I love to shower in the morning right after my morning run. I sent this video right away to my 4 teenagers! They are in desperate need to watch it!! And btw I’ve been clean my house your way for many years now. It’s the best way. All my respect for you for sticking to your objectives and not be driven by other interests (that might bring you more $$) like other cleaning experts have been doing lately. I completely trust you with my house 😊❤

[@Jennifer-nz2ss]

I shower in the PM. I work outside all day 6am-6pm! I'm a special needs school bus driver! ❤yay😅

[@mary-qc3rf]

Me too

[@nrutherford1628]

I love to shower at night before bed, it allows me to wash the grime of the day away and I’m always clean in my bed, I hate the idea of getting into bed not fresh, it also helps me relax too… I’d like to add that I have a quick strip wash in the morning, including face, underarms and the other essential places if you know what I mean!!! Sweet dreams!!!

[@radiosonicfan1726]

I deep clean bathroom on Mondays. Towel changes and counter wipes as needed. Cleaning is easier when done on a schedule.

[@virgierutledge3004]

We have been married for 54 yrs. and I kept telling my lover husband that when he makes a huge blast, he could do a swish, swish to clean the bowl before it dries. This year he is finally, doing it. Don't give up ladies. Great presentation from Melissa.

😂I had 3 kids sharing a bathroom (2 boys). I used to deep clean 2X weekly w/daily wipe downs. When they became old enough, daily wipe downs became their assigned chore, especially in/around the toilet; There's nothing worse than a dirty, pissy smelling bathroom! 😂😝

I’ve been watching your videos for years, but I was really looking for one like this! The quick guide with a nice summary of bathroom maintenance. It’s the chore that takes me the longest. I probably spend 2-4 hours a week cleaning our bathrooms and suspect that there are some inefficiencies

[@jennyjenkins877]

Thank you... this is super validating for the 'clean it when dirt appears' camp who are feeling less than due to messages from the 'swish and swipe everyday' camp. Weekly is just fine with me and I spread the tasks out throughout the weekdays (with weekends off) so it's not overwhelming and won't cause me to procrastinate.

I having been using all white washcloths and towels for years. For face, it allows less bacteria. Also, I use those wash cloths for hand towels and change once or twice a day. However I do use cute Hand towels for for guest bathroom. We have an RV and I use white in there also.

[@evelynbaran8863]

I always come to your videos Melissa and it gives me motivation to start cleaning lol

[@robinguerra376]

I shower at night during work week. I work from home so it gives a bit more sleep time. On weekends its in am. Ever since I started rinsing my tub and in tub mat after showers I find I can go a bit longer between cleanings. Toilet area once a week and sink as needed. Always rinse after use and wipe splashes on mirror. Habits I started after lockdown and watching cleaning videos.

[@Jakeein]

I have 4 bathrooms in my home. I don't mind cleaning the bathrooms but my biggest dread is the outside of the toilet. All those lint build up is frustrating to clean out. I have to be honest though my bathrooms are pretty nasty at the moment. It's time to clean! Melissa PLEASE have weekly reminders on here for someone like me to be motivated to clean. If possible, appreciate it.

I don't like cleaning the outside of the toilet either.

I have always showered at night. I like being clean when I get into bed. I've also heard that it's best to shower before bed to reduce allergens. I don't really suffer from allergies and I wonder if my nightly shower routine has helped?

[@nonuora]

What about cleaning bathroom floors and walls/baseboards?

[@FallnAngel07]

I live alone in a studio and clean the bathroom at least once a week. I spritz my big mirror once a week and spot clean it during the week, I use a bit of rubbing alcohol on the mirror if there are any stubborn stains on the mirror. I clean the toilet daily. I notice when there's a smell in my bathroom, it's usually from the toilet. I once had a friend come over, use my bathroom and say "That's how a bathroom is supposed to smell" I was so proud of myself

[@jenblindert9093]

Shower before bed times a billion🙋‍♀️ I can't go to bed dirty. It feels so much better to go bed clean and then you don't have to get up as early.

[@alicejohnson6775]

I am a morning shower girl. Thanks for all the work you do to bring us these videos!

My favorite is back with another video !

[@Jelly-rj8fz]

some added points, modern showers forbid squeegees and any acid on either the base or glass/other walls, and fancy plastic toilet seats and counters forbid any kind of acid also, just soap and water.. plus here in NZ, we also have lino or vinyl very commonly in our bathroom(the plus is much warmer on your tootsies) :) :)PS I love watching your vids, I learn so much thank you

[@melodyochs5458]

Either/or, AM & PM. Depends on what I'm doing that day. Always PM when I change the bed sheets. Something serene happens!

