During this season, basic household cleaning is taking a back seat to other priorities. When asked what I wanted for Christmas, I teased that I'd love a year of maid service. lol My MIL is waiting for me to give her a quote so she can gift me some maid service in 2015. I won't argue. :)
In the meantime, my arch-nemesis is our shower stall. For quite some time, I've seen posts by other women stating the virtues of a mixture of white vinegar, blue Dawn liquid detergent, and water.
I don't like chemical cleaners. Whenever I use them, I'm paranoid of accidentally bleaching the carpet or clothes. I'm paranoid about inhaling the vapors or having residue on my hands when I touch food, etc. That's probably one reason I neglect cleaning often enough. That's also one reason my hands are always dry, cracking and/or raw...when I do clean, I wash my hands compulsively.
Even still, I'm skeptical that making household cleaners is always the best, most effective way to clean. So, when it came to trying this concoction, I kept it in the back of my mind but didn't do anything about it. Until a few days ago.
I was thoroughly impressed with how quickly and easily it cleaned the white tile. Let me add here that a dream of mine is a bathroom renovation in the next couple of years. I want to get rid of those tiny white tiles. In the meantime, I'm happy to say I've found the dream cure for my enemy. You should try it.
