Subtitle: Bathroom cleaning is rarely anyone’s favorite chore. We wipe the mirrors, spray the sink, and hope for the best, often letting our minds wander while we scrub the same spots repeatedly. Yet, the greatest oversight in our cleaning routines is not the surfaces we see, but the ones we ignore.
