Cleaning The Bathroom

icyfroth — Sun, 06 Sep 2015 07:53:34 GMT

I had every intention of doing it today.

It's a chore I avoid as long as I can.

At least I changed the towels and put the shower curtain throught the wash.

Well done Icy.

I have come home after 7 weeks away.

I have 'soap scum' up to my eyebrows.

Stone floor is white - rather than a lovely rose - terra - hue - italian stone.

Frameless glass shower - hello - needs no curtain.

Layer at a time - will probably do it.

Love the products - every one states - if read carefully - do not use in a confined space.

What - then - is a bathroom.

If not - a confined space.

Industrial is perhaps called for.

My dream bathroom is made from moulded plastic panels, with no seams, and high pressure water jet nozzles mounted in the walls and ceiling.

Close the door, turn the tap on, let it work itself out...

my husband does all the cleaning as i cant move much due to a back injury we rinse the shower walls down and dry it after every shower and its always clean as the day we moved in (brand new house 3 years ago)

BUT the oven is our problem we had a wall oven in our old place and it was hard to clean but this new one is huge and floor level

it has not been cleaned since we moved in!!! (and we cook heaps of roasts lol) so just this weekend he was going to tacke it (will be a very hard job for him because he has joint problems ) but that was canceled because it was to cold and wet to have the doors and windows open

so i think we had just better buy a new stove would be easier than trying to clean this one haha

its got to be the hardest household job keeping the oven clean

Get a Weber Q! I haven't cooked a roast inside since we got ours - so no messy oven . Seriously, it tastes so much better too. I don't use the oven for anything uncovered these days.

Problem solved

There are professionals that clean your oven for you.

I think they steam clean it - so no chemicals in the air.

Maybe get it done before you buy the Weber

Ecar - that sounds like the old tiled pub bar.

Strong hose out - all done.

Soap Scum Competion :

Can anyone beat this.

Will post an after shot - when and if I can remove it.

Short of sandbasting.

Geez that's extreme. Try flooding it with water and bi-carb soda let it stand for while. then wipe off and rinse.

Other than that, I got nothing

Thank you Twyn,

Have Shannon Lush's 'Completely Spotless' - have tried everything so far.

Each go gets it a little nearer the clean it should be.

Hey Helen, in that link is a recipe for 1/2 water. 1/2 vinegar and a squirt

of dishwashing liquid. Spray it on, leave for 15 mins and clean with a

soft brush.

I just tried it (cleaned it with a non-stick pot scrubber) and it worked

a treat. My bathroom was pretty bad too.

Best part - no asthma attack for me.

I put off doing the bathroom because the chemicals kill me.

Thanks Twynnie

Thank you Possum.

Will get the spray bottle - fill with ingredients.

So far have used - Aldi - soap scum remover, Ajax & firm brush, Aldi Industrial Strength Domestos.

Let you know - hands are clean though.

There once was a bathroom so grubbying,

That washing the body caused flubbying,

The skin did regress,

And left such a mess,

That nobody dared to keep scrubbying!!
