So, a few weeks ago I was cleaning the upstairs bathroom with Lacy and I was cleaning the toilet. So, I was dumping the toilet cleaner in the toilet like this:
of course. Lacy kind of stood there and watched and said, "Oh, you don't do it like this?" And she proceeded to show me the correct way:
How genius, I thought. This way the cleaner gets everywhere in the toilet bowl, not just the center! Oh man, I never knew. But, I was told, that is why the toilet cleaner is shaped like this:
A few days ago it was Steph's week to clean the bathroom. The same think happened, only I took Lacy's place and was probably not as gracious as Lacy. Steph and I laughed a lot. We are glad that we now know how to clean toilets properly. Probably the worst part is that I actually had a job cleaning someone's house when I was younger. All the weeks of cleaning their toilets were done incorrectly.
If anyone has other cleaning tips that you think we might not know, please tell us........

Girls, not to make you feel even more embarrassed, but even I knew that.
Tommy,
I am not surprised at all that you knew that. Not at all :)
Didn't you tell us one time that you cleaned toilets with a rag and your hand? Not just the outside but the inside?
Maybe that's also a common practice here and I am just not aware...
To see how to clean a bathroom quickly, go to Bathroom cleaning . That looks like a daily cleaning method, since the shower & tub were hardly touched, and she sure missed a lot of spots while cleaning the toilet. If that was done every day, though, the toilet would stay quite clean. I do use that method for cleaning my toilet bowls, although I scrub them more and flush and rinse afterwards. Lowering the water to allow the cleaner to work without being diluted is a very good method. And a johnny mop works much better than a toilet brush, IMO. If you have hard water lines that won't come off, use a wet pumice stone on them.
Wow. That is amazing.
I think I was shown that once...but here's the thing. For some reason, my parents always bought that powdered Comet or Ajax stuff. For whatever reason, that's what I buy, too. I want to know how you get it up around the rim. Old habits die hard, I guess... it would probably be easier to just buy the liquid, squeezable kind instead of fluffing blue powder all over the toilet seat and floor! :D You girls are so practical...
Andrea--
I may have used a rag to hand-clean a toilet. I can't remember, but if I did while I was in Minneapolis, I'm sure it would have been the number-one news story of my day, and you all would have heard about it in vivid detail.
Good times.
I'm dying laughing at this post. I love you girls!
