Dirty Talk

I live in the US. There is a product in the market called Shower Fresh. I spray it on my glass shower doors, tiles, entire tub/shower space, after every shower. I rarely have to really scrub my shower or tub. I wonder if there is a way to make something at home that would work as well, but save money. Any suggestions?

Cleaning removable filters from your vacuum is easy if you have a leaf blower. I take them outside, hold the filter in one hand. In the other hand I hold my leaf blower. A basic leaf blower has 150 mph air. I simply blow out all the dust with the leaf blower. It works wonders. It's quick and easy, and your vacuum works much more effficiently.

A suggestion for getting dishwasher clean. I make a paste out of warm water and baking soda. With those new "cleaning erasers", I scrub all the insides with the mixture. Then take a clean rag or towel and dip it in warm to hot water and go over the entire surface. It not only cleans, but neutralizes odors. For the outside, I use a soft cloth and window cleaner. I wipe my dishwasher, inside and out about once a week to keep it clean and fresh. That way, you don't have to ever work hard scrubbing it.

I love a clean house. We have 2 cats who are NOT allowed on kitchen surfaces. We all know that cats do what they want, when you are not looking. So, before I cook, I take my dish rag and run it under hot water with dishwashing liquid. I carefully add a splash of my mixture of 1 gal. of water to 1 Tbsp of household bleach to the dish rag. I wipe down all the kitchen surfaces with the rag. I also use that method as I'm cooking to catch spills and again when I'm finished cooking. I don't sit down to eat until the kitchen is clean, and as many pans as possible are clean. I enjoy eating much more, knowing the kitchen is clean. When we're finished eating, all that's left are the dishes we ate from. They're rinsed and put in the dishwasher. I can spend the rest of the evening doing whatever I like.

When my baked on enamel roaster pan gets "stuck on dirty", I simply put it in the oven on the cleaning cycle for about an hour. Then, after it's cooled, I put it in the sink and rinse and wipe it down. NO SCRUBBING! Saves lot's of time and elbow grease.
