SCUM

Water and soap scum, that is! So here's the deal. Our master shower has two glass walls and they are nearly impossible to keep clean. It absolutely drives me CRAZY!!! I literally cannot stand it. No matter how often I scrub and how diligent I am about using the squeegie (sp?) after showering, the water/soap scum continues to build up. I've had enough! So, today during Avery's afternoon nap I decided I would try to conquer the irritating scum once and for all. I did some research and found that scrubbing the wall with a lemon and then spraying it down with a mixture of water and vinegar should help to break down the scum. Then use a dryer sheet for the scrubbing. Afterwards, I cleaned the shower like normal. It actually helped! It sure isn't perfect, but I can tell a huge difference and feel better about the looks and cleanliness of our shower. Any other cleaning advice is welcomed!!! :)

I just scrubbed showers today haha. I poured a cup or two of baking soda into a bowl and added water by the tablespoon until I got a paste. I scrubbed the shower with the paste and let it dry. Then I came back and sprayed with a vinegar/water mixture, scrubbed a bit more and rinsed. We don't have glass doors so it's hard to tell a big before/after. I found this on ehow or something like that. Good luck friend!
