You use it each day for little rituals and routines before you set out for your next whatever it is that you're doing,

你每天在開始下個活動之前，都有點儀式性與規律地在使用著它，

and the important thing with your bathroom is you want it to feel fresh and clean so that you can feel fresh and clean.

而最重要的是，你想要它清洗乾淨。

The challenge is how do you keep it clean on a daily basis given all the things that go on in there?

因為每天廁所發生的大小事，要如何保持在每天生活中保持其清潔便變成了一大挑戰。

And I know many of you have been asking me for a bathroom cleaning routine.

我知道有許多人在問我要如何規律地清理浴室。

So what I'm going to do is walk you through some very easy things you can do on a daily basis,

而我即將要告訴你的是一些可以每天簡單清理浴室的方法，

which will not only help it feel like a fresh, clean, and serene space,

讓你可以享受清新、乾淨與寧靜的空間，

but will also help make your weekly or bi-weekly or whatever frequency you choose to clean your bathroom routine a lot easier.

而且還可以讓你清理的工作更加簡單，無論你是每週、雙週或多久做一次。

Okay, let's get to it.

好了，我們開始吧！

Melissa's Daily Bathroom Cleaning Routine

Melissa 的每日掃廁所常規

Each day after you take a shower, remember to squeegee your tiles, your tub, and your glass shower doors.

在你每天淋浴之後，記得要拿橡膠刮刀清潔磁磚、浴缸以及淋浴間的玻璃門。

This helps prevent soap scum, mildew, and hard water stains from building up on those surfaces.

這可以避免肥皂殘沫、黴菌和硬水導致的污漬在它們表面生長。

You can also use a daily shower spray but I think the results of a squeegee are a lot better.

你也可以每日使用浴室清潔劑來清理，但我認為橡膠刮刀的效果會好很多。

And it is so easy to do and anybody in the family can do it.

這做起來很容易，而且家庭裡的任何成員都可以做。

You can use a disposable wipe or you can keep a spray bottle and microfiber cloth under your bathroom sink,

你可以拿那種用完即丟的紙巾來擦，或者你也可以固定放一個噴霧瓶及超細纖維抺布在你的浴室水槽下方，

and each night before you go to bed you can just clean off any of those little toothpaste splatters on the mirror,

每天在你就寢之前，你可以清理掉一些飛濺到鏡子上的牙膏漬，

and you can also give your countertop and your sink a quick wipe down.

你也可以把你的洗手台和浴缸簡單的擦一擦。

You can shine those faucets.

你可以擦亮那些水龍頭。

You can get rid of any of that hair or debris that's living on your counter and then you can toss that disposable wipe or you can rinse off your cloth and hang it to dry.

你可以把洗手台上的那些頭髮或殘渣丟掉，然後你就可以把你一次性使用的紙巾丟掉，或者沖洗你的抺布並把它掛起來晾乾。

If you want the freshest toilet on the block, there's something really simple you can do.

如果你想要一個街區裡最乾淨的馬桶，這個有個簡單的方法。

Just take a couple tablespoons of baking soda.

取一大湯匙的蘇打粉，

You can even keep a little box under your bathroom sink, sprinkle it in the toilet before you go to bed, let it just do its thing.

你甚至可以放一盒在你的浴室水槽下方，在你去睡覺之前灑一些在馬桶裡，讓它在裡面自行作用。

And when you wake up in the morning give your toilet a quick flush or if you notice any rings building up,

等到你早上醒來再快速地沖一下馬桶，或者如果你有發現馬桶裡有任何環狀污漬，

get your toilet bowl brush and give it like a 10 second scrub, flush it, and move on with your day.

刷一下你的馬桶，大概用力刷十秒鐘，再沖一下，就可以開始你新的一天了。

Bathroom counter real estate is a real challenge.

要整理浴室洗手台上的物品真的是一個挑戰。

So my rule is to just keep face care and oral care products on there.

我的規矩是只放清潔臉部和口腔的產品在那裡。

Everything else can either go under the bathroom sink or in a small basket off to the side or on a shelf.

其他的東西要不放在水槽下面，要不就放在旁邊的一個小籃子裡或者放在架子上。

You want to keep that counter looking nice and clean.

你想要讓洗手台看起來美好又乾淨。

The items that are on the counter, you can line those up quickly parallel and perpendicular or group them together,

那些放在台子上的東西，你可以把它們快速地平行與垂直排列好，或者把它們集中在一起，

or like our friend Nate Berkus would tell us to put it on a nice little tray and create a little bathroom vignette.

又或者像是我們的朋友 Nate Berkus 會告訴我們的：放在一個美麗的小拖盤上。

Whatever you have to do to make that counter look good, you want to do it.

為浴室妝點一點小裝飾吧！不管你要做什麼讓浴室更美觀，重要的是要真的去做。

Do a super speedy, quick, cursory tidy of the bathroom, pick up any clothes or anything that's lying around on the floor, throw anything in the laundry that needs to go on the laundry.

