It can be a struggle to clean the house, lack of desire and it’s a big chore! Doing a few easy steps each day I find the bathroom can be easy to keep clean. Read my tips below to speed clean the bathroom, they will save you time and effort:
Multitask or designate
I used to love bathtime when the kids were little. We would sing and be silly, it was a real joyful way of spending time with the kids. While they were happily playing I would use the opportunity to give the bathroom a tidy.
- With young kids – tidy and clean the bathroom while the kids are splashing around in the bathtub.
- Older kids – as a part of the kids responsibilities get them to give the bathroom a quick clean before they go to bed.
Keep the surfaces clutter free
I have tried many times putting the kids toothbrushes in a ‘decorative’ toothbrush holder. I found that inside the holder got very grotty quickly and with little ones splashing water over the bench when using the basin I was always picking up items from the bench and wiping up water puddles around it. I found this fantastic plastic suction basket at the local supermarket (usually displayed on the poles amongst the isles) and it has been perfect. The toothbrushes are off the bench making it clutter free and so much easier for me to wipe the vanity top.
Clean the mirror
A very simple technique to make the bathroom look clean is by cleaning the mirror. I don’t know how they do it, but kids tend to get toothpaste splatter all over the place.
Try Chux Duets Bathroom a 2-cloth microfibre cleaning system, giving a streak-free shine to all mirrors, tap ware, tiles and shower screens. The Chux Duets unique wet and dry cleaning system allows you to clean surfaces with just water…. perfect forchemical free cleaning.
Store the cloths so you can easily access them, making cleaning that little bit easier. I keep the cloths on a hook in the cupboard for easy access.
Each cloth is designed for a specific job. Use cloth 1 wet to remove dirt and grime followed by cloth 2 dry, to absorb moisture and to buff and shine the surface. This system really is fuss free and leaves a beautiful streak free shine.
Wipe over the sink and tub
My kids use a lot of face washers, I don’t mind as I prefer they use a fresh one each when they have a shower each night, to scrub away all the dirt from their face (they use a shower sponge for the rest of their body). At the end of the day I use one of the washers to wipe over the bathtub and sink, removing any dirt and toothpaste. Alternatiely you could use the Bathroom Duets cloth 1 and then rinse.
Prevent mould
To help prevent mould open a window to let in fresh air and light, this will assist in decreasing the moisture.
Have a place for everything
Have a place/home for everything, using baskets, trays or boxes. Giving the kids no excuses for why they can’t put items where they belong.
Shine the taps
I think toothpaste splatter is the culprit to the bathroom looking messy, as mentioned above, splatters are left in the sink, mirror and even all over the tapware.
Using the Bathroom Duets cloth 1 will pick up all the dirt and splatters.
Then buff the tapware with cloth 2 to make them shiny again!
Straighten up towels
Ensure that the towels are neatly placed on the towel rail. Not only will this help them dry but it will help keep the bathroom looking tidy.
Regularly wash all linens
I wash all bathroom linens (towels and washers) once a week. The Duets microfibre cloths are also machine washable, pop these in the wash as well so you have clean and fresh cloths for the following week.
Then all you need to do is give the shower a scrub, give the vanity surface a good clean and mop the floor in your usual routine.
The Kitchen
Can’t forget the kitchen, this too can be easy to keep clean and tidy with a few simple tips:
- Wash all dirty dishes
- Clear the bench each evening and wipe over
- Quickly wipe over the splashbacks, cupboard doors before any spills harden up
Chux Duets also has a pack for the kitchen. The 2-cloth microfibre cleaning system will leave a lovely shine on all the high-gloss finishes like splashbacks, glass, stainless steel, bench tops and cupboards. Again making the quick clean up fuss and chemical free!
The Chux Duets are available at selected supermarkets.

I love cleaning my kitchen. I love cooking and inspiration can happen at anytime day or night (the joys of a shift worker). Kitchen is always cleaned last thing at night so it’s ready to go straight away the next time a recipe pops in my head
I prefer to clean the bathroom as its the one place that is often neglected in our house:( once its clean, its bright white and sparkly, and it makes the whole house feel clean and fresh. ..not to mention getting rid of germs and making everyone a bit easier to keep ‘sickie’ free xxx
I prefer to clean the kitchen! Once the kitchen is clean the rest of the house seems manageable. Plus it feels like we spend most of our time in the kitchen!
I have the kids help. When in the shower I spray the glass and tiles and they take it in turns in wiping. They also take it in turns to help me clean the toilet. With 2 boys I want to raise boys who know how to clean a bathroom.
I much prefer cleaning my kitchen than my bathroom. This is largely for one simple reason – there is no shower in the kitchen! I find cleaning the shower particularly burdensome. However, having just read about the Chux duet, perhaps these could make the job at least slightly more pleasent?
I prefer cleaning the kitchen as the build up of grime is quicker and easier to notice when not cleaned everyday.
The kitchen is my domain! I cannot rest until I have clutter free bench tops and I can hear the hum of the dishwasher. Oh and the peace and quiet from all 6 kids being in bed.
I prefer to clean the bathroom as my little cherubs 1 & 3 LOVE helping wet down surfaces for me as they splash about but the wetting agents they use in the kitchen (cake mixture, choccy milk, nutella) are a lot less helpful! 😀 xo
I like cleaning the kitchen. The bathroom is cold and not much fun to be in at this time of year.
I prefer cleaning my kitchen. It reminds me that I have been there cooking up a storm for my family, which is one way I like to show them how much I love them.
Cleaning the bathroom is one of my least favourite chores (esp the old grout scrub!) but after i’ve done it and im having a relaxing mummy’s bubble bath, there is nothing better! So i so prefer the bathroom as the daily/hourly clean up of the kitchen no longer brings me that kind of satisfaction!
The bathroom. As i spend a lot of time in the kitchen preparing meals etc its nice to retreat to a different part of the house. Also from the time we moved in together my husband has always been in charge of maintaining the kitchen. I tend to all other cleaning requirements but the kitchen is his responsibility. Its fantastic ????
I prefer to clean the kitchen – not only is it the hub of our household, but as it’s cleaned every day it’s a lot easier! The bathroom stresses me out, especially mirrors….
I tend to regularly wipe down the kitchen after I’ve cooked or prepared a meal, so that doesn’t seem such a chore when it comes time to do a full clean. Cleaning the bathroom is much less fun and is laborious because I don’t clean as I go in the same way.
I find cleaning the bathroom more satisfying because it’s so much quicker and easier to clear the clutter and get it clean. Maybe when I stop the kitchen being everyone’s (me too!) spot to put down the day’s debris I will feel differently!
