What works for me in the bathroom

A few weeks ago I heard a radio commercial for the Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner. I hate to admit that I am this lazy, but we have not managed to keep the shower as clean as I would like. The thought of something we could both do as we get out of the shower and have it work on the walls and corners sounded good to me. I picked it up and Anthony installed it. 

It has actually done a pretty good job. The shower actually looked worse before it started to look better. I liked it enough to buy refills this weekend. The glass is looking better, the walls always looked good, the corners are staying clean better.

While I was shopping, I also picked up the Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Cleaning Gel. This was not a success. The scent was too strong (we could smell it out in the bedroom) and it didn’t help avoid the grime ring that we get every 2 days due to sediment in our water. So, I scrubbed away the leftover gel and we’ll go back to the swish and swipe of Flylady

One tip I picked up a few months ago when I was looking back into Flylady, keep a bottle of cheap shampoo near the toilet and just use a bit to get some soap in when you swish the toilet bowl brush around. This works very well, but find a shampoo that doesn’t have a strong scent.

BFS #103

I missed a few Blogger Friend School assignments. It isn’t a feed and I got busy so I forgot to go look.

I’ll just pick up with this week’s assignment.

Memory Verse: 1 Timothy 4:15 (NIV)

Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress.
The assignment is to describe how I keep energized to get the neverending housekeeping done. I have a low tolerance level for some things so frustration energizes me for things like dishes sitting around the sink. I also manage my own clutter pretty well, but sometimes other people’s clutter starts to get out of hand. I have a few playlists on our music server that I’ll turn on to get some energy going and then I’ll just blast at it. I can get stuff cleaned up, thrown out, put away, or washed in pretty short order with some good tunes going.
That works best, of course, when there is no one else around. Because the tunes playing and occasional water running makes conversation difficult.
