So here is the progress on the bathroom.
I know this should be a given, but I have learned that it is much easier to take 5 minutes 3-4 times a week to pick up the bathroom (or any room, for that matter), than it is to wait until it is complete mess and have to go through all of the junk/randoms that have accumulated over a longer period of time.
GOAL: Spend 5 minutes 3-4 times a week, picking up and wiping down the bathroom/laundry room.
I hate cleaning the tub. :( That is the absolute worst part of cleaning the bathroom (I think). If you have any good suggestions for tub and shower cleaner, please let me know. I have heard there are things that you can just spray and rinse. Have you tried any? Do you like them?
Tips for cleaning the MIRROR. You always want to keep your mirror clean. Guests will probably spend the most time examining themselves in your mirror. They will inevitably notice dinginess and streaks.
You can use glass cleaner or VINEGAR. Also, you can use newspaper to wipe the mirror instead of a rag or paper towel. Newspaper won't leave any streaks! My mother in law taught me that one. :-)
Well, the bathroom isn't looking too bad, but I still have a long way to go. The 'laundry room' part still needs LOTS of love. Take a peak:
Here are my list of things to do tonight to put a dent in the laundry room:
- clean off the dryer
-find a better place for the towels
- organize toolbox
- get rid of hangers and put away clothes that are hanging
That will be a start.
I have found the best recipe on Pinterest for cleaning showers and every other "tough" job. While I was at Target I picked up one of those wands that have a brush at one end and you can fill the handle with liquid. You fill it with equal parts of vinegar and Dawn Dish Soap. While I'm in the shower and allowing the conditioner sit on my hair...I will pick part of a wall and scrub for a minute or two. My shower is now sparkling! (no joke) I also have this mixture in a spray bottle that I use in the kitchen. It cleans up grease and will also make your kitchen sink shine like no other. They will tell you to warm up the vinegar in the microwave then add the dish soap. The one tip I have for you is that if you put this mixture in a wand for the shower...you will have to store the wand with the brush side UP....if you don't....all your vinegar and Dawn Dish soap will leak out! (I found out the hard way) LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying seeing the progress you are making at your house. Keep up the good work!
Just put one of those wands on my grocery list for the week!! Thanks so much for the suggestion, that sounds super easy and I am all about easy. I need quick and easy when it comes to cleaning. :-) You have no idea how excited I am to try this! YAY!!
