Today you'll be adding in a super quick new daily habit – a toilet swish and swipe! As you finish your business using one of the main bathrooms of your house, squirt in some toilet bowl cleaner (I have a natural recipe on the blog here) and use a toilet brush to swish it out. Then take a cleaning cloth or my Natural All Purpose Cleaner Recipe, and wipe down the seat and back of the toilet. You might also wipe down the sink. This way, if a guest pops over, your bathroom is clean for them and you won't be embarrassed!

I also have a recipe for making your own natural cleaning wipes, if that's easier for you.

The key here is to have the supplies you need in each bathroom to make this super easy to do. Have a little cleaning caddy under the sink with your cleaners and supplies.
