Today’s Day 4 of the Simplify for Fall Challenge, and we’re tackling the bedrooms and bathrooms!
Let’s start with a confession: I think I overestimated my ability to get things done this week. Not only am I coming off the high-stress week with last week’s ebook launch, but I still have some work to do, so I’m getting a later start than I hoped each day.
Also? It takes a lot longer to update this post throughout the day then I expected!
So all of that to say that I’m feeling a little loopy — like I’m being pulled in too many directions — and definitely not meeting all of my goals.
But I’m going to keep pushing forward because I am getting stuff done, and it feels SO good to walk into the laundry room or open a kitchen cabinet or get the girls clothes because those areas are so organized and clutter-free.

I enjoy the process of cleaning and keeping a home, but bathrooms are my least favorite rooms to tackle. To keep the process a little bit easier, I clean them every Monday and tidy up the counters and toilets as needed through the week. I don’t have more than 15 minutes a week to spend cleaning bathrooms, so I’ve devised a method that I’d like to share with you: it’s simple, ‘green’, and it really works.
Grab Your Supplies
I like to keep my bathroom cleaning supplies in each bathroom, you might prefer a cleaning bucket or caddy. This method will work either way. You’ll need:
- your favorite all-purpose cleaner (look for non-toxic cleaners – they work just as well and you won’t need to don your hazmat suit)
- glass/mirror cleaner
- toilet brush (disclosure: I prefer the flushable toilet scrubbers)
- toilet bowl cleaner
- a microfiber window cloth (my preference for mirrors – use what you like)
- 3+ microfiber cleaning cloths for each bathroom (1 for counters, 1 for tub/shower, 1 for toilet)
