A few Wife “clean bathroom” tricks! March 28, 2009

The bathroom seems to be a never ending battle in this wife’s home. The hubby has yet to break a few old habits and it shows (DAILY). So how to make the cleaning process simple after your one big DEEP SPRING clean? Wife easy!

That yucky shower curtain liner (the clear one) looking dingy? You can do one of two things. First you can try putting it in the washing machine (no joke)! Wash the liner alone, on warm/cold  using a 1/2 cup of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda, let it air dry. This is not a guarantee fix but it usually makes it much cleaner. If the liner comes out looking dingy still…time for a new one! They are usually inexpensive (between $2-10) to replace.

Although I am sure there are many wives out there that love good old fashion BAR SOAP, make your bathroom process cleaner by using liquid soap (use a refillable dispenser). The big perk to the switch…no more hard to scrub soap scum!

Tip #1: Cleaning the Microwave….So the hubby let a few things over cook, boil over, explode or maybe even spill in your microwave…a quick clean is all it needs. Use a microwave safe plastic bowl, fill it 3/4 full with hot water, cut one full lemon into slices and place them in the bowl. Put the bowl (with the lemons) in the microwave on high for at least 5 minutes (may need longer depending on your microwave or mess). The steam (and fresh lemon scent) will make wiping up the spills an easy task (no heavy scrubbing) and the lemons will deodorize the space.  Wife Wonderful!
