A cleaning expert has revealed her 10-step guide to achieving a spotless bathroom.
Ida Julia, who describes herself as “your cleaning bestie” on Instagram, shares cleaning routines, hacks and product information on social media platforms to help others keep their houses spick-and-span. In video posted on TikTok, she demonstrated how to clean a bathroom thoroughly in 10 simple steps, covering everything from the shower screen to mirrors and surfaces.
Ida’s routine starts with removing towels, bath mats and other items from the bathroom. She then dusts the room from top to bottom before moving on to clean the shower screen using The Pink Stuff cleaning paste and a Scrub Daddy scrubber.
Mirrors, walls and doors are next on her list, with the shower area getting a good scrub while other walls and doors are mopped. Using her trusty scrubber, she cleans the shower fixtures, ensuring they are rinsed well and dried properly with a towel.
The sink and other surfaces are cleaned next, followed by disinfecting door handles and light switches. She then moves on to clean all parts of the toilet, reminding viewers not to forget the rim, base and area behind the toilet.
After mopping the floor, the cleaning pro concludes her routine by cleaning and disinfecting her tools, bath mats and towels in the washing machine with more of The Pink Stuff. Her TikTok video has garnered an astounding 2.1 million views, 168,000 likes, and 443 comments, with 44,400 users saving it for future reference.
One user commented: “To those who are overwhelmed by the thought of doing this, doing this even once every three months is better than not doing it at all. It doesn’t have to be every week.” Ida responded with a simple “totally” indicating her agreement.
Another user shared their experience: “I tested it. I never had that much fun cleaning my bathroom.” A third person added: “This was SO satisfying to watch.”
Meanwhile, a fourth remarked: “Looks so good, I can feel the pureness and the fresh smell, ah, perfect.” Ida has curated a list of her favourite cleaning products in her TikTok bio, including The Pink Stuff Foaming Toilet Cleaner, The Pink Stuff Oxi Powder Stain Remover, The Pink Stuff Cleaning Paste and sponge bundle, the Karcher Window Vac, Vileda Spin Mop, and an electric cleaning brush.
Using her social media influence, Ida aims to “give you cleaning motivation.” Her other TikTok uploads feature tips on how to deep clean your cleaning tools, three must-try cleaning hacks, and “five things you should clean at least once a week.”
