For those of you who have lived with me before, you know that a toothbrush and Clorox cleanup (ie bleach) are necessary features of my cleaning routine :) My desire to have every surface in my home sparkling and as sterile as possible is somewhat overwhelming at times. I can drive a roomie, or husband, mad in my attempts to eradicate every germ and speck of dust from the house. Over time, I've discovered that Greesed Lightening works wonders in the kitchen, and the Magic Eraser is truly magic. I recently found a new love!
Clay and my bathtub has these little textured dots in the bottom for traction. Over time, soap scum, or whatev, built up and stood out as light brown circles on a white background. I tried everything to clean them with no success: bleach, Clorox for soap scum, Tilex, Comet, toilet bowl cleaner, Draino (I figured the acid would get it off). Not only did I want my tub spotless, I didn't want people thinking I didn't clean my tub!!! I finally decided to try the concoction that a patient recommended to me and that I've seen a million times on Pinterest: 1 part white vinegar mixed with 1 part blue Dawn. Each account claims that it is a miracle cleaner but I had my doubts.
I sprayed it on a small section, waited a few minutes, and then scrubbed like I normally do. The yucky dots disappeared completely! I seriously thought I was seeing things so I tried another spot....gone! I proceeded to flip out! I showed Clay, flipped out again. Cleaned the rest of the tub and flipped out again! I couldn't believe it! The next day, I called some of my friends and told them about my discovery...I even told some of my patients! I need to tell the world! I am so relieved that cleaning my tub will no longer be the frustrating struggle that it used to be!!! Anyone wanna shower at my place???
