National Spring Cleaning Week 2012: 10 Tips For A Clean And Organized Bathroom (PHOTOS)

This week marks National Spring Cleaning Week. Each day, The Huffington Post Canada Style team will give you tips on how to organize the most used spaces in your home.

It's the space where we sit, read, shower and, for some of us, send a few texts to our best friend. But when you consider all the soap scum, bacteria and hair (long and short), the idea of scrubbing down the bathroom seems less than appealing.

"Most Canadians hate cleaning, but they love the feeling of a clean home. I always encourage people to figure out a schedule to clean and find the right tools. If you have cheap tools you're wasting your time," says Melissa Maker, entrepreneur and cleaning expert of Clean My Space in Toronto.

For the final day of our spring cleaning series, here are 10 quick tips to clean and organize the washroom.

We crave a toilet when nature calls, but when it comes to keeping it squeaky clean, we'd rather assign someone else to do the task for us. One quick way to get your toilet clean is dropping in a few denture tablets to de-scale, deodorize and disinfect your bowl. Leave the tablets in for 10 minutes and use a scrubber brush to wipe it clean. Oh, and don't forget to flush.

Tο hаνе a fresh smelling home, a good piece of advice іѕ tο sprinkle baking soda οn уουr carpet the evening prior intend tο сlеаn. Let іt set throughout the night аnd thеn vacuum during thе next day. Thіѕ wіll eliminate foul odors.

Good tips. Glad they didn't suggest any heavy duty cleaners. Baking soda and water to make a paste does wonders. I used it on my gas stove burners.......they were pretty gross. It was amazing. Vinegar and water are great for cleaning as well.
