I Need to Clean My Shower

I like to keep a clean house, but I'm not a clean freak.  Maybe if I was home more, I could be.  But it seems my career and my kids have me gone most evenings.  I'm okay with that, but after a while, I just have to stop and clean.  It's amazing how you can be hardly home and it becomes a mess.

This weekend, I need to find time to clean my shower.  And because my sister found a great, simple, inexpensive, and non-toxic solution, I really have no excuse not to get it done.  I've already got all I need to do it too!

Here's the solution.  You buy one of those dish washing scrubber things.  I know, you'd like more info, right?  It's the one with the handle that you fill with dish soap and it has the green scrubber on the other end.  Fill the handle half full of Dawn dish soap and use vinegar to finish filling it.  Now some people really hate the smell of vinegar - especially those under the age of 20.  But it's great for cleaning and when mixed with the Dawn actually gives a nice pleasant and clean scent.  Simply scrub down the shower walls, let sit for a minute or two and then rinse.  If your shower has a lot of soap scum or hard water build up, you may need to scrub it a few times to see the difference.  But if you keep this scrubber handy, you can give it a weekly scrub down before you shower for the day and rinse it out while you're showering.  It's not toxic, it's not going to hurt your skin, and the smell doesn't burn your eyes and nose.

I love this solution to cleaning the shower.  I also use it on all my sinks.  Give it a try and let me know your results.
