Here is my submission for "Clean a Bathroom - PEP BB nest.sand.bathroom":

I am providing photos of the following:
- post a before picture of: toilet, sink,/counter, floor, tub/shower, and mirror
- post an after picture of: toilet, sink,/counter, floor, tub/shower, and mirror

and a description of the following:
- post a report on what cleaners you used

Cleaners:
I used just water for the tub/shower walls, counters, and shelves.
I used water with a little vinegar for the mirrors, cleaning them with a damp rag and drying them with a second rag (I have included photos of only one of the two mirrors)
I used a little baking soda on the sink and toilet and baking soda plus a little vinegar for the tub.
I used less baking soda and less vinegar than I usually would, and was pleasantly surprised to find that I didn't need as much as I expected.

We’ve been living our best life with summer outside chores so forgive the nasty state of our bathroom 😳

Long overdue cleaning. I used 1:1 vinegar and water where needed and scrubbed with a “paper towel replacer” sponge sheet thing. Finished the shower floor with just steam.

I used mostly water and some of my homemade natural cleaner (citrus infused vinegar) to clean my bathroom today.

I normally use baking soda in the toilet bowl but I've ran out of it so it was just elbow grease today!
Sink and counter was just water and scrubbing with a cloth, then drying with another cloth.
Floor I beat out the bathmats to loosen any hair/debris before hoovering (I also went into a domestic frenzy and hoovered the whole house!)
Bathtub I sprayed with citrus cleaner and let sit while doing the other tasks, then scrubbed and rinsed.
Mirror I just used water and scrubbed, then dried with a dry cloth to reduce streaks.

My submission. I use water and elbow grease until areas around water. Then I use vinegar due to very hard water.
