Cleaning the Bathroom and Adding Spa Touches!

[@deliciouslysaid]

You made me chuckle when you said you are keeping the bag of makeup like it’s going to save your life one day. 😂

[@MakingYourHouseAHome]

I have no idea why I keep it but I just feel like I need to hold on to it! It’s crazy if you knew the small amount of makeup I use. It would take me 7 years to use up what’s in that bag!

@ i’m the same way. But I like having it there.

I use those snakes too! Just found them a few years ago and I love them! I do a wipe down of my sink and bathroom counter every day. I use a little washcloth when I put on my make up and I just find a clean spot on that washcloth and wipe everything down when I’m done. I’ll grab a new washcloth if the mirror has any spots on it , but I’m just talking about the bathroom that my husband and I use so it stays pretty clean. I usually do a quick wipe down of the toilet with a sanitizing wipe also. I do a full bathroom clean on Saturdays where I put cleaner in the toilet and let it sit for a while, then scrub it out, and I put sanitizing cleaner on the bathroom counters in the sink. If there’s any kind of soap scum, I use Bonami and it comes right off. I clean the mirror with glass cleaner. For the most part, I just spray my shower and tub (they’re separate) down with Tilex bleach cleaner and they’re good to go. If there’s anything that needs scrubbing, then I’ll do that with the Bonami. I’m not very good about cleaning the glass shower door because I have found absolutely nothing that works on it in the 13 years that we’ve lived in this house! We have hard water that leaves a white residue. I spray it with the Tilex sometimes just to sanitize it and I dry it with my towel every time I shower to try to keep the residue at a minimum. I do do a full scrub down of the walls with Bonami or Dawn Powerwash but honestly, that’s just about twice a year. It all helps some, not much though. I mean, the shower looks clean, it just has this faint white residue everywhere. It’s beautiful when it’s wet though! Lol! I’ve actually found that cascade platinum gets the white spots off of my dishes… It is the only thing that keeps the white spots off! So, once I actually opened up one of the pods and cleaned my shower door with it. I thought it was gonna be a miracle worker but it really did nothing! Argh!!! Oh well, I am SO thankful for running water!!! 💦 We have two other bathrooms in our house. My adult daughter who lives with us takes care of one as it’s in her space, we have like an apartment on our lower level so she does that one. And my teenage daughters clean the other bathroom. They each have a job to do in the bathroom every day and then they clean it on Saturday, pretty much like my system in the master bathroom. I’d say my girls truly get their daily job done about three times a week but that’s better than none! Lol! Love your bathroom!

Thanks for sharing what you use in your bathroom and your system. I’ll look for the Bonami. The only time I have ever heard of that was in the movie “The Ghost and Mr Chicken!” I think I’ll try to incorporate that system with my kids. As you say even if they don’t do it every day, something is better than nothing! I always appreciate your comments! Thank you!

Enjoyed your video. Very motivating. The BBQ looked delicious.

[@MakingYourHouseAHome]

It was really good! Takes a lot of planning because of the time in the fridge and cooking but well worth it!

[@MyLittleRealities]

OOOOO Vlogmas? I look forward to hearing more about this. I love your stories! That bathroom mirror is the largest mirror I have ever seen LOL Thanks for always sharing with us! Such a joy. Have a great one!

[@MakingYourHouseAHome]

Thank you! You too!

[@MyLittleRealities]

@@MakingYourHouseAHome I wanted to tell you I picked up some of that Dawn Power Shot and you were right its amazing. It also worked great in the shower! LOL Thanks for talking about it. I would have never tried it if I hadn't seen it in your video.

[@MakingYourHouseAHome]

I’m so glad! I think I reach for that most when I’m cleaning something! And doing dishes of course:)

[@barbaramartin5013]

I enjoy your videos! You are so real it’s good to know that you’re not alone with the struggle of house keeping! Your bathroom looks so good! By the way I’m from Mississippi!

[@MakingYourHouseAHome]

I’m so glad you enjoy them! I’ve never been to Mississippi. Do you get much weather from hurricanes in your part of the state?

[@barbaramartin5013]

@ No not really, when Katrina hit New Orleans, we just had lots of rain, wind and power outages, where I live which was scary enough for me!

[@MakingYourHouseAHome]

Wow! I bet! Glad it wasn’t any worse than that where you are. Thanks for watching!

[@beefbased89]

I use dish soap and a sponge with a blue scrubber on one side to clean the bathroom, including mirrors, faucets, sinks and tubs. I use a razor scraper on soap scum if needed.

[@MakingYourHouseAHome]

I like the idea of the razor. I had never thought of that. Thanks!

[@juliewright1895]

You could Velcro (sticky Velcro) the tile in place!!!! Or use a command hook tab, without the plastic part. They really do hold well then come off nicely. A guy from the phone company actually suggested that to us for our phone Jack as it was falling off the wall.

[@MakingYourHouseAHome]

That’s a great idea! I’ll give that a try!
