The bathroom cleaning jobs that are easy to put off

Most people keep a bathroom “all right”. The jobs that slip are the ones you have to look at sideways: the shower screen, the floor behind the loo, limescale on taps, the skirting that never quite dries.

If you only have two hours in a house with more than one bathroom, tell us. Two bathrooms done properly often beats five rooms done in a hurry. We clean toilets, basins, baths, showers, taps, mirrors, surfaces and floors — but we use the time you give us, on the rooms you name.

Limescale in Luton is not a character flaw. It is the water. Regular wiping helps. A fortnightly visit that always includes the bathrooms stops it becoming a weekend project you then resent.
