I have not heard about the pledge fabric sweeper, but I will have to try it for all the wonderful dalmatian hairs I have everywhere. Thanks for sharing the tip!

Oh, the dreaded master shower is my least favorite thing to clean! It never looks clean, no matter what I use or how hard I scrub. I love the Magic Eraser and the microfiber cloths.

For the shower, we use Magic Eraser, Scrubbing Bubbles, Vinegar Windex, and Invisible Shield. Scour with the Scrubbing Bubbles, wipe the tile grout with Magic Eraser, and spray the glass with Vinegar Windex. Then, when the shower glass is really clean, we use Invisible Shield (like RainX) once per quarter. And, use a squeegee after every shower. Sounds like a lot of work! Fortunately, it’s one chore that Rodney doesn’t mind doing. HA!

Thanks for sharing the other tips!

A little bit of CLR diluted and sprayed on the glass walls of the shower will cut any hard water stains and leave everything looking beautiful. I wash down the CLR and then spray it down with Windex to just put a final shine on things. The key for us is to use the squeegee after every shower. It helps keep the spots from drying on your beautiful glass shower door. And I agree – the Magic Eraser was heaven sent! I have taken all kinds of yuck off of a wide variety of surfaces.

Kerri, I knew I liked you. Magic Erasers are my favorite. I give them as housewarming gifts. I’ve used the Pledge wood wipes, but I haven’t tried the multi-surface.

Yeah, David couldn’t be cleaning house. I’m blessed to be healthy enough to take care of him. One thing I meant to write, but forgot, is that with all of the medication David is taking, his immunne system is weakened. It’s really important for me to keep things clean so that he doesn’t catch things. And, I get sick a lot, too, and I’m very susceptible to food poisoning, so it’s very important that I keep the house clean.

I do have a squeegee. I just never felt like the glass was clean using windex and the squuegee, but I think they have anti-bacterial Windex now. Thanks!

Girl, you are exhausting me just reading your list! I can’t even REMEMBER when I was physically able to clean the whole house. College maybe.

For the glass part of the shower, do you have a squeegee? Ya know, like the rubber part of your windshield wipers? Or, use like Tilex on the tile and windex on the glass.

I think my favorite products, although they can be a bit more expensive, are the cleaning wipes. It’s SO much easier for people with strength and stamina issues to grab a wipe and clean something than bottles of this and that, and scrubbing. I especially like the pledge multi-use wipes. You can use them on wood, plastic, glass, electronics, everything. Although for the “real” wood, the nice things my husband has built me and such, I love liquid gold. Makes them SHINE!

Another MIRACLE cleaner is the Magic Eraser from Mr. Clean. I do NOT know HOW they do it, but you get it wet, and it will get any stain off of any hard surface. Anything. My husband even used it to get ink from a gel pen out of the dryer after it had gone through the washer and dryer and was dried on. Nothing else would touch it. Magic Eraser took it all out. Amazing!
