wipe down any splashes.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Simple Habit for Reorganizing the Bathroom<\/strong><br><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another effective method is to utilize Sundays or another designated day for reorganizing and resetting the bathroom. Before or after church, take a few minutes to ensure that all items are back in their designated places, and the bathroom is clutter-free. This weekly reset helps maintain order and prevents the buildup of mess and chaos.<br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_5075-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5799\" width=\"576\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_5075-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_5075-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_5075-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_5075.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\"><br>Tip 7: Stack Cleaning Habits with Established Habits<strong><br><\/strong><br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Resetting involves restoring the bathroom to its baseline state regularly, ensuring that everything is in its designated place and ready for use.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Know the Baseline for Your Rooms<\/strong><br><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing the baseline for your bathroom is really important.

This visual reminder serves as an accountability tool and ensures that everyone knows their roles and responsibilities.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Make Chores Fun for Kids<br><\/strong><br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For younger children, make cleaning fun and engaging. Turn bathroom cleaning into a game or a challenge with rewards or stickers for a job well done. This positive reinforcement motivates children and instills good habits from an early age.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Habit Trackers for the Bathroom<br><\/strong><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider using habit trackers for older family members to help them stay consistent with their assigned tasks. Habit trackers can be a visual representation of their progress and achievement, encouraging them to keep up with their responsibilities.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Positive Reinforcement for Chores<br><\/strong><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When someone in the family completes their assigned tasks, make sure to acknowledge their efforts and express appreciation. Positive reinforcement and recognition go a long way in encouraging continued participation and a sense of pride in contributing to the household.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Lead By Example<\/strong><br><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lead by example as a minimalist mom by consistently and diligently completing your own cleaning tasks. Your family will be more likely to follow suit when they see your commitment and enthusiasm toward keeping the bathroom clean.<br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_5081-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5791\" width=\"576\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_5081-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_5081-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_5081-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_5081.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-6 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/us\/en\/product\/thieves-whitening-toothpaste?enrollerId=3385110&amp;sponsorId=3385110\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shop my favorite toothpaste<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\"><br>Tip 10: Designate a Monthly Bathroom Monitor<br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Designating a bathroom monitor is a fantastic and motivating strategy to keep your bathroom clean as well. Imagine having a &#8220;bathroom boss&#8221; for the month, someone who keeps the space clean, tidy, and clutter-free. Not only does this create a sense of ownership and responsibility, but it also turns bathroom cleaning into a fun family activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how it works: at the beginning of each month, choose a family member to be the esteemed bathroom monitor. You can rotate this role monthly, so everyone gets a chance to take charge. The bathroom monitor&#8217;s primary mission is to ensure that everything is in its designated place, the countertops are clear, and the overall space is kept tidy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This person doesn&#8217;t have to clean the bathroom all the time but rather helps keep everyone else accountable for how they leave the bathroom after use. Guide this &#8220;bathroom boss&#8221; to gently remind family members to pick up or put back what they left out. The bathroom monitor can also keep track of the chore chart and make sure everyone is doing their part.<br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C48EAAD0-506F-437E-A685-4CF611CE2EF7-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5802\" width=\"432\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C48EAAD0-506F-437E-A685-4CF611CE2EF7-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C48EAAD0-506F-437E-A685-4CF611CE2EF7-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C48EAAD0-506F-437E-A685-4CF611CE2EF7-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C48EAAD0-506F-437E-A685-4CF611CE2EF7-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C48EAAD0-506F-437E-A685-4CF611CE2EF7.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\"><br>Tip 11: Designate a Person to Clean for Guests<br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When guests are coming over, designate a person to be in charge of cleaning the bathroom so your home is always guest-ready. You can do this for every room of your house. This approach not only simplifies the cleaning process but also ensures that the bathroom is consistently well-maintained for visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To implement this strategy, start by discussing with your family the importance of having a clean and welcoming bathroom for guests. Explain that designating a person for this task will make the process smoother and less overwhelming for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it&#8217;s time for the designated person to clean the bathroom before guests arrive, provide them with a simple checklist to follow. Include tasks like wiping down surfaces, ensuring the toilet is clean and stocked with supplies, and checking for any potential issues that might need attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re already utilizing the habit of resetting, zone cleaning, and a top-to-bottom cleaning routine, clean up by the designated person will be a piece of cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">PIN THIS to read again \u2193<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2-1-683x1024.png\" alt=\"infographic with a list of 11 Easy Tips for a Bathroom Cleaning System\" class=\"wp-image-5789\" width=\"512\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2-1-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2-1-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2-1-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2-1.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-theme-palette-6-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\"><strong>I&#8217;d love to hear from you!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have a bathroom cleaning system in place?
