Tackle it Tuesday...Shower Scene


Have you ever freaked out when you have unexpected company and they ask to use the bathroom? Hearing that scary music from the movie psycho.
Well, I didn't used to until we got this new bathtub about 2 years ago. My Grandma "Wee" remodeled our bathroom as a gift and our new tub had the skid proof bottom. I was against getting this tub from the beginning but the contractor talked me into it. I was pregnant with Pebbles and he said "you don't want to fall while taking a shower do you?" So, I let him talk me into it knowing it would be a pain to clean. And I tell you for the last two years, I've had a heck of a time using all my elbow grease to get it clean. ;-)


Until I tried this combination. I had tried every product out there for 2 years and this is what finally worked! YAY! I try to do it four times a week so it stays this way. I spray it on after I get out of the tub and go back and wipe with the magic eraser about 20 minutes later and Voila!


It's safe to come in now!



AAhhh, I nice clean place for Pebbles to splash around in. :)


Now if I could just get rid of this guy!

I am just blown away that you clean your shower four times a week. I don't clean my shower quiiiiiiite that often. You just cringed, didn't you.

I don't think I will be sharing any cleaning tips in your comments.

I like your jazzy new thumbnail pic. You look purty!

Ugh, my last house had the skid-proof bathtub and it was a nightmare to clean!

Now I have the smooth bottom ones and they are so much easier to clean. And I love the Magic Eraser.

WOOT WOOT--- I can not say enough about the magic eraser. I really haven't seen ANYTHING that it can't get out.

Ok, back to your tub... looks spotless to me! I'm more of a 4 times a month kind of gal! ;o}

You're speakin my love language today...I love me some Magic Erasers, Oxy Clean, and a clean bathroom.

Great tackle.

I kinda like Elmo, too.

I"ve GOT to TRY THIS! THANKS.
But 4 times a week! I NEED some of that ambition and energy!

Dang girl, 4 times? You put the rest of us , okay at least me anyway, to shame! I do it once a week if I'm lucky and even then I clean it WHILE I'm taking a shower and then I spray the heck out of it with that Clean Shower stuff until I cna deep clean it next. Have you ever tried Soft Scrub Deep Clean Foaming Cleanser though? I jsut got it a month ago and looove it! You spray it wait 2-3 minutes and wipe! I mean it that's it and I even have glass shower doors that getcked on soap scum. Plus it doesn't smell toxic! I might have to try your tips too sometime.

THE BLOGGERS PRAYER

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck,
manage to visit all that visit me, and post regularly -
all in 5 minutes a day, so that I can clean house
and take care of my family.
Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post, and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well. Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life.
And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.
