Nothing can be quite as gross as having a dirty, nasty bathroom. Have you ever had such a mess in your bathroom that you would almost rather go down to the local truck stop to use the restroom? (And you know those a bad!)
For those people who have children, this can be a constant problem as the little ones have a really hard time seeing the need to keep a bathroom tidy and organized. However, one way that you can help yourself keep the bathroom clean is by using bathroom canisters.
These canisters for the bathroom are created for a variety of uses. For instance, one canister is specifically for toilet brush storage. Who wants to have a dirty toilet brush stored under the cabinet or behind the toilet? Instead, you can find a nice looking toilet brush canister to sit beside your toilet that will remind you (or your kids) to clean that toilet bowl occasionally! You can match this canister to your other bathroom décor as they even come in stainless steel designs.
You can also purchase apothecary jars to use as bathroom canisters. These are most often used for q-tips or cotton balls. Again, they can be matched to your other bathroom décor or faucets. This is a great space saver since you will not have to store big bags of cotton balls under your cabinets. You can simply put them into the jar and leave it on your countertops to remind the children to clean out those ears once in awhile!
Of course, there are also bathroom canisters that will hold your toothbrushes as well. These are really important because you want to keep those very clean. It has been proven that when a toilet is flushed, harmful bacteria is shot through the air and sometimes travels up to 20 feet! Without covering your toothbrushes, you have no idea what bacteria may be on them. Yuck!
Using bathroom canisters under your sink is a great idea too. You can choose ones that will allow you to store all sorts of items such as lotions, hair products and feminine products. This will keep your cabinets immaculate!
Here are some other bathroom cleaning ideas:
Keep canisters of cleaning wipes under your counter so that they are easily accessible to wipe down your countertops each day.
After using a cleaning cloth on the countertop, use it to wipe off the toilet lid and back as well as the floor around the toilet.
Clean up the little messes as you go along so that you can focus on the bigger ones later. That way you do not feel like you have a huge job ahead of you every time the bathroom needs to be cleaned.
Pick one day each week that you will spend one hour cleaning the bathroom. This way, you will know exactly how much time you will spend and you can prepare for what needs to be done. Aside from that hour, only clean up messes as you go along.
Yes, keeping the bathroom clean is an ongoing and never-ending chore. Bathroom canisters can at least help you semi-tame the wicked beast! And they ad a nice little personal flair to the powder room.
