Handy Hints, Gadgets, Products & Gizmos

I used to clean houses. One client was a very elderly lady and her bathtub/shower was always pristine. I commented that there wasn't an easier bathroom for me to clean, and I guess she thought I meant she never took a bath! She explained that her mom taught them to wipe the bathroom dry every time they used it. I hung a ratty old bath towel where it was handy, and started doing this every time I shower. Use a piece of toilet paper to pick up any hairballs on the drain, but any hair stuck to the towel will shake off when it's dry. Soap scum is still soft enough to wipe off, and hard water minerals go with the water absorbed in the towel. It's been a godsend since we put in a 6' shower with two clear full length shower doors.
