Maybe it was, but this is still bad news. I don't want to go back to scrubbing the toilet on a weekly basis. :|<br /><br />Jessica, thanks. Maybe I will do more posts like this if that's what the public wants. :D<br /><br />R, I did Flylady for about a year, and then I basically took the concepts that worked for me and unsubscribed from everything. It's a very intense system geared toward a specific kind of person, and I'm not really that person. :|Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15865460477149294514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385523154268826980.post-36482410856293685212011-08-30T21:58:37.291-05:002011-08-30T21:58:37.291-05:00I love Magic Erasers.

They aren't great on color-painted walls though, so do test color-fastness if your walls aren't white.<br /><br />I definitely go through those Clorox wipes like crazy, too. Each kid has a container with his/her name on it to use for their chores and to personally keep track of because we had a couple kids just leaving them open and letting them dry out ... they don't work so well like that. Now kids who let theirs dry out have to buy their next container out of their money (or do extra chores to earn it). Win-win.<br /><br />I used to use and love those bleach tabs, too, but in our new home, our plumbing warranty will be void if we use them -- so I had to change my thinking on them. I don't know what harm they might do, but we were excessively warned not to use them when we moved here. So???<br /><br />Though I'm at home with our kids all the time, I still loathe housekeeping. However, a friend of mine who loves cleaning (I wish I did), loves FlyLady.com. Not sure if you've checked it out, but I hear the organizational and cleaning tips are just awesome.Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03617661053715127363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385523154268826980.post-3217336835421189352011-08-30T17:15:47.770-05:002011-08-30T17:15:47.770-05:00I love the Windex multi-surface!

I'm sure we could all learn from you on how you maintain such a pristine house and then you'd possibly get some clients looking for your services. :)<br /><br />I have the Magic Eraser but never remember to use it. I guess I didn't quite understand what to use it for. I'm trying to think if I have any scuffs anywhere that need some erasing.<br /><br />I would love to use those toilet drop things, but I remember once using one and it caused problems with the toilet. I guess some of the tablet messed up the flushing mechanism, so now I'm afraid. But you haven't had any problems with that? Maybe I had a poor brand.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04539914930254138454noreply@blogger.com
