Soap and Water

Thought I would do some well overdue shower cleaning today! I have to tell myself that all it takes is a little soap and water to get that thing clean and somehow it MOTIVATES me like no other!

Prairie girl? is that your shower floor you ask? Why, yes, it is...isn't it lovely? I know you feel better about yourself now.  Go ahead and say it. I wont mind. TRUTH be told, I don't use this shower very often. "Well I wouldn't either if I had to stand on that slime while washing my hair" you say! My dear hubby has this baby all to himself.  Isn't he lucky. Our other bathroom shower/tub combo has much more room to move around and stuff, so I choose to share the other bathroom with the kids just so I can have a more pleasant experience.

 Why am I telling you this? It's the "out of sight- out of mind" rule that applies here. I don't look in there that  much because I am not in there that often. Make sense? So, now that I am done with all my terrible excuses I will share how I got it all nice and sparlkly! Are You READY????

   Yeah. Soap and water. Exiting, I know. I took the advice many years ago from FlyLady, who said that soap and water or a little shampoo would cut slime and grime just as well as any cleaners you could by on the market. Well after I tried it the first time, she had me convinced! I have been using liquid soap and water or sometimes shampoo to clean my bathrooms. If you get those travel size shampoos that seem to collect over the years, use them! If you bought some soap or shampoo that you don't paticularly like, or you received as a gift, just save it for cleaning! As FLYLADY says, "soap is soap"!!

This is the soap scum on the shower door.  One thing I really love is my Dobie brand kitchen scrubber. My mother always used these in the kitchen for as long as I can remember. I have been using them since Paul and I got married and they are great for everything. Dishes, bathtubs, sinks, countertops, you name it. They don't scratch surfaces, and when I am done with my dishes I can throw it in the silverware basket and run it through the dishwasher. Or you could always run it through the washing machine with a load of towels. They last forever too!

SEE? No more nasty scum! I don't know why I wait so long to check this shower. It's so easy to clean!
Well, there you have it! Go and tackle that nasty shower or bathtub you have been putting off! Make your home a haven for your family! Put yourself in there shoes (or shower..hee hee) and ask the Lord to help you "see" the needs of others through HIS eyes! You will bless your family with the smallest acts of kindness!

Oh, and one more thing....I love to use the Mrs. Meyers cleaners after I am done to give everything a nice fresh smell. These are some of the best scents for your home! I love the basil scent or the lavender. Heavenly!

Have a blessed Saturday!!
