Cleaning a FIberglass Bathtub

Isn’t funny that the place where we go to get clean can get so dirty? Over time, residual dirt, loose hair, hard water stains, and other debris can make your tub look filthy. No doubt this chore sucks, so gather the things you need and get it over with!

• Start by rinsing the tub out. Take a paper towel and wipe away loose hair from the drain. Gross, I know, but it has to be done.

• Choose your cleaner and get to scrubbing. Comet and other bathroom cleansers are good for this. If you don’t have any of those handy, you can use dish or laundry detergent.

Remove Hairspray From Walls

As anyone who has ever used hairspray knows, it doesn’t all just go into your hair. It floats through the air until it finally settles on the nearest available surface. Walls are of the victim of excess hairspray. If you’ve noticed that your walls are a little on the sticky side from hairspray buildup, here’s a few quick ways to get rid of it.

Vinegar and Baking Soda

Vinegar and baking soda are great natural, cheap cleaners that can be used on just about everything. Baking soda is good to use when you need a safe abrasive to remove stains. Vinegar is best used to remove stains and odors. Both of these items are non-toxic, multi-purpose and more importantly, cheap. When mixing these two ingredients, make sure to do it slowly. There will be a lot of fizzing going on. Some enthusiasts use this combination to fuel rockets. It is not dangerous, just a lot of foam, but it could get messy quickly.

Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Cleaning Gel

When my step daughter moved in with us, we had one bathroom in the house at the time. Eager to demonstrate her cleaning prowess she pulls out this plastic wand with some gel stuck inside. At a glance, I wasn’t impressed, though I wouldn’t say it to her face without sarcasm and a grin. “That’s, um…great!”
She looked at me and motioned towards the bathroom. Apparently this piece of plastic stamps a small and quite decorative piece of gel onto your toilet bowl. Each time you flush, it wears some of this gel off and cleans as well as deodorizes the toilet.
OK, she wins..I was a bit impressed. The bathroom smelled clean and fresh without me having to do much (a win in my book) and the toilet always looked clean. For those who don’t care for cleaning the toilet…which I imagine not many of us do, this is a great way to help out.

Burned Grease on Pots and Pans

If you burn more than you actually “cook” (that’s why I can’t ever have a cooking blog…it’d be filled with pictures of Ramen and bologna sandwiches), you have probably dealt with the grease that gets stuck on the bottom of the pan like it’s on a personal mission to never leave. I found the coolest trick that I can’t wait to try.
Fill the pan with water and place a fabric softener sheet in it. You can also dump in some of the liquid fabric softener instead. Leave it until tomorrow and voila! The fabric softener demagnetizes the grease and frees it from the pan.
I’m making greasy food tonight just so I can try this out, I’ll let you know how it goes!