快速地而粗略地整理一下浴室，把衣服或其他丟在地上的東西撿起來，把那些應該拿去洗的東西去洗。

Basically, your bathroom is not a big place, it will not take you longer than one minute, but that quick little tidy is going to make all the difference.

基本上，你的浴室不是很大的地方清理它不需花你超過一分鐘，但簡單快速的整理就會有大大的不同。

Finish the task off by closing your shower curtain, straightening up your towels, making sure everything looks neat and tidy, fixing up those rugs,

最後做這些事情來完成任務：把你的浴簾拉上，把你的毛巾拉直，把小毯子放好，確保每件物品看起來都整齊清潔，

and basically just making your bathroom look appropriate for a guest to pop their head in.

基本上要讓你的浴室看起來隨時都適合迎接客人突然來訪。

I'm going to try and be poetic here for a second.

我想要試著詩意的表達一下，

Bathrooms are like snowflakes.

浴室就像雪花一樣。

They're all a little bit different but they all kind of do the same thing.

它們都有點不同，但卻又差不多做一樣的事。

So the routine that I gave you, if it works for you, great.

所以以上這些我給你的常規如果你能用得上，那很好。

If it doesn't and you need something that I didn't mention or if something that I mentioned doesn't quite make sense for your bathroom, just adjust it accordingly.

但如果不行，或者你需要一些我沒有提到的，又或者是有一些我提到的點在你的浴室用不上，那麼就照你的需求調整。

The important part here is finding something that works for you and something that you can stick to each day

最重要的是，找到一些你用得上而且可以每天執行的，

because consistency is what's going to get you that clean space.

因為持續性才能讓你的空間保持乾淨。

Also remember, you don't have to be perfect at it, you just got to do it.

而且要記得，你不要做得很完美，你只要記得做就好了。

And by the way, you don't have to spend minutes upon minutes upon minutes, you have better things to do.

順帶一提，你不用花很多時間在上面你有很多更重要的事要做。

This will only take you like max five minutes, I promise.

我保證，這只要花個你最多五分鐘。

And as you become more efficient at it you'll see you can get it done a lot quicker.

而且當你在清理工作上越來越有效率，你會發現你做得快很多。

But trust me, when you walk into that clean bathroom, you're going to crave it being clean all the time and this routine is going to sit a lot easier with you.

相信我，當你走進乾淨的浴室，你就會渴望它隨時都這麼乾淨，而以上的這些例行工作對你來說也會越來越簡單。

I already hear the comments in your head for me.

我已經聽到你們腦袋裡給我的評論了：

"Melissa, I live with somebody else. They never keep the bathroom clean. I'm going to have to be the one to do it."

「Melissa，我和別人住在一起，他們從來不清理浴室，我必須要自己一個人清了。」

Okay, guys, here's what we're going to do.

好了，大家，這裡有一些我們要做的事。這個狀況下，你有兩個選擇：

In that situation you have two options.

這個狀況下，你有兩個選擇：

Your first option is you can talk to the person you share the bathroom with.

第一，你可以跟那個和你一起分享浴室的人討論。

You could see if they're into this routine idea and then you guys can kind of divide up the labor.

看看他是否想要和你一起進行例行清理，那麼你們就可以稍微分工一下。

So if you like doing toilets and counters, you do that.

所以如果你喜歡處理馬桶和洗手台的部分，那就你做。

And if the other person likes doing straightening up and tidying up, have them do that.

如果另其他人喜歡做整理、收拾的工作，那就讓他們做。

Find what works for the both of you or all of you, or however many of you share the bathroom.

找出你們兩個可以共用運作的方式，或看有多少人共享這間浴室。

Now, if nobody else is going to buy into this routine aside from you, guess what?

然而如果除了你以外，沒有人要接受這個例行工作，怎麼辦？

You're doing it, and the reason you're doing it is because you love a clean bathroom and you feel good in a clean bathroom.

那就你來做，為什麼你要做的原因是，因為你愛乾淨的浴室，乾淨的浴室會讓你感覺很好。

Forget about the other people here.

忘掉這裡還有其他人吧！

This is not about them, this is about you feeling great in your space.

這和他們無關，和你有關，這和你在你的空間裡感覺很美好有關。

Trust me, I know how that feels guys, but it really does makes sense to do something good, important, and special for yourselves

相信我，我知道那種感覺，但為了你自己去做些好的、重要的、特別的事真的是有意義的

and this routine isn't going to be too much sweat off your back.

而且這些例行工作也不會花費你太多的工夫。

I've got all of this routine business laid out for you on our blog, cleanmyspace.com,

我已經把所有例行工作都幫你寫在部落格 cleanmyspace.com 裡了，

and I've also got some extra pointers, tips, and tricks on there to help you on your journey to a cleaner bathroom.
