    I clean the sink, countertop and toilet in the kids' bathroom every night while the boys are bathing. I hate dirty bathrooms! I use Clorox wipes like they are going out of style! Our master bath doesn't get as dirty, but I clean it several times a week too! The thing I can't stand on ANY floor in my house is hair! Yuck! I'm always spotting hairs that need to be wiped up!

    I'm with you guys in that I keep the Clorox Wipes (well, store brand) VERY close at hand in the bathroom!

    My sister swears by that new thing you stick on the shower wall and push the button after you shower. She says it's unbelievably great!

    I clean them all of the time, especially the toilets, which I do daily. I also take advantage of the times the boys are in the bathtub for touchups. I tried Clorox wipes, but I don't really like them because they tear. I prefer Lysol wipes and I buy them in bulk. I use Swiffer wet on the floors (I like the smell) or else I clean them on my hands and knees, Cinderella style, with Lysol and paper towels.

    Leigh, that is good to know because I thought it was just a gimmick.

    Wow, you all put me to shame. I do a good cleaning every 2 weeks, but do wipe things down as needed with Clorox or Lysol wipes. The floors are vacuumed quite often since there is always dog hair around and I need to mop them more than I do . I love the idea of wiping things down when the boys are in the tub. Hmmm, I usually am working on laundry or something and dh is in the bathroom with the boys- think I can get him to clean? That would be wonderful

    Susan have those wipes handy for him and tell him to go to town! I usually do it after I have washed Grant up and give him a minute or two to play with his toys in the tub.

    I use the cheapie wipes and made sure I told dh where to find them! LOL
    I also get down on my hands and knees to clean it when it needs it. I hate the hairspray build-up that gets on my floor and the sink top.
    I usually wipe the sink area down with a hand towel that heading to the laundry.
    The sink area gets a good cleaning every week or two....or when company is coming! LOL
    I use shower spray on the tile and fixtures after showers and clean the shower/tub when it looks like it needs it.

    You are all ten times better than me. Each room of the house usually only gets cleaned really well every other week. The rest of the time is on an as needed basis. We aren't home much, so there isn't much time and since we aren't home much, it doesn't get too dirty too quickly.

    We have a cleaning lady once a month and I usually do a deep cleaning two weeks after she is here and use the clorox or lysol wipes on a daily basis to clean the counters, sinks and toilet.
