How often do you clean out your bathroom sinks? I want to do this daily (just a wipe down). What do you use?

Well with all the reports about too much anti-bacterial stuff, I don't know if this is a good idea..
But I keep a container of those Clorox Disinfecting Wipes in the bathroom (or the store bought version). They're expensive, so I try to get them on sale, bulk stores, etc.

I don't know about wooden blinds, but I use a swiffer to clean the ceiling fans. It works great.

Ugh...I only notice that my ceiling fans need cleaning when I turn them on and dust starts flying...and you know that takes a lot of dust for that to happen.  It's just that it's out of my sight range.
So since it's so infrequent and I'm so disgusted, I use Murphy's oil and a rag -- but KC's Swiffer idea seems like a better option.

I use rubbing alcohol to clean the sinks and toilet with a wad of toilet paper. No rinsing and dries quickly.

I try to clean my sinks daily. When I'm doing the shower, brush teeth, etc. kind of things, I spray the sink and counter area with vinegar water and wipe it off with an old washcloth that is now a rag. Once a week I wash the bathroom cup and wipe off the soap dispenser with a paper towel. Whenever there are toothpaste splashes/speckles on the mirror, I wipe it with windex and a paper towel (a couple of times a week) and then use the windex-dampened paper towel to shine the faucets.
Peace,
Nancy

Sink and countertop daily, at least, with disinfectant wipes.

Bathroom sinks and mirrors are my 8 yo ds' chore. He cleans them every morning with a spray bottle of club soda and a microfiber cloth. I taught him how to hang the cloth so it will dry, then it gets washed at the end of the week.

Clorox wipes. Daily, or at least I try to do it daily. I also do the potty (last, obviously), because it's on the way to the trash can and it gets yucky fast if I don't swish and/or wipe daily.

I just wipe down the sink and countertop with a wet washcloth, like Jodie. I use a cleaner (Ajax and 409) during my weekly cleaning.
Get r done!

I do as Dawn does ... daily wipe down of sink and surfaces with a cloth and hot water. Weekly cleaning with a spray cleaner. That's about it! 
ETA - that daily cloth gets hung over the shower door to dry and then goes right in the laundry.

Thank you, everyone!!! I have 4 sinks that are used on a daily basis and the cleaning has been getting to me. It seems like such a no brainer to just use water for a daily cleaning and then to do a deep cleaning once a week.
