I hate cleaning. I hate the smell of artificially perfumed cleaners, I hate cleaning dead cells and hair, but I hate seeing a scary dirty bathroom even more.
Even though it’s costly, I tried Method products, I even tried making my own products. But nothing was getting rid of the shower mold except for bleach, which had the unfortunate side effect of breaking down the grout. But hey, they were white! (Cleaning makes me a little crazy).
Then I had a Crazy crazy brainstorm. Bathrooms and kitchens both have organic waste. Why don’t I use the Palmolive dishwashing soap in the bathroom? (Also, I bought the original flavor, which I realized that I didn’t like as much as I thought. Damn nostalgia!)
Bathroom is now amazingly clean. It’s like magic. Seriously. The hard water stains that never left those G*d d*mn evil glass shower doors…now gone. (I used to scrub them with tile cleaner then baking soda like a crazy woman). Grout=white. All the oil from skin dirt and body products…gone. (Of course! If it gets rid of olive oil, then why not…duh.) I can’t believe I hadn’t figured this out.
Best thing: Palmolive, 1 bottle = $1.09
Regular bottle of bathroom cleaner spray = $3.59
Awesome. Cheaper and better. I am so insanely happy (insane, because I’m getting giggly over cleaning) that I could dance a jig.

Tile & Grout Cleaning // May 11, 2009 at 9:42 pm |
What a great find! I actually had some serious shower tile problems a while back. It probably would have been too much for any surface cleaners to handle. We had Blackmon Mooring come out and clean the tile and ground, and it ended up looking like the shower was brand new. I’ll remember the Palmolive to keep it looking that way! Thanks!
