Tips for Spring Cleaning your Bathroom in Brisbane

Every bathroom needs a good Spring Cleaning, and NEST is here to guide you through how you can overhaul, clean, and create a beautiful, tranquil, and relaxing space in your home.

Before getting started, we recommend going through each drawer and cupboard and tossing out any products, medication, etc which is expired. We all have them lurking in the back of our bathroom cupboards, taking up valuable space, well it’s time to go through and toss anything that doesn’t get used or has it’s used by expired.

Once this is completed, continue to empty out your entire bathroom of all its contents so that you are basically starting with a clean slate.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

• Family-friendly, natural shower cleaner OR NEST bathroom bomb recipe.
• Our DIY Mould Oil of Clove, Mould Killer
• A toothbrush (not for your teeth but to get into those small, hard to reach spaces)
• Sponge/scourer
• Natural Dishwashing Liquid – NEST likes Earth Choice (this is great for inside your toilets and your sinks)
• Mirror cleaner and squeegee
• Plenty of Rags/cloths.

WHERE TO START WHEN SPRING CLEANING YOUR BATHROOM?

Step By Step Guide

1. Start with the Shower/Bathtub

Usually, the best place to start is with the shower/bathtub. I usually give this a thorough wash so that the surface is wet, then with our DIY shower bomb recipe and some additional liquid detergent, I get scrubbing!!
The toothbrush comes in handy when working in corners and small grooves, helping to remove any build-up etc.

It’s also a good idea to clean out/check your drain. A nasty thought, I know but it’s a necessary one.
Once you have completed the shower and bath, remember to wipe it dry.

This prevents streaks and prepares it for our DIY mould killer. When the shower is dry I spray on NEST DIY mould killer. This not only removes mould but also kills it. I leave this on until I have my first shower so that it can sit and work its magic.

2. Move on to the draws and cupboards

Next, I start cleaning out the draws and cupboards and then placing everything back neatly. It’s also a great time to get some drawer organisers or containers, etc., to store items in. We love our Medicine Tins that we bought from Kmart. They are perfect for storing our medications, creams, etc., and keeping everything organised. We actually have two of these!

3. Then the sink and bench

Once the draws are completed, it’s time to clean your sink and bench, again making sure that you leave this area dry once cleaned.
You can also find great ways to display your favourite things, buy a nice looking and smelling hand wash, place a vase of flowers and greenery. Careful not to clutter this space, as it can be easy to do; less is more in this space.

4. The Toilet

Next, give your toilet a good scrubbing and wipe down. Add some drops of oil once finished, and allow it to sit so that the next time you flush, you get a beautiful smell.

5. Walls and Fronts

Lastly, I polish and wipe down all the walls, or in my case, the wall tiles and fronts of cupboards. I use a window cleaner to get this streak-free and sparkling.

6. Extras

Now that you have a perfectly spring-cleaned bathroom, you can work on the finer details like:

• Getting some bright new towels and hand towels
• Buying a beautiful pump/hand soap and hand cream to sit on your sink
• Adding a small vase or indoor plant is also a great way to create a calming environment
• Add a candle or a few nice yet useful and appropriate accessories, and put your personal touch

Now you can run yourself a well-earned bath or shower and pamper yourself in your newly Cleaned Bathroom.

Frequently Asked Questions About Spring Cleaning Your Bathroom

Q: How often should I deep clean my bathroom in Brisbane?

A: In Brisbane’s humid climate, we recommend a thorough spring deep clean once a year and a lighter clean every 4–6 weeks to prevent mould and soap scum buildup.

Q: What’s the best way to remove mould from the shower in Brisbane?

A: After cleaning and drying the shower, spray a mould-killing solution and let it sit. Regular squeegeeing after showers and good ventilation also helps stop mould returning quickly.

Q: Should I clean the shower before or after the toilet?

A: Always clean the shower and bathtub first, then move to the sink, and clean the toilet last. This prevents spreading germs from the toilet to cleaner areas.

Q: What natural products work best for a family-friendly bathroom clean?

A: A mix of white vinegar, baking soda, and a little dish detergent makes an excellent natural cleaner for showers and sinks. Our NEST shower bomb recipe is also very effective and safe around kids and pets.

A: Wipe down surfaces daily or every few days with a microfibre cloth, use a squeegee in the shower after each use, and declutter regularly. A quick 10-minute weekly tidy makes
