A Five-Minute Routine to Keep Your Bathroom Clean

Cleaning the bathroom may very well be the worst of all the household chores, but Apartment Therapy has put together a quick five minute daily routine that can save you the suffering of scrubbing for hours on end.

The basic idea of Apartment Therapy's routine is to break bathroom cleaning into five 60 second chunks that you can do at any point in the day. Here's the basic breakdown:

• Minute one: clearing off surfaces.
• Minute two: surface cleaning.
• Minute three: straightening.
• Minute four: wipe down mirrors and fixtures.
• Minute five: assess and wipe down anything else.

You can mix things up a bit to fit your needs. For instance, my bathroom is the size of a small closet so clearing off surfaces is pretty much non-existant, but I could spend that minute sweeping instead. The important part to remember is to keep it short and do it daily so you don't have to do a deep scrub down the line.
