Clean Clean Clean that bathroom

1. Check the reservoir in the toilet. If you use or have ever used the blue drops that go in the back of the toilet, your reservoir can actually grow mold! Check in there, maybe even toss in some bleach just to make sure.

2. Make your faucets shine! Begin by deep cleaning faucets. Wet a cloth of full strength white vinegar. Scrub down the faucet with the cloth. If residue and hard water buildup is present, you will need to remove it. Saturate the cloth with white vinegar. Lay the cloth over the faucets being sure to cover all areas that show signs of calcium buildup. This is the whitish crusty residue that clings around the faucets. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes to soften the calcium buildup. Remove the cloth and scrub the area with a soft bristled brush. The acid in the vinegar will soften the buildup making it much easier to remove with a little scrubbing. Rinse with cold water and dry with a soft dry cloth.

3. Clean your shower liner. When was the last time you took it down and cleaned it? Or at the very least sprayed it with bleach

I will get on all 3! I definitely need to do #2 to help prevent a really bad build up of calcium on our faucets (as we have really hard water out here and the water softener can only do so much). It was about a month ago when I last washed all the shower curtains and liners so need to do that again.

I had no idea that mold could grow in your reservoir when using those blue tabs!! I have never used them though so don't know too much about them.