Neither ?? But I do like some serious order in my house, and with three (very) young children I’d love some ‘Duets’ to make the job quick and easy X
Sorry was supposed to be a smile after ‘neither’…not question marks 🙂
lol Molly it’s OK I question cleaning sometimes too 🙂
I actually like cleaning both as they are the 2 areas that have to be clean at all times to me. But to choose one would be the kitchen as all doors except the boys bedroom remain closed so my 15 month old can’t get into mischief so the kitchen remains visible at all times.
I also love to cook and keeping 3 boys fed and full I feel as though I live in the kitchen!
I’m not a fan of cleaning but always feel like everything else is more manageable when my kitchen is clean. Then I can tackle the bathroom!
Hmmmm…. I can’t really say I enjoy either partially! Perhaps the bathroom because it is smaller and rewarding to see the through that shower glass once it’s clean! Having two young boys the wet areas certainly cop a beating so small tips and new product ideas certainly help to inspire!
Struggle with the bathroom especially the showerscreen
grime – does my head in!! Kitchen is where the heart is probably why it is much easier in keeping it tidy and clean.
I prefer to clean the kitchen. It’s my place to create clean healthy food and so it’s important that I have a clean work space to do so. I avoid chemicals altogether and can become compulsive about it at times 😉 My natural cleaning alternatives work a treat for all my wet areas. I believe “Everything has a place and a place for everything,” just to convince the other inhabitants of my abode of this! Lol.
Kitchen for sure! I love to see my appliances shine, the chrome glitter and my reflection in my gloss doors???? nothing beats creating amazing dishes in a organised clean environment.
They both give the same satisfaction when cleaned completely but I have to admit the bathroom is always left last because I have to turn my back to 3 kids under 4 when I do it.
I prefer cleaning my bathroom, I will spend up to an hour making it shine. Love my bathroom to be sparkly clean so it gives me that resort look and feel, afterall it is the one place I can retreat in peace! For some unknown reason noone else wants to clean the bathroom either! Have tried all types of cleaners looking for the perfect cleaning regime and have to say these Chux Duets are what I need!
I much prefer the kitchen as I feel like cooking in a spotless kitchen helps motivate me to cook wholesome and delicious foods for my family. With 3 males in the house, the cleaning of the bathroom on the other hand seems to always be an enormous task that I dread as I never know where to start!
I prefer to clean the kitchen as it is the first impression of the house. If it is clean, the house feels more manageable! I aim to do the dishes each night with a quick sweep so in the morning it feels like a clean slate to begin!
I prefer to keep the kitchen clean and tidy. I feel because this area is the hub of the house, it makes the rest of the house appear tidier. Having the right tools to keep the glass, stainless steel and stone clean also helps! And… I can’t close the door on my kitchen like I can shut off the bathroom!!
I prefer to keep the kitchen clean so that when I get up to make a bottle for my baby at stupid o’clock I give him milk not gravy powder.
i prefer cleaning the bathroom. I like the bench free of clutter. Always nice to see when it is clean and fresh and trying to keep family out so it stays that way for at least 5 minutes.
Options to clean 2 bathrooms or 1 kitchen….definitely I take the kitchen option. The kids use the main bathroom to brush their teeth (toothpaste splatter everywhere) because they sing while brushing their teeth and the electric toothbrush is not brushing but splattering and then bath time is in our bathroom. I really struggle to find good cleaning products that still remain hygienic to re-use again and again. I take to using bathroom wet wipes but then this really doesn’t help the environment.
The kitchen is the heart of our home, so when it’s clean and sparkling I feel a great deal more organised and ready to tackle my ‘to-do’ list. In saying that, I would love to try those Chux cloths on my bathroom, they look great!
I prefer to clean the kitchen. Once the dishes are done and the bench is wiped over I feel I can relax for the evening. It’s so nice to start dinner preparations, packing lunches or making breakfast with a clear bench. I use Chux wipes and a homemade spray but I’d like to try the Chux microfibre cloths, they sound great for the job.
Definitely prefer to clean the kitchen, as there is no toilet to clean!! I gag every time!! 🙂
I prefer the kitchen because it just seems easier and I have more motivation to do it, BUT the place that needs the most attention is my bathroom! I always feel like that’s the embarrassing part of my house because it gets neglected and it’s the one place I panic about before guests arrive! I’d love to not feel that panic anymore and maintain it better.
Well I don’t know about you but I live in my kitchen lol! I’m thinking about moving my bed there to save myself time. Truthfully I installed a high gloss kitchen and it’s horrendous to try and keep clean so I would love these cloths to save my sanity! Help a sister out ??

When I wake up…well I know I’m goanna be, I’m Goanna be the girl who cleans up after you…..when I come home….I know I’m goanna be, I’m goanna be the girl who cleans up after you…
Well I would walk 500 hundred mile s, and I would walk 500 more just to be the girl who has chux delivered to her door,
Okay so you have to be thinking like the proclaimers for that to work, I’m not a fan of cleaning at all but I like the results. If I had to pick it would have to be the kitchen as a clean sparkly kitchen makes me want to cook. So I’m forever cleaning my kitchen.
bathroom definitely. There’s something nice about shiny taps and glass and a fresh smelling bathroom, and I like it clean and neat for any visitors too!
Lately, I find cleaning the bathroom weekly easier and therapeutic. Crazy I know. I love the feeling I get when I’ve finished cleaning and do a final wipe down with some eucalyptus oil. The bathroom positively sparkles. To stay on top of it, I keep some wipes handy in the cabinet for mid-week wipe down.
Getting up to a clean kitchen sets the tone for the day! A shiny sink is like a great big smile! A clean kitchen makes it easy for my family to make their breakfast and lunches and get set up for a great start to school and work. Who wants to fight for counter space and make food in the middle of a mess?!
I prefer to clean the bathroom. It’s so satisfying to have it clean and clutter free and the upside is, unlike the kitchen, no-one goes in 5 minutes later to make a snack and so it stays clean for the rest of the day!!
The idea of hanging the cleaning cloths under the bathroom sink is the best cleaning tip I’ve come across. When I think about the time it takes to wipe down the surfaces when the cloth is hanging and ready, it’s really no bother as you walk past. Thank you, I love this tip, it’s going to save me so much time xx
you just have to make things easy for yourself sometimes Nicole, if it’s too hard it won’t get done!
I recently bought the bathroom duets and I also love Katrina’s suggestion of hanging them in the cupboard. I’m off to the shops to get 2 hooks!
I much prefer cleaning the kitchen. To me, it’s one of the most important areas of the home…where meals are prepared, so it NEEDS to be clean at all times. Once that is done I seem to have a clearer headspace for cleaning the rest of the house ????
I love your tips as I already keep on top of the bathrooms as mentioned by you. Although, I would love to pick up your tip of keeping the cleaning cloths hung up and handy…much easier than having to fetch them from the laundry!
Thank you ????
My kitchen is quite a visual part of our home so I really like to keep it clean and tidy. If it’s messy it seems to flow through to the rest of the living areas appearing messy even though they are tidy.