[@samtakhandhia1012]

Great vlog as always Melissa. I keep a microfibre cloth in the bathroom so I can quickly wipe around the sink area after I have finished. Each month I clean the shower grout with a toothbrush and bleach spray. It stops any mould / pink mildew building up. I also clean the shower trap drain removing any hair and then put drain cleaner down the pipes. I also do this to the sink plugs. Leave the bathroom how you find it is my motto. I never leave home without checking the toilets. A little daily maintenance which takes a few minutes is worth it.

[@yanammm]

Great question about the AM vs. PM showering! I’ve always wondered what’s the right thing to do :). My reality is: when I’m single, I shower in the morning to be fresh for the day and the people I meet, but when I’m in relationship I just CANNOT go to bed with a person all smelly and dirty 🙃, so I do a PM shower, too.

Do you make white microfiber hand/bath towels ? I like the idea of using these to replace my cotton towels for the antibacterial benefits 👍 Thank you for all you useful tips !

[@fraliexb]

I shower when I wake up, but I do see the benefits of showering before bed. I'm a procrastinator, so waking up basically already "clean" would help morning routines. Showering before bed would help keep bedding cleaner.

[@beca7696]

I do a basic Clean every day toilet and sink. I do a thorough clean twice weekly. Filling the sink with bleach and water. I wipe down everything all the tiles, bath, toilet, sink, skirting boards, I then polish with a microfiber cloth then I clean the the mirrors and the bath screen. I mop everyday in the evening.

[@kat3910]

I love your videos and all of your (sage) advice! I have a question. We put white marble tile in our bathroom. What do I clean that with? Some of the chemicals are too harsh for marble, but then the smells don't dissipate. Please advise :). thank you!

Amazing tips! Which product do you recommend to clean the grout? Thanks

Growing up, we were supposed to shower both in the am and pm. Now I'm more pm since that's when you clean off all the dirt and sweat of the day before getting in bed.

This is really embaressing to ask as I've been struggling with depression for years, but how do you remove mold and mildew from shower/bath tiles? Like on the grout?

[@mariaperez-i9n]

Live in a tropical country, at least shower in the mornings and before going to bed. Some days, need to shower 3 or even 4 times in a day, for example, if I am at home during the day and have to go outside in the evening. After that extra shower, one more before going to bed.

[@ColleenJoudrey]

I shower in the morning, I'm extra sluggish through the day if I dont kick start it with a cool shower. As for bathroom cleaning, my house has one bathroom for 2 adults and 2 teenagers so it's a busy space and they are not tidy people. I clean the tub,shower,floors and shelves once/week and the sink & toilet get done 3-4 times/week. As for the shower curtain, I just use a liner and it gets replaced every 6-8 weeks and the bathtub caulking needs to be redone every 8-10 months.

[@vivianhudacek1556]

Toss your plastic liner in the washing machine & dryer! Good as new & saves money!

[@ColleenJoudrey]

I have tried multiple methods to clean them and as soon as they start to go pink, they will never come clean. The staining etches the plastic.

[@emilysmith2784]

We don’t have a fan in our bathroom. It’s so annoying. We have a dehumidifier which we wheel in after a shower but mould is such a problem. I don’t think the previous owners cared about not having a fan and the mould is just embedded everywhere. The biggest chore I find is cleaning the shower hose and all the little knooks and crannies on the shower bifold door. If our next house has a shower cubicle i will be demolishing it 😂

[@julietannOsfan1972]

I shower in the morning. Even if I had a shower at night, which I very rarely do, I would still need to have a wash in the morning. I couldn’t go all day without washing my bits. I really hate hand towels, as they’re nearly always damp & other people have used them. Totally unhygienic. In my bathroom & loo I use kitchen roll instead. I know that cleaning the loo every couple of days is good, but I also think that people should clean it after they’ve had a no 2. Skid marks in a loo look awful. Just curious, what are your views on shower spays that you use on your bath/shower after you’ve used it? I use this every morning after my shower & then clean the bath about once a week. (My shower is over the bath)

[@Scrappicat]

If I'm washing my hair then I like to shower in the morning so my hair has time to dry. Otherwise, I find a quick hot shower in the evening to nice and relaxing. My husband showers in the day except the day we wash sheets (Mondays). He likes to be totally clean when sleeping on the newly washed sheets. Tuesday towel day is what I call it so that's when all the towels get washed. Helps me remember. I don't wash towels with other stuff because they can pill things.

Bubbles in the bath prevent fun and go well with a glass of wine, brandy or tea just to prove I use my bath for hot water therapy. My little bit of everyday luxury.

I've noticed in bathroom cleaning/organizing videos that everyone keeps their counters clear and puts toothbrushes in the drawer. This has always puzzled me. I don't want something that's been in someone else's mouth cozying up to a toothbrush that's going in MY mouth. It doesn't seem terribly hygienic. Also how can toothbrushes dry if their closed up in a drawer? Isn't this creating a breeding ground for bacteria? Just curious.
