bathrooms

by Rocknhorse
Published Jun. 12, 2008

To remove toilet stains, sprinkle damp sponge with sand.

Clean bathroom fixtures with white vinegar.

Put soap slivers in a cup with a little water.  After a couple of days, it's great as a liquid soap.

To unfog a mirror, blow a hair dryer at the mirror.

Here is a link to the material data safety sheet for ammonium chloride.

Never mix any bleach with amonia. If you try clorox and then try an amonia component the result is amonium chloride. You will know immediately you messed up. YOu can't breath. You must evacuate the room and blow the fumes outside if possible. A large enough mixture will have to be handled by the fire department with their big fans.

DON'T MIX AMONIA WITH CLOROX!!!

Shower advice - from a hotel manager (128 bedrooms, toilets, showers cleaned daily!)

Gather shower curtains toward the middle, not back like cutains - lets air through and keeps mildew down.

Use light colored shower cutain - lets sun in to keep mildew down.

If must spray, use 50/50 cloox/water. Spray down shower firt, then clean rest of bathroom then rinse shower - needs time to work.

NEVER/ever use bleach with ammonia. It'll kill you.

Eliminate soap scum - use shower gels, not soaps. If you wouldn't put it in your hair, don't wash with it - it doesn't rinse off well.

the heck with the blow dryer, wipe it down with some shaving cream and it'll barely fog.

I've also heard that doing the bar-to-liquid soap trick is great for spraying your veges in the garden. It keeps the bugs away and it's not a poison!

39, spray clorox on it. Also, try putting some charcoal blocks in a dish behing the toilet. It helps to alleviate the dampness/humidity in the bathroom, making it harder for mildew to grow.

I've not tried the Mr. Clean eraser on mildew, but it really works on everything else I've tried it on. Especially marks on painted walls. There are always stains on the wall above the garbage can in the kitchen. The sponges don't last long, but they are definitely worth it.

My dad used to do that bar-to-liquid soap trick when I was growing up. It's kind of slimy and gross; I wouldn't recommend it.

@rabid~~I am thinking you man the "eraser". I have never tried those and they work good, huh? Tilex gets on my nerves. Maybe I need to spray, wait and do again. I like a quick housework...lol

blah..... you'd never make a car painter, Hon... LOL

I don't know what those white sponges from Mr Clean are but they work on every thing.