The kitchen, I always do the dishes every night after dinner, dry them and put them away. Wipe the benches as I go, and also the cupboard doors. The fridge is a breeze with labelled storage containers,meat, dairy, a double pull out plastic wire drawers, divides the cheese. The oven I wipe out everytime you use it, it keeps it sparkling clean. The only gripe is the floor, but thats when Iroomba vac (Norman) my girlfriends is called Harvey. (Harvey Norman) where he came from. Problem sorted…now for a cuppa
I love the idea of hanging the clothes inside the bathroom cupboard. I end up wiping things over with tissues or wet wipes because they are at arms reach!!
It’s the kitchen for me. The room that can be seen from all living spaces in the house and that gets a constant workout from my constantly hungry (and messy) brood. There is something extremely satisfying to me to see clean surfaces after all our bellies are full (My pre-children self is rolling its eyes right about now!)
I prefer to clean the bathroom! It is much quicker and tidier as i use the used face washer to wipe down. I have 2 little boys and a husband that love to use every cup, plate and bowl in the house so the kitchen takes a while!!
I prefer the Kitchen it’s easy to do,
The bathroom is lots to get through!
The shower, vanity, loo and floors,
It’s mess galore!
I love my kitchen and cooking but I feel more in control if my bathroom is sparkling clean. With two young boys it can get very messy with their curiosity with water, teeth cleaning, “helping” mum clean with their wet flannels. When the tub is clean, mirror streak free, vanity dry I feel like its all going to be ok 🙂
I clean the shower whilst in it saves me getting in there later and I always squeegee the water off the screens to prevent soap scum
It has to be the kitchen. With 3 boys in the house the bathroom is never a pretty sight or smell!
I’m a clean kitchen fan. It’s where I prepare food and my family eats, so things have to be hygienic. My kitchen is the place where I entertain friends so again it’s a place where people need to feel comfortable and relaxed.
I prefer the kitchen. It is one of the first rooms people see when they come to my house. And if it looks untidy I can’t sit and relax.
As long as the kitchen/dining/lounge room is tidy, I can close off the rest of the house. Its out of sight, out of mind.
Kitchen! My bathroom is old & so hard to keep clean, feels like I just waste my time when I do clean it.
I prefer to clean my kitchen because I clean it more regularly, making it a more manageable job. Cleaning the bathroom often seems like an overwhelming chore! So far I haven’t found any product that inspires me to clean our bathroom more often. I love the organised housewife’s ‘Tips to speed clean the bathroom’ and am excited to try Chux bathroom duets. They sound like just what I need! Can’t wait to tell me friends about them too????
No comparison for me – the kitchen – as I can do it all standing up. The bathroom requires time on my hands and knees which my joints don’t enjoy! On the other hand, our two Master 9’s and one Miss 7 love to scrub the shower glass so much during shower time they often forget to clean themselves…
Short & Sweet, cleaning the kitchen is a treat, its the last job of the day then lights out and off duty!!!!
It would have to be the bathroom as the kitchen sink is never empty. One pile of dishes is done, then the next is already waiting. The bathroom at least stays empty for most of the day!
I prefer cleaning the kitchen as all my cleaning products are there. Also my kitchen is nicer and newer, so easier to clean and keep clean! It is always a bit of a drag to clean my bathroom as it is so old and also because there is no where to keep cleaning supplies, there is no cupboard to keep them!
i love cleaning my bathroom as its white with silver taps and once its clean it sparkles
I prefer to clean my kitchen as I love to have it neat when I walk in the door from a hard day at work. You can always close the bathroom door – no door on my kitchen!!! LOL
I prefer to clean the bathroom, as much easier, to tidy and clean being smaller I have things in tubs as you do, but I also have a yellow cloth for toilets, I love colour coding LOL, so each bathroom has a yellow cloth as well so I can do the loo’s, but love your idea of the hooks, so off to buy some hooks now!!
Love the satisfaction of having a tidy kitchen, not a huge fan of the process tho! We’re about to move into a new house and I’m worried about keeping it all looking clean and new so would love to give the Chux Duets a go. They sound great and with a new baby anything chemical free is very appealing.
I don’t really like either! But I LOVE the examples of organising the bathroom space. My 3 boys are great at cleaning themselves and their teeth etc. BUT terrible at leaving the evidence that they have been there!!! I haven’t ever used the Chux cleaning duets, but would definitely love to give them a go (and teach the boys how to use them!). Hanging them in the cupboard is fantastic! 🙂 Making things easy for the kids to be involved is always the way to go – Thanks 🙂
The bathroom door keeps the mess out of sight so when I enter I get a fright! The kitchen however, is in plain view so keeping it clean I simply must do! There is nothing worse than grotty food stains so the kitchen takes precedence while the bathroom remains. Dirty.
Hi Kat I love walking into both the kitchen and bathroom gleaming but the kitchen certainly is more of an up keep in our house just satisfying walking into s tidy kitchen ready for the day ahead ! Iam very fortunate to have a country kitchen in an off white which is really hard to keep spills and finger marks at bay so I would love some chux duets to make that job a little easier without chemicals ! Great tip hanging the cloths at easy reach inside the cupboard door I always look to your website for inspiration keep up the great work ????
The kitchen is the hub of our home and the first room any visitors see so if I have to keep something clean, it’s the kitchen. Maybe the Chux Duets might inspire me to clean and actually enjoy it?
The kitchen is central to everything that goes on at home so it’s important to me to keep it clean. With two small children it’s easier to clean and keep an eye on them than in the bathroom. Not to mention we are slowly renovating our house and have put in a new kitchen but still need to replace the bathroom, so at least when I clean the kitchen it looks clean, unlike the bathroom!
I prefer cleaning the bathroom as with 3 teenagers ( 2 of them boys) the kitchen is never closed and almost impossible to keep tidy unless they are away. Although with the chux duets it would be a lot easier to wipe everything over and then throw them in the wash weekly.
I love cleaning the bathroom which gets done every morning after the kids and husband have finished in there it gives me great pleasure to see the bathroom free of long hair, toothpaste gone from the vanity and mirror, and talcum powder curtesy of my husband mopped up from the floor
even with the great chux products i hate house work, so i would pick the bathroom because it is small and easier to clean
I love my bathroom and kitchen clean..I speed clean every couple days so the job isnt so daunting…love my bottle of Citrokleen and my chux clothes makes me feel better
By far and away my favourite room to clean in our house is our bathroom!! It has just been renovated and the rest of the house is still very dated. We’ll get to the rest eventually…
I prefer to clean my bathroom because my children (6 & 3) love to help – it’s a much safer area for them to clean independently too.
I much prefer to clean the kitchen as my partner tends to just dump stuff on the bench so its just a matter of picking up his stuff and giving the benches a quick wipe. I love when my sink and taps are sparkling!
