Forget baldie, I say you give scrubbing bubbles a try. I'd recommend this to everyone. It makes cleaning so much easier. You don't have to do anything but spray it. It does the job by itself.

How do you get it off when you're done? You just rinse it off and you're good to go?

Anyone try those new toilet wand things (toilet cleaning sponge on a stick)?

Depends on how much you sprayed or how much scum and dirt there was, but yeah most of the times you just rinse it and it's clean and sparkly. Literally.

wow, I don't know why I never heard of this miracle invention before. I think next time I run out of cleaning products, I might have to buy some.

anyone know a good way to get pen ink stains out of suede? we once had a some people over and their 3 year old put pen marks on a suede chair. i only noticed it a day later and used some cleaner that came with the chair to try to remove it. it got most of it out, but there's still a faint mark. any ideas?
btw, in case anyone is wondering, i didn't leave any pens out... apparently because she was bored, her mother gave her a pen and paper to draw on and left her (i'm guessing) unsupervised. i found all this out afterwards. yay for me.

this happened 2 days ago, except i was cooking something and the water evaporated and the carrot, celery and onions burnt and stunk the house out. Still soaking it

It's lazy to employ a maid for two people, right? I really despise washing up. I'll do EVERYTHING except wash up

I think those Lysol 3 in 1 and 4 in 1 come pretty handy at cleaning just about anything. Only,the green apple scented one is a bit overwhelming for me...Lemon's better. and Scrubble bubbles or whatever is good too. What's good for hardwood flooring?
