It's a Dirty Job

 2-stars_n_garters In my ever quest for a solution to a clean house, I picked up a book at the library today called Real Simple: Cleaning. I always say that my house could qualify for a Mike Rowe Experience, but I thought I'd give this book a shot before I called him in.

Disappointedly, it offered no magical solution other than you must still actually clean house....darn it, I knew it would end that way! It basically rehashed solutions that I had heard a hundred times, but a couple I did find interesting.

I've always heard use denture cleaner tablets in the toilet to clean it, but the book suggested Antiacids. I am assuming they meant the Tums kind. Drop two antiacid tablets in the bowl and leave for 20 minutes. Like in your stomach, it will clear away the acid (didn't realize my toilet bowl had a stomach problem) and then you can just swipe and flush it away. Worth a try.

The second idea was to download some tunes to help you get the job done. I'm always up for themed music, so here are their suggestions for a compilation:

Another One Bites the Dust - Queen
Clean - Depeche Mode
Come Clean - Hilary Duff
Drops from the Faucet - Nanci Griffith
In the Bath - Edie Brickell
Into the Groove - Madonna
Scrub a Dub - Eric Hansen
Shine On - Ryan Cabrera
Suds in the Bucket - Sara Evans
Talk Dirty To Me - Poison
The Dirty Boogie - Brian Setzer Orchestra
Tiny Bubbles - Don Ho
Wash, Mama, Wash - Dr. John
Wipe Out - Surfaris

I thought of another one to add to the list ........Nasty Girl - Nitty

My quest continues.

I love it. I keep trying to find that magical solution as well - to know avail. Fly Lady is helpful but even she requires actually CLEANING the house. I need Niecy Nash & Crew. Actually, it's not THAT bad - but even if it were, I don't live in LA. Guess I'm on my own as well.

(I had heard that dropping two Alka-Seltzer in the toilet would clean it - but you know, I've never tried it. Hmmmmmm - maybe I will.)

Love & Hugs, ~thea