I prefer to clean my kitchen. I cant stand a dirty sink. If you wash dishes when meal is finished then it looks much tidier. Also wipe benches down each time you wash dishes. Less chance of bench tops being stained.
Love..a strong word. But the bathroom is the most rewarding job. It can look transformed after 4 kids create carnage in the morning.
I’d much rather clean the kitchen than the bathroom. I find it much easier to remove grease and grime than try to keep on top of soap scum which seems to be irremovable without a jackhammer
I prefer cleaning my kitchen as it better be clean and free of any contaminants as I begin cooking for my little one’s first tastes of food. And, I am a cleaning freak if ever I have some other family member cook in my kitchen I go about cleaning it thoroughly so it’s back to my shiny hygienic kitchen
The kitchen is my domain after tea is finished. My wife baths the girls and I clean up the dishes etc & make sure we have a clean slate for the next day.
I love to clean my bathroom. My kitchen is always clean but the bathroom is from another planet. So after I have cleaned it looks amazing.
I hate cleaning both equally. I am not a fan of cleaning, just the result. A necessary evil, but I guess if I had to choose I’d go with the kitchen seeing it is the room that is most commonly viewed.
I love to keep both my kitchen and bathrooms clean. It just makes me feel organised and when my children help it is a great time to chat about what’s been happening..
I enjoy having a super clean and organised house and I don’t generally see cleaning as a chore. But sometimes when I am cleaning my kitchen for what seems like the 100th time in the same day (I have 3 hungry kids to feed), I remember a latin lesson we had in high-school about a poor guy called Sisyphus… For some reasons the gods decided to punish him and as a punishment he had to push a rock up a mountain but as soon as he was up the rock would roll down again and he had to start over again and again for eternity. I reckon sometime cleaning the bathroom and kitchen is a bit like the punishment of poor Sisyphus… eternal circle of dirty, clean, dirty, clean…
I prefer to clean my bathrooms. With 3 kids 2 teenage boys and a 10 year old girl our bathroom gets very messy, I really don’t know how all that toothpaste gets every where. I love a clean fresh bathroom. Nothing better. Now to teach the kids
Unless my kitchen is tidy I can’t seem to concentrate on moving forward with any other projects, cleaning or work anywhere else around my home. Making it sparkle at night puts a smile on my face when I’m the first to walk into it each morning…..especially the sink gleaming from the morning sunshine!!
The kitchen needs to be clean and tidy it’s where u prepare food for the family
It need to be hygienic that’s why I prefer cleaning the kitchen as it’s High kn my priory list to be apostles with Chux kitchen duets it would make hard work a breeze .
The bathroom is definitely my preferred cleaning room as once clean it at least stays clean for a little while. Whereas the kitchen never rests and I’m forever cleaning.
Bathroom – hands down!! I will always tackle the bathroom & toilet (seperate in our house) first as that has the most germs and brings the most satisfaction to me, with that clean smell and shiny look. My partner still doesn’t understand how it brings me happiness haha 🙂
I infinitely prefer cleaning the bathroom! Every household I have lived in – flatmates, as a couple and now a family – it has been my job. I love the excuse to splash a bit (ok, a lot) of water around 🙂
I prefer the kitchen as it is in the middle hub of the house and just saddens me if it is not clean. The bathroom is upstairs out of sight and not in your face
If I had to choose, it would be the kitchen. It’s right in the centre of our house, there’s always something happening there. Maybe that’s why it’s sometimes called the heart of the home. When it’s clean and ordered, everything else seems a bit easier to manage.
I’m just in awe of your neat bathroom cupboards. When you open ours it’s like a toiletry avalanche! You’re right about the mirror and tap splatter, a little wipe will make the world of difference!
I prefer to clean my kitchen as with two young kids I feel like I spend most of my day in there feeding the kids! I did get the kids to help clean the bathroom venetians the other night whilst they were in the bath. Why did i not think of this before, it was easy! The chux duets would definately of helped to clean them. I need some!
I prefer to clean the kitchen because it’s central in the house, the first room everyone sees and I don’t have the mould problem there.
Kids & husband
Imagine
The
Cleaning
Helper (mum)
Enjoys cleaning the bathroom
No
I prefer the kitchen as it’s the hub of the house and the whole house looks tidier if the kitchen is clean
Id rather clean the kitchen as that where I spend most of my time everyday.
I prefer cleaning the bathroom. It’s smaller so it’s easier to get everything sparkly. Also most of the typical bathroom clutter has a place so counters and surfaces are easier to clear before cleaning.
I love cleaning my kitchen. Being a single mum to 5 beautiful kids, I encourage their independence. They love cooking and making a mess. I let them go and be creative, then come along afterwards and help clean up. Works well for our little family.
When I clean my bathroom it seems to stay clean for at least half an hour (toilet training). Kitchen only stays clean for 5mins it feels like and is a constant job because I can see it all day. So more satisfaction from cleaning the bathroom 🙂
I love to clean the bathroom, I fee like that’s where most germs and bacteria are, only problem is keeping it clean I feel like I can clean it every hour
I prefer bathroom because with 4 kids my bathroom has toothpaste hair brushes and accesories and i dont even want to know what else everywhere, sink, mirror if it can attract yuck and grime it will have some. So a good clean leaves it sparkle smelling clean and me feeling accomplished. Even if it is only until they get home from school and a kiddy tornado rips through.
Definitely the bathroom! There is something about a sparkling white sink and shining mirror that takes all my sadness and stress away! Straight towels is one of my biggest things so I’m glad you mentioned it! (And what’s wrong with male’s brains that they just cannot understand this!? He says he has a ‘towel fairy’ who does it so he doesn’t bother!) ??
After spending 6 weeks relying on my husband to clean (I was laid up after an op) I would have loved to clean the bathroom. Walking into a clean fresh bathroom would have and be amazing . I could put up with the kitchen being a bit grotty but I love the bathroom. The duets sound amazing, and so quick and easy I’m sure I could even train my husband to use them. I find the kitchen is constantly being used in our house and harder to keep clean but the bathroom, once cleaned is great for a day or two if I’m lucky. So my vote is bathroom.
The bathroom, I like to wipe mine down every day after I get out the shower. When I found these Chux Duets they were a GOD SENT. They are awesome and make my job so much quicker and easier, because who wants to spend hours scrubbing bathrooms. The cloths are awesome quality and last so long even after washing so many times. Great PRODUCT Chux, thank you.
The kitchen as I turn up the volume and sing/dance as I wipe, sweep and tidy! Now that I say that out loud – I should use the same approach for the bathroom.
the bathroom as there is less clutter there!
I prefers clean my kitchen because it’s the centre of our house and if it’s shining sparkling clean I feel like the rest of the house is clean too (even if it’s not ????).
I prefer the bathroom because when I’m done I can shut the door and know that it will remain clean for at least the next 20-30 minutes!! I can’t say that about the kitchen!
