How to Clean a Shower + Keep it that Way – You asked – how do I clean a shower, soap scum, glass showers, fiberglass/plastic – showers are tough. If it’s a shower that’s used regularly, it’s damp and has a fair amount of moisture that needs to fully dry on a daily basis. If it isn’t used on a daily or weekly basis it still needs a quick wipe down to keep it clean and dust-free. This post gives the run-down on what you need to know for that super clean shower you’re looking for.
How to Clean a Whirlpool Bathtub – They’re relaxing and lovely but they aren’t the easiest to clean mostly because they aren’t used regularly. Use my method to clean your whirlpool tub and you’ll be happy to take that bath.

When we built our house in 1993 when our daughter was 5, and our two sons were 2 y & 2 weeks. Knowing little boys don’t always “pee in the water”, I had my husband eliminate that “boy’s bathroom” problem by completely caulking every crevice of the toilet upon installation. The tank to the bowl, the bowl to the floor, the little covers at the bottom of the bowl… ANYWHERE pee went where it shouldn’t go, It was caulked. I can say in all the years we’ve lived here, with Sons, their friends, Nephews and now Grandsons, I’ve never had that pee smell problem! *This can also be done after its used, just thoroughly clean the toilet in all crevices and let it dry before caulking. 🙂

Hi Clean Mama, I have a question about toilets. How do you recommend I clean the outside bottom of it? You know, the under-the-bowl pedestal area? It seems like I just swirl around the dust and ick over the porcelain surface without actually wiping everything off, and it drives me crazy!
Thanks 🙂
