Spring cleaning the bathroom may not sound like an appealing task, but checking this chore off your list takes you one step closer to a fresher home that's ready for spring and summer weather!

To help you get started, we are creating an ongoing series to show you some efficient ways to accomplish the spring cleaning process, room-by-room.

The Bathroom

Since this room is usually the one to get dirtiest easily, it requires extra attention during cleaning time. Your bathroom deserves a makeover, leaving it shiny and spotless! Here are some simple tasks to help make this dreaded chore a breeze.

Declutter

Are your cabinets and drawers overflowing? By eliminating clutter first, it will be much easier to clean your bathroom from top to bottom.

Beware of Expiration Dates

Your medicine cabinet is probably filled with medicine, makeup, skincare or hair products you've collected over the years. Take the time to sort through it all and throw away expired products.

Unused and Unloved

Some of the items in your bathroom might not have an expiration date, but if they have been sitting unused for a long time, it's probably a good indication that you should throw them away. Spring cleaning is all about fresh starts!

Reorganize and Redecorate

When placing items back in your cabinet, take a look at the packaging. Remove any unnecessary packaging (like boxes) or decant products into clear containers. Take it a step further and use baskets or bins to neatly organize everything from moisturizer to towels!

Clean

Cleaning the bathroom can be a much-loathed task but the end result is worth the effort!

Wash it All Away

If your shower curtain is machine washable, pop it in for a quick clean. The windows in your bathroom are also prone to grime and soap scum, so give them a thorough wash, too.

Freshen Up

An often overlooked spot in the bathroom is the drain itself. Freshen drains and unclog them with simple home solutions using baking soda, vinegar, and hot water!

Down and Grout

A quick clean of grout to remove discoloration can make all the difference in your bathroom, giving it a sparkling spring clean shine! After cleaning your tiles, check for any broken seals that might need replacing.

A Deep Clean

Every surface and fixture requires a good scrub in this room. Thoroughly clean the sinks, shower, bathtub, toilet and mirrors.

Don't forget to also carefully clean the fixtures - faucets and shower head - as well as any vents or fans.

Rejuvenate

After the cleaning is done, give your space new life with a few fresh updates and additions.

Add a Touch of Luxe

Treat your bathroom to some new decor. Add some greenery with an indoor plant, a painting for a splash of color, or scented candles.

And that's it, you're done!