My rule is frequent, small steps…I too clean the bathroom with the kids in the bath and a little bit every time I walk through keeps it looking pretty good.
I’m about to have 4 under 6 years old, so yes please, anything that helps with the cleaning and budget would be welcome in my house!!!
Definitely prefer cleaning the kitchen! The bathroom makes me cry when I try to clean it. I’ve let the shower screen and grout go too long that the soap scum build up is massive and beyond anything I can do! I’ve tried all sorts of chemicals which I hate using but it never makes a dent! So I stick with making my kitchen nice and clean instead…and that makes me happy!! Because I can actually get it clean! 🙂
Definetly the kitchen! I am surrounded by boys – 2 sons and a hubby…. so needless to say our bathroom is a tad gross!
If I can find something that makes it easier and quicker – I AM ALL FOR IT!!!!
🙂
The kitchen, I can shut the door on the bathroom and pretend it doesn’t need doing…
I prefer the bathroom because my husband does it! Lol seriously though when I do clean the bathroom I love how our white tiles shine, sink tap sparkles and there is nothing better then a clean toilet! I clean the kitchen but if I had to choose if swap with my husband!
I prefer to clean by bathroom. Always have. My friends think I am mad but I find it very therapeutic. I also have my husband hooked to wipe the shower glass with a squeegy every morning.
I prefer the bathroom – I feel more reward when the bathroom is clean and it’s easier. For less effort there’s more shiny surfaces… I’m easy to please. ????
I prefer the bathroom – I feel more reward when the bathroom is clean and it’s easier. For less effort there’s more shiny surfaces… I’m easy to please. ????
Scum, I hate it in all forms! Bathroom scum, pond scum, human scum LOL!
I don’t particularly like cleaning but I love to keep my kitchen clean because it’s where I live. A clean kitchen allows me to cook scrumptious things for my family; an expression of my love for them 🙂 Help me clean it quicker so I can love them more!
Giving the bathroom a proper clean is an event for me. I plan my bathroom cleaning time for when there are no kids around. I gather my cleaning supplies, turn up the music and go for it. I get time to my self, a cleaning ‘workout’ and a sparkling bathroom all at the same time. Definitely prefer the bathroom.
I like cleaning our ensuite bathroom, when my hubby gets home from his long drive to work he loves seeing a clean bathroom, something of a rarity at the moment with a 5 month old!
I love cleaning my kitchen especially after our baking days I have with my 3 year old son! He loves rolling our goodies we made in coconut. And cleaning it reminds me of the fun we had & how much he loves to cook!!
I love a clean kitchen and bathroom. But I don’t enjoy cleaning them. For the sanity of my family a clean kitchen bench, dishwasher on makes for a much more pleasant morning.
My preference is absolutely the kitchen. Like many others who have commented, our kitchen is central to our household, probably because the kids are always in there eating ! Having a clean kitchen gives me a sense of accomplishment and feeds my motivation to maintain the rest of the housework. I haven’t tried the chux duets but will defiantly try them after reading all the posts ! Thank you for the tips – always helpful ????
I prefer cleaning the kitchen as I can clean up as I’m cooking and eat as well!..
I’ve never managed to get the kids to clean the bathroom but they do a bit in the kitchen
If you look at what I clean the most – it’s the kitchen. I can’t pull out food to make something if the benches are messy I don’t want to get sick. Since I seem to walk in the kitchen often, we all need to drink, if the kitchen is clean I feel better. But there are times I just walk away as its too messy. Anything to help would be appreciated. Thanks
I’d prefer to clean the Kitchen any day as I have 4 messy children who create havoc in my bathroom, no matter how hard I try to stop them, they still make a daily mess. The oldest is a teenager and has started popping pimples on the mirror!! HELP!!
I prefer to have a clean Kitchen as it is the heart of the home and sees so much traffic during the day! If the kitchen is a mess it stresses me out when I walk through it but a tidy kitchen makes me feel on top of things which makes me more productive! Also, it is much easier to cook meals in a tidy kitchen! Having to do a load of dishes and tidying so I can see the bench first does not inspire me to cook!
I actually hate doing either but I guess if only had to choose to do one – the bathroom as it always looks clean when it’s done whereas the kitchen doesn’t have the same sparkle.
The kitchen clean has now become part of my routine,
The bathroom though, oh how I wish it would glow!
So the question you ask, it’s a difficult task,
But the answer must be, the bathroom for me ????
Should be a smiley face not questions marks tehe!
Kitchen for sure! I love cleaning my kitchen. If my house is an absolute mess (3 kids under 3) and I’m losing my mind, cleaning my kitchen calms me. Weird, right? I get such a feeling of accomplishment if my kitchen is sparkling and organised. It’s like my who life is suddenly calm. Being in the middle of the house it also has a huge impact on how the living areas look. If they’re messy but the kitchen is clean, then it makes everything else look ok. If the living areas are tidy but the kitchen is a mess, the whole house may as well be because it drags everything else down.
My bathrooms don’t get super messy. I don’t hate cleaning them but I don’t get quite the same satisfaction from them.
My bathroom never looks clean with three kids splashing their toothpaste around! With Chux Duets even the kids could help keep it clean(er). I wrote this to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star:
Dusty, dusty bathroom shelf
How I wish you’d clean yourself.
Mirrors, taps and bath scum too,
Chux Duets how I love you.
Sparkly, sparkly, clean and new
The kids can use Chux Duets too.
I hate cleaning both kitchen & bathroom with a passion ….I would rather shovel horse manure, however I find the bathroom the easiest
The Kitchen – as you see it first, and I mess it up, so I clean it up!! Kids constantly mess up bathroom twice a day, so forever cleaning it, drives me nuts and can’t wait till they are older to take responsibility for it.
Kitchen over bathroom; it’s the ‘heart of the home’ and makes such a difference to the overall look of the home when it’s clean. It never lasts for long though with a family of 5!
Call me crazy but the bathroom is my favourite room to clean, there’s just something about a clean bathroom that calms me. Its relatively easy to maintain if you keep on top of it and once you’re done, you’re done…there’s not that one last cup or container that magically makes it’s way to the sink when you’ve just let the water out 😉
Hi there
I love to clean the bathroom (as my kitchen I cleaned and wipe every night as I don’t won’t to see the mess 1 st thing in the morning :))
I am really fussy about bathroom cleaning . We like shinny , sparkly bathroom and keeping habit of CAG – clean as you go !!!
Such great ideas Kat! Cleaning the bathroom is my least favourite job – especially the shower. These will definitely make it a bit easier!
I enjoy cleaning the bathroom because it gives me the happiest feeling as the kids only use it twice a day but the kitchen has a constant supply of clean and dirty dishes and mess ???? There’s something to be said about sparkling tiles ????
I hate cleaning the kitchen. With two toddlers and husband I’m always cooking and cleaning! But I love cleaning our bathroom, my husband’s renovated it himself. He’s done a wonderful job and it’s the place i go to remind myself of our hopes and dreams. For this reason there’s no clutter or dirt allowed!
