Best Toilet Cleaner Tips for Your Family Bathroom

However, I am happy to have this great product on board as I am sharing my tricks to a cleaner house.

Figuring out the best Toilet Cleaner Tips for our family bathroom has been an adventure.  I’ll be honest, I have a great imagination, and in the perfect world, my house looks amazing inside and out any time of the week, my kitchen is spacious, my couches are comfy, and my freshly remodeled bathroom is like a getaway to paradise.

However, most of us (me included) live in a different reality, where the words “house” and “perfect” wouldn’t even be listed in the same paragraph. My kitchen table can’t comfortably fit my whole family, and the bathroom remodeling keeps getting pushed off my wish list by other more pressing expenses.

Best Toilet Cleaner Tips for Your Family Bathroom

If your family has to share a bathroom you know firsthand that is almost impossible to keep it clean. It is called a family bathroom for a reason – mine serves five family members and most of the time that means mess is unavoidable.  So, how do you make it easier to manage?  Especially when it comes to that most used part of the bathroom?

Since I believe in finding creative solutions for everyday problems I came up with a few tips that address any family bathroom problem areas. Thank you 2000 Flushes for inspiring me to deal with my messy bathroom finally.  The following family bathroom ideas focus on toilet cleaner tips and suggestions to keep your family safe and your bathroom clean. 

Problem Area: Bathtub

With so many bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and sponges it seems impossible to take a shower without knocking things down



or stepping on something.



Solution:

While you might not want to admit it, you need to separate and organize the supplies. I purchased a second Shower curtain rod, $3 baskets, and shower curtain hooks to create this storage solution. Positioned against the wall, it creates a perfect separation.



Problem Area: Toilet

You have to agree that a toilet in a family bathroom handles a lot of abuse. I swear it goes from clean to super unattractive way too fast with a help of my family members!  That’s why the right toilet cleaner is a MUST!



It is the inside, the outside, and all the way around. It might be something mothers of girls would not understand, but if you are a lucky mother of a boy (or boys), you know first-hand “the aim problem,” “the seat problem,” and “the combination of an aim and seat problem.”

Solution

To make a toilet – the hardest working part of the bathroom – stay cleaner longer you might need to: automate, disinfect, and redefine a few things.

For this project, I used 2000 Flushes Automatic Toilet Bowl Cleaner, a load of disinfecting wipes, and a paper towel rack.

Step 1:

Admit it, a box of disinfecting wipes within your reach is the easiest way to go from yuck to clean quick. Set a garbage bag next to you and get cleaning.

Step 2:

2000 Flushes Automatic Toilet Bowl Cleaner cleans and deodorizes with every flush, keeping your toilet fresh and clean and making your scrubbing easier for up to four months at a time.

Because my hardworking toilet deserves the best, I went with 2000 Flushes^® Blue Plus Bleach. This variety of 2000 flushes uses the combined power of bleach and blue detergents to keep a bowl sparkling, sanitary and deodorized.

Scrub the toilet (including under the rim).

Cut both of the packages open (don’t touch the tablets with your hands – keep them in the packaging). Flush the toilet and drop both tablets onto the far right corner of the tank before it fills up with water.

Consider your toilet cleaned!

Step 3:

Who likes running out of toilet paper? Not me! Use a cheap paper towel rack to store a few rolls of toilet paper within reach to avoid uncomfortable moments – I keep mine right behind the toilet.

Problem: Sink Area

With so many people around, every little thing ends up on the counter top – from toys to clothes – and I can never find what I need when I need it.

Solution:

I admire people who keep countertop empty, but I don’t believe it’s possible in my house. However, here are some things that helped me take my mess under control to make morning routines manageable.

Under the Sink Storage

Anything that you think should be stored under the sink can be separated and placed in different containers. Now I know that my cleaning supplies and personal hygiene products won’t get even close to each other.

More Storage

Does your family bathroom have spaces that can be used for storage? I found a perfect spot for a plastic Four Drawer Tower that helped me separate dental products, my husband things, hair essentials, and my own valuables. That means practically everything in the bathroom now has its place.

More Stuff?

Somehow we always have the excessive supply of shampoos, soaps, and other things. Since these will not be used for a while, I place them in a black storage container with a lid.

We also use these stackable shoe boxes



And try to avoid storing anything on the floor.



I hope these tips for how to keep your family bathroom clean and organized help make your routine easier.  Whether you use our tips for storage, or you pick up the great toilet cleaner tips and especially, 2000 Flushes Toilet Bowl Cleaner, this is a great routine to put into place for your family. Click HERE to get a coupon for $1 OFF your next purchase of 2000 Flushes.
