I wanted to clean the grout on the floor... which at one point I *embarrassed* thought was brown. Apparently, after cleaning it, it was originally white! YUCK! I used the Clorox toilet cleaner with bleach and used a cheap electric toothbrush which you can find at Target for about $5 - $6. Nothing fancy. I basically squirt the toilet cleaner on the floor and let it soak for about 5 minutes. I would do small sections at a time so that I can get on my knees and scrub. Without much effort (because the toothbrush did the spinning), I was done with the floors in under 2 hours. I must confess, I took long breaks in between! I was impressed with the results and I'd sure use this trick again when I need to.
The second thing I cleaned was the shower glass. I tried all those sprays that claim to remove hard water stains... and I still haven't found success. I was walking around Target and found a Lysol toilet bowl cleaner that removes lime and rust (black bottle). I really liked using the toilet cleaner when I cleaned the grout because it was gel-like rather than watery. I figured the gel will stay on the glass and coat it; rather than just to drip down like water. I squirt some on the glass and let it sit for about 5 minutes. I squeezed in some HGTV while I cleaned the bathroom and waited for the gel to sit on the glass. It motivated me to clean! Again, I used the electric toothbrush to "scrub" the Lysol on the glass... and Voila! Squeaky clean! I also used some glass cleaner to clean both the inside and outsides of the glass to make it extra spotless. I was amazed!
Here's a video to show you the squeaky clean glass in action.