I feel like I’m so much more organised and I’ve got my “life together” when my bathroom is clean. I clean my kitchen daily, but when my bathroom is clean, I feel like my whole house is clean and sparkling. I don’t “love” doing it, and I am always looking for products to make the job easier and for my bathroom to shine. A clean bathroom is so important for when guests visit and I think it’s one way to make them feel more comfortable, welcome and at home. No one likes a sticky, grimy bathroom.
My fave would be the kitchen,
it’s a walk-through and it’s visible.
But to face my grimy bathroom,
Only makes me miserable!
To be entirely honest, I hate cleaning. And, I hate chemicals. I also hate a messy bathroom and a messy kitchen, But….as I am the mother or three great but messy children and a husband who helps when he can but doesn’t mind mess and dirt – well I’m up against it!! Anything that can help make my life more pleasant would be wonderful. As I spend a LOT of my time in the kitchen, I guess this is where I spend more time cleaning up. So I guess if I had to make a choice – I’d say I prefer to clean in the kitchen. The toilets and bathrooms just have to wait until I have the time and the motivation!
I live in a house with 3 men hubby and 2 teenagers so my cleaning happen with lighting speed and lots of elbow grease lol
my kitchen gets a clean up while cooking tea and diswasher on straight after
bathroom gets a tidy up while brushing teeth and taking a shower
i hate house work so i love anything that makes my life easy and can get me in and out fast
I prefer cleaning the bathroom as I usually do it whilst I am having a shower and can do two things at once, especially using microfibre cloths as there are no fumes and gentle on septic tank.!
I prefer cleaning the kitchen because it is the heart space of our home. Its where people congregate and share with each other. When my kitchen is clean, even if everything else is a mess, I feel okay.
Id rather clean the kitchen as that where I spend most of my time everyday.
Definitely the kitchen. cannot get up early every morning and be able to think clearly about what needs to go into the kid’s lunch boxes that day if I’m surrounded by mess. Clear kitchen, clear mind, healthy lunch boxes…happy kids, happy mum! ????
Neither!! As I’m a shift worker and live alone it’s quite often that the sandwich plate and tea cup just get rinsed and stacked for washing. Then when I’ve got enough washing up its a big chore!
Bathroom much easier as I clean it while I’m in it (trying not to suffocate on fumes). I have just found that dryer sheets cut through the build up in the glass screens though and smell better than bleach. You do still have to squeegee the screen to stop the streaks 🙁
I prefer to clean the kitchen. It’s the first place guests see in my house, and it’s where we tend to socialise. If my kitchen is clean then I feel more in control and can tackle anything else in the house. If it’s clean then the rest of the house doens’t seem as bad…
I prefer to clean the kitchen as its the one I spend the most time in! However, I do love to have clean bathrooms and one day when the kids are older perhaps I’ll get time to spend longer in the bath 😉
i love cleaning both, anything is better than vacuuming! But there’s something about scrubbing the toilet that is very satisfying lol
Neither ?? But I find I wipe down the bench tops regularly as I’m cooking or brushing my teeth, I feel more accomplished.
Both – they are public areas and need to be kept clean. In the kitchen all benches and hotplates are wiped at night and dishwasher put on. Nice to come out to in the morning. Same thing in the bathroom. A quick wipe of the mirror and benches with a quick sweep of the floor (football training and grass!!!) and it is good to go. An Airwick dispenser also keeps the bathroom smelling lovely.
I definitely enjoy cleaning my kitchen the most. We have a lovely open-plan home so when the kitchen is clean and clutter-free it makes the entire living area feel clean. The bathroom is not too bad, but boys can be messy and it’s a constant battle.
I definitely prefer cleaning my kitchen, we have recently renovated it so having a new & clean kitchen makes me happy! Bathroom is a lot harder to keep under control with two little busy boys!!
I like cleaning my bathroom… It’s the only time I can clean and no one comes in as they are scared I’ll get them to scrub the shower. So this allows me to have some time to myself.. Sad but true.
I much prefer cleaning my kitchen because I always end up gagging whilst cleaning my toilet!! At least it’s just food I’m wiping up in the kitchen!! ;0)
I prefer to clean the kitchen for 2 reasons:
1. I love cooking and there is nothing worse then having to move things around or wash bits and pieces while trying to cook.
2. It doesn’t matter how much I scrub I can’t get the water marks off the shower screen. It just depresses me.
As a rule I would always rather clean the bathroom first in case I have a visitor who needs to use the bathroom & we have all been into a bathroom we would rather not use . Of course the kitchen is also important from a health and hygeine perspective. Lets face it , we just have to get down and clean it all , it feels so good & looks so good when it is done !
Definitely the BATHROOM. How easy is it to wash the bathroom , just put the kids in the bath. By the time you’ve wiped up all the water. Hey presto, clean.
I much prefer to clean the kitchen because it is the centerpiece of our house, all the family fun happens around here and it is always on display. I hate cleaning the bathroom because no one ever sees it except for your family and they never appreciate the effort it takes.
Our Kitchen – it’s the heart and hub of our home, where meals are prepared with love and everyone gathers around. Keeping it beautifully Duet clean, glistening, so it runs like a mighty machine.
I love cleaning!! Said no one ever hihi.. But there’s something about a clean, streak free sink that really gets my satisfaction levels bubbling.. I enjoy cleaning the kitchen sink and benches, and I don’t leave the house at all unless theyre done.. I’m happy for the bathroom sink to get a once over every morning and night, but its the love in the kitchen through of meals prepared for my house of princes that makes it my fave by far xx
Kitchen is my fave place to clean, my favourite memories are made here, from dancing with my hubby and daughters to cooking up family recipes to long phone calls and chats with family and friends. I love to clean it also as it’s the place where everyone that comes to my home ends up in while I make them a cuppa and as long as they don’t need to use the bathroom I look like I am on top of it all!
I prefer cleaning myself, in my bathroom, in a long hot steaming shower. With my eyes closed. So nothing looks dirty therefore nothing needs to be cleaned. The water washing any dirt down the drain. Easily. Without any effort. My favourite kind of bathroom cleaning.
I definitely prefer the kitchen because that’s my favourite space. I gave up an extra bedroom to get a bigger kitchen so I would certainly call it my baby. And it doesn’t feel like a chore cleaning & maintaining my baby
I prefer to clean the kitchen! If my kitchen is a mess them I am a mess!! The kitchen is the hub for most families. When my kitchen is dirty my whole house seems dirty to me. Not to mention I have 3 bathrooms in my house so the kitchen takes less time!
I don’t enjoy cleaning either. I find it easier to keep on top of cleaning the kitchen as I do it more regularly (each evening before bed). The bathroom on the other hand builds up so it is a much bigger job. I do like the way the bathroom shines when I’ve finished cleaning it though.
