Bathroom cleaning hack can save you 'hours' each week and takes 60 seconds

The bathroom is one area of the house you really don't want to neglect. To maintain its hygiene, it requires regular cleaning, which can be quite a chore to stay on top of.

However, a savvy cleaning expert on social media has revealed a 'game-changing' hack that promises to slash 'hours' from your weekly cleaning routine. Even better, it's incredibly easy to implement and could soon become a habit. Kendra Hennessy, known as @themotherlikeaboss on TikTok, shared the 'brilliant' trick with her followers, noting she uses this method in her own home.

The cleaning expert assures that this approach keeps the bathroom - or any room for that matter - spick and span with minimal time or effort.

In her popular TikTok clip, which has amassed over 84,000 likes, she said: "For most people, cleaning the bathroom is an overwhelming task that they have to carve out a lot of time for. And if you hate cleaning bathrooms, that's no fun to do."

However, by tweaking your daily habits slightly, you can significantly reduce the time spent on this often-dreaded task. Kendra suggests embracing what she calls the 'do-then-clean' technique, which she claims takes about 60 seconds to complete.

Giving an example, she mentioned: "A few times a week, after I brush my teeth, I wipe down the sink. It literally takes less than a minute to do, and then I don't have to worry about chiselling off all the toothpaste, gunk and hair that gets into the sink."

Kendra also revealed her top tip for keeping the shower spotless: "I wipe down the glass shower while I'm in the shower a couple of times a week as well. Again, it only takes me about 60 seconds, and it prevents all of the nasty soap, scum and water marks from getting on the glass."

She emphasised that maintaining a clean home is 'way less complicated' when you realise that these small tasks can be integrated into your daily routine. Kendra advised: "These tiny maintenance tasks cut hours off my cleaning time over the course of the week."

Linking quick chores like wiping surfaces or clearing hair from drains to existing habits such as showering or brushing teeth can make a big difference.

She added: "I'm telling you as a cleaning expert that the 'do-then-clean' method is the reason that my house stays as clean as it does."

In response to Kendra's advice, many expressed gratitude in the comments section, with some sharing their own quick cleaning habits.

One person commented: "This is probably one of the most helpful tips I have ever heard. Definitely implementing this into my life!

"Simple but great tips!" another reader said, while someone else shared: "Wash face every night, use a clean washcloth to dry your face, use it to wipe down the sink and counter, throw in the hamper. Done."
