Spring Cleaning Challenge- Day 24, Toilets

O the porcelain throne! You knew it would come around eventually! You've probably heard it said that your toilet is cleaner then the human mouth...so how bad could it be, right?
Spring cleaning was dragging a lot the first week, I was so busy trying to keep up with everything, then something happened and everything fell into place and stuff just happened, the cleaning was getting done. But now I'm hitting that "I just wish I was done" stage. And guess what?! We are almost done! 5 more cleaning days and your house will be sparkling clean and you will have some extra time in your day once again! Keep up the good work!

CHALLENGE:
Clean the toilet, inside and out. Use whatever cleaning supplies you feel comfortable with. Clean everything you can get to on the toilet, this includes the outside of the bowl, the flat spaces where the toilet bolts into the floor, and of course everything that hinges. There are some really amazing blog posts out there about how to clean your toilet step by step. My favorite ones tell you how to drip dry the toilet brush. (toilet brushes are definitely NOT cleaner than my mouth!) Look up a step by step process and see how quickly you can finish multiple bathrooms!

Is it warm and springy where you live? Have you gone to the park yet? What are some of your favorite outdoor activities for Spring and Summer?

Spring Cleaning Challenge- Day 21, Shower

I hope you had a wonderful weekend, celebrating Easter with family and friends. This week we will be focusing on the bathrooms. (I hope you don't have very many) Because I'm not getting this post out till late morning you might consider swapping today's task and tomorrow's. If you get up early and have already taken a shower you might not want to clean the shower today. Instead you can jump ahead to tomorrow and clean the shower curtain and liner. Then tomorrow morning when you take a shower you can clean it. Do whatever works best with your schedule. CHALLENGE: Clean you shower(s) till it sparkles. Here is a link back to the post about shower cleaner. It really does work the best; It makes my shower tiles sparkle! I find that taking a shower while cleaning it is the easiest way. If you have multiple showers, you might consider not getting soaking wet every time, or asking a spouse or child to help you. Take a scrub brush to work on grout mold, and a sponge to wipe
