Day 7–Shower Challenge

7

Happy Thursday! Thursday has long been my favorite day of the week. I think it stems from the show Friends being on Thursdays, and now I like watching The Office after the kids are in bed. I also like knowing that all I need to do is get through one more day before the weekend hits.

Thursday happens to be the day that I try to tie up loose ends at work, and around the house, which means I tend to be quite productive. Being productive feels good.

it’s also a good excuse for margaritas…

The Shower Challenge

If your shower stall has seen better days, you can try the following:

1) Sprinkle a non-abrasive, powdered cleanser (or baking soda) liberally in the bottom of a wet shower. Let it sit for an hour or so (if you are on your way to work, let it sit all day–no worries there), then agitate with a stiff brush. Use the same brush all over the shower stall and door. Turn on the tap and let the shower enclosure rinse well. Leave the scrub brush inside the shower and finish the scrub brush (with water only) the next time you’re in there. If you quickly scrub the shower floor, walls, and door a few times per week while showering (no need to use cleanser or detergent, just elbow grease), they won’t accumulate grime.

2) If you have a shower curtain, take the liner down and wash it in the washing machine on the delicate cycle. I have never had good luck washing a decorative curtain (they seem to lose shape, wrinkle horribly, and fade on me), and prefer to replace them every few years. I’m usually ready for a change once the curtain no longer looks the best, anyhow.