Oh I’d much rather clean the bathroom! If you do it regularly, it feels so much more rewarding to see a shiny sink and clean bath! With 3 children under 6 though, and 3 bathrooms that all get used, it’s a pretty constant job! Thanks for the chance to try out this amazing looking chemical-free product!
I prefer to clean the bathroom because it’s quicker. I’m trying to encourage my husband to cook more, so when every surface of the kitchen is covered in food/food prep I can’t get cross, but instead cheer him on and then spend an hour cleaning up. Once he has the cooking down I’ll move onto the cleaning #husbandtraining
I love cleaning my kitchen.
Nothing feels right until it’s done. I love to see clean benches, a scrubbed sink, swept floor and clean cooktop every time the dishes are done
I find my bathroom easier to clean and doing it daily doesn’t take long with a big clean once a week it’s easier than cleaning up kitchen with 6 kids in our house it’s always in use
I prefer cleaning my bathroom as it is fairly easy , but my kitchen just seems a massive task to me with appliances,etc so I find a lot of excuses not to do it!
I prefer to clean my bathroom as it shines beautifully when cleaned and makes me feel good and proud of it 🙂
The bathroom is my favourite as I automatically clean the kitchen as I clean the dishes at the end of the night. I wipe the stove and bench tops and appliances down every day so I never really appreciate it when it is done.
I prefer cleaning the bathroom, because it happens less frequently and I finish up the shower scrubbing part with a nice warm shower 🙂
I would always choose the kitchen. Whenever I am overwhelmed by the chaos of our house I head to the kitchen and start there. I get the dishes done, put away any jars of herbs/oils etc, wipe down my cooker, benches and cupboard doors then clean the sink.
Our kitchen is all open plan so it instantly makes the whole house seem tidier and gives me motivation to tackle the next task.
The kitchen is the place to be in our house. Therefore the kitchen is the place I love to clean. If the kitchen is clean and tidy the house seems clean and tidy ! It also gives me a great sense of satisfaction
That’s easy, I prefer to clean my kitchen because my husband cleans the bathroom, I got the easy job!
Kitchen- the kids are great at helping in cleaning the kitchen. Teamwork always makes things easier
i am a clean the bathroom girl, I hate cleaning the kitchen. When I was a child cleaning the bathroom was my job and now as a adult it is the job I like.
Must be honest have never tried chuxproducts only used no name sponges and would love to try them
Where did you get those cool looking baskets and towels? Our bathroom is all black and white, needs colour!
HI karla the towels are from Target and the baskets are from the local dollar shop : )
I prefer cleaning the kitchen, so I can control the clumps of cornflakes and the clusters of crumbs, to convert it from contaminated to cleansed. Of course this is where callers and company are more likely to catch sight of chaos and clutter. I would be very chuffed to use some Chux!
Most of our house keeping is a tried joint effort but a big joint effort is in the kitchen every night from the cooking to the cleaning always walking out leaving it Spick and span. Each night one of the kiddies cooks and I help. who ever doesn’t cooks sets the table with hubby then who cooks helps hubby tidy off the table and who sets the table packs the dish washer while I clean the benches and the table leaving only a weekly clean of the splash back, cupboard doors, draws and fridge, it gets done quick and is easy so without a doubt kitchen is my favourite room to clean. We do it together we have a system and it works ????

I prefer cleaning the bathroom but confess, it’s because hubby does the shower screen. I hate the shower screen! I’ll happily clean everywhere else but he always cleans it better than me. The only downside, is that he doesn’t clean it as often as I clean the bathroom, lol! I tend to wipe the kitchen over daily and clean up spills as they happen. I also have timber doors which are way more forgiving than white, especially with young kids!
I have a love/hate relationship with cleaning my bathroom. I don’t like the idea of cleaning the bathroom and it’s mainly because I don’t have a good system/processes in place. However when I’ve done it I feel great, and I love standing back to look at it shine.
The bathroom! I love being able to douse every surface with water and bleach once every 2 months for a true clean. It’s just feels so fresh and new after a good scrub down. I do the general clean in between but look forward to the every corner is tackled clean.
My kitchen has wood floors and doesn’t have a drain point so I can’t wash down every surface.
Hands down kitchen over bathroom cleaning anyday! No poo- laden grottiness to deal with? Yes please!
Having just had a new kitchen installed I would have to say it is the place I prefer to clean the most to keep it shiny and beautiful. It is also the heart of our home and where I spend many hours creating and destressing by whipping up wonderful meals for my family. It’s where we hang and catchup and where we sit for coffee with visitors so keeping it clean and beautiful is important to me.
I prefer cleaning the kitchen because I hate cleaning the toilet! I also prefer cleaning the kitchen because my partner enjoys helping in the kitchen, making it an easier job to do.
If I had to choose between cleaning the kitchen or the toilet, I would clean the kitchen because that would keep me motivated to cook. You can live in a messy home, but you can’t live without eating.
Please will you tell me where you got your chevron towels?
I prefer to clean the kitchen as it is open plan and in the center of the house. The bathroom is a little more hidden so it tends to be more neglected 🙁 Any tips on making life easier are welcome so thank you for the above tips.
I prefer to clean my kitchen.
The bathroom’s such a chore.
My boys miss the bowl,
It eats at my soul!
To forever be scrubbing the floor.
Bathroom for sure. easier to clean and much smaller/less mess 😉 I hate cleaning the kitchen but love to cook so go figure lol
I much prefer to clean the kitchen as there’s only one of them, there are 2.5 bathrooms. However as I do loads of cooking, baking etc I am the one who makes the most mess in the kitchen, plus as it’s an open plan house, the kitchen is the first thing people see coming down through the house, so I insist on keeping it clean!
My husband wonders how many different cleaning products I can continue to buy, you’d think after 44 years of marriage he would be used to that by now.
The bathroom by far! Less clutter and MUCH MORE of a chance that it stays clean for longer than 5 minutes. Plus it’s usually the same stuff making it dirty which is far easier to clean!
Definitely the bathroom. Mainly because the whole family is in and out of the kitchen all day, so although it’s clean, it’s generally untidy. But when you clean the bathroom it stays clean for longer, so I feel like I have accomplished something!
I prefer, rather love, cleaning the bathroom especially when I come to the hand basin. My cat sits on the bath edge or on the toilet lid and watches me closely. I deliberately run the cloth over the edge and she tries to catch it. We both have fun and the bathroom is cleaned. Two jobs done at the same time. Exercise the indoor-only cat and clean the bathroom. : -)
I much prefer the kitchen, it’s my domain. I love cooking and I ensure that whilst cooking I clean up bit by bit so that there’s no huge mess at the end.
