When cleaning the bathroom, be sure to wipe down the door or wall behind where you stand to use hairspray because, although invisible, the spray actually builds up on the surface!

Each time my husband or I take a shower, we dry off in the shower, then use the towel to wipe down the walls and floor of the tub. This saves on water spot buildup and keeps the shower nice all the time.
I always use a bottle of 50/50 water and white vinegar and spray down the toilet and give it a quick wipe with a bit of toilet paper. I also spray down the counter with a damp wash cloth and the vinegar mix. I also spray a little mist of vinegar solution in the waste basket. About 30 minutes later the vinegar odor is gone, as is any other odors that may have been there. Note: I blame ThriftyFun.com for my obsession with the many uses of vinegar! ;)
Clean water sediment on faucets and sinks with white vinegar.

Editor's Note: For stubborn spots, let the vinegar sit for a few minutes.
I use Magic Eraser with lemon juice and water for my shower glass doors.

To clean toilet bowls use vinegar and baking soda. Makes them "just new white".

DomenicaNY suggests using lemon juice and water for cleaning shower doors. What is the ratio of lemon juice to water? Thanks.
I keep a supply of cleaning products (windex, vinegar, etc) and paper towels under the sink in each bathroom. Everytime I use a bathroom, I give it, or an area of it, a quick once over before leaving, that way it's a matter of daily maintenance instead of a big dirty job.
Powdered or gel dishwasher detergent is an excellent shower and bathroom cleaner, especially if you have hard water (it contains water softeners.)

I to have what I call a cleaning station in almost each room of my house. In the bathroom I have a bottle of vineger/water and a microfiber rag for mirrors - magic eraser tub and shower, spray bottle with a solution of spic and span and water (to spray on the floor for a quick once over) - All purpose cleaner. ripped up rags. Everyday at some point, I do a quick once over. This way it stays clean plus if you have a guest come over - just excuse yourself to the restroom and you have everything there. Hey also when that happens, have a candle and a match ready to light in the bathroom (as long as there isnt a little guy around) People love that :)
One day while over my grandmothers house, I noticed she had a *special* mop. I was informed that mop is used to clean the tile and tub when she finishes.