Kitchen! I have two young sons who love playing ‘sword fights’ over the toilet bowl – need I say more? Also, while cleaning the kitchen I sometimes find treats I’d hidden from the kids … so it really can be more rewarding ;o)
Please, leave a printer tag, so your recipes can be printed easily

There is something delightful about having a clean kitchen. Walking in the door & seeing a perfectly spotless bench top & sparkly sink. As much as I love a clean bathroom, a clean kitchen truly warms my soul!
As a busy small business owner i find bathing the kids often a chore(extremely sad i know!) but using organised housewives tip to clean bathroom while bathing the children has let me share precious time otherwise lost,many a conversation with them and has reminded me that i am never too busy to have time for the kids!Best of all,i have a clean bathroom every night, definitely made easier by the chux duet cleaning system!love it 🙂
Definitely the bathroom. We have two little ones and a third on the way (3 under 3 by Christmas!) – to stop them getting into mischief the bathroom door stays closed; so it’s always tidy and doesn’t take me very long to clean. The kitchen on the other hand seems to occupy hours of my time every day, with food preparation and tidy up the bench tops and floors are always in need of cleaning.
I love cleaning the kitchen. My family all gravitate around the kitchen bench whenever i am in there, so whilst I’m cleaning i am able to enjoy my boys’ company. my oldest will usually play whatever new song he has learnt on the guitar, my middle child likes to “help” clean up or practice telling me jokes (at 3, this is a hilarious challenge) & my youngest likes to create more mess for me to clean whilst giving me gummy grins. It may be chaotic & never-ending, but it is wonderful to me!
I prefer to clean the bathroom, because with 6 people in the house, I’ve no sooner cleaned the kitchen and somebody is preparing food or drinks and messing it up again. I can enjoy the bathroom staying clean for longer than the kitchen, due to mornings and evenings being the main time the bathroom gets used & messy.
I have to be honest, I loathe cleaning *both* of them. I live in man’s land, so cleaning the bathroom is a necessity, and needs doing each week. But because the bathroom is clutter free, it’s a ten minute job that has to be done. The kitchen is the hub of the house, though. I love to cook and the kids will do their homework at the bench while I prepare food. Cleaning the kitchen is something that gets done every night so it’s clean to start the day. Given a choice – I’d pick getting a cleaner!
The bathroom. Once leaned it’s so shinny. Nothing beats clean bathrooms.
Kitchen definitely! Once the kids are in bed I can wash, wipe and tidy the bench… and finally relax with my husband. I could not imagine heading to the bathroom after dinner to clean. Our 1 year old has cerebral palsy and so cleaning while he is in the bath is not possible unfortunately. The bathroom is therefore a weekend task and one that I certainly don’t look forward to!
Please Please choose me for the Chux I work 10 hour weekdays and Saturdays so I hate cleaning both the bathroom and the kitchen and anything that would make life easier is a miracle as far as I am concerned.
The kitchen is clean,
The bathroom smells,
Chux Duets are mean.
No grime can dwell,
No need for steam,
But the bathroom can wait, oh well!
I have to say my kitchen it is in the centre of my house and where a lot of visitors sit at the bench and as it is the centre of the house when this is clean I feel good and the rest of the house seem to fall into place 🙂
The KITCHEN, the first thing i do when i pop downstairs in the quiet of the morning when all the others are snuggled in bed, i pop on the kettle and whilst its boiling i clear the kitchen surfaces to get ready for the day 🙂
that 5 min wipe down whilst my earl grey brews clears the kitchen and clears the clutter …for a little while before the day starts.
For a thorough clean i pop on the slow cooker and tidy and clean the kitchen – there is something satisfying about multitasking :))
I feel a greater accomplishment after cleaning my bathroom as it is often neglected and not done as often as it should be!!! Doesn’t stay clean for too long though, with my 2 little munchkins!!!!
Cleaning the bathroom is the best as you can see the difference immediately especially having 2 daughters that share a bathroom.
The kitchen, with the assistance of baby gates I can keep the kids out and admire my clean kitchen from a distance, safe in the knowledge the kids can’t get in and mess it up…..
I have old cloth nappies that I use to wipe down splashes after each bath session, hang up towels and bath mats to dry out and be ready for the next bathing session. Every Monday, I clean over the bathtub with gumption (if required) and bathroom cleaner and wash the linen popping out nice fresh ones! I love a clean bathroom
In the past I would have said the kitchen. However, since I followed your tips I find the bathroom easier. I am now in the habit of giving the bathroom a quick wipe down every morning, it makes such a difference. The bathroom stays clean all week and is not so daunting come bathroom cleaning day.
The kitchen on the other hand, seems to require constant maintenance! It is only just before I head to bed, that I feel it is done for the day.
They are both important areas to keep clean, but nothing beats a clean and tidy kitchen (especially when you first get up of a morning!). After all the kitchen is the central hub of the home… where nourishing meals are prepared and conversations often over a hot cuppa or a glass of wine take place. Keeping the kitchen clean and functioning is so important for the overall health and well-being of the family.
Love cleaning my kitchen. It gives me such a satisfying feeling when everything is put away, sparkling and fresh in the central area of our house.
I prefer cleaning the bathroom because I can go in, shut the door, do a quick but thorough clean with my Chux Duets…and with the time I have saved, I can relax with a good book without the rest of my family knowing!
I love maintaining a clean and tidy kitchen, which is great match with my husband who loves to cook up yummy food but doesn’t like cleaning up afterwards! I love to have benches and table spaces all clean and tidy before I relax with a hot cup of tea – before the next food frenzy with my munchkins starts!Maybe a two hour reprieve? Love it!
I prefer cleaning my kitchen. I cook a lot with the kids so it’s gets messy quickly and I can’t stand not being able to function in it…so we clean as we go and a tidy bench top that’s uncluttered seems to flow through to the rest of the house.
Kitchen definitely! I’m not much of a ‘cleaner’ and struggle enough with the act of cleaning food scraps – the idea of what’s happening in the bathroom is enough to send me screaming in the opposite direction 🙂
I love cleaning the bathroom because it’s a small area and can be quickly and easily fixed with a quick wipe over while watching the girls play and chatter in the bath.
I love to clean my kitchen as it’s the heart of my home, all the important things happen here, food storage, recipe creations and a whole lot of talking where everyone gathers. Cleaning my sink and leaving no dishes makes me happy and organised. I love to try your ideas to make my families life easier!
I love how make everything simple. Cleaning has been made easier by the microfiber cloth you mentioned. In just a couple of minutes, your sink will be shining. That’s totally awesome!
I prefer the bathroom. Loved reading this article, I do exactly the same thing with the kids facewashers after their bath. I get my daughter to pull all of her toys out of the bath, then I wipe everything down with the facewasher. The bathroom looks like its just been cleaned.
Then on the weekends i give the room a proper clean but it doesn’t take long at all.
I honesty don’t like cleaning either, these clothes sounds fantastic maybe they will motivate me to fall in love with cleaning
