Easy Way to Keep Your Shower Clean

If you are looking for a super easy way to keep your shower clean all you need is these three things.
Take the cardboard off of your scrub brush. I bought mine new at Dollar General for $2.00. This type opens at the bottom of the handle.

Open it and pour two tablespoons of dishwashing liquid in. Fill the remainder with vinegar.

This is what it will look like once you have finished filling it.

Now, hang it in your shower for easy access. After each shower, before you get out, use the scrubber to wipe down the walls and tub. Use your shower to rinse the scrubber and your shower. Now, your shower will be clean the next time you use it. So simple! So easy! You will never have to scrub and break your back cleaning your tub and shower again!

How to Clean Your Oven for Less Than $1.00

I have an old second oven. I have tried everything to get it clean. No matter how hard I tried it just would not come clean. Until, I tried this simple solution. Here is the before shot. (Hanging my head in shame)
 

I started the cleaning process the night before. I put the oven on the lowest temperature setting. For my old oven, it was 200 F. While my oven was heating, I put a pot of water on the stove top to heat up. Make sure your pot does not have a plastic handle. You will be putting this in the oven.



As the water was coming to a boil, I poured lemon scented Ammonia into another oven safe pot (around 1 1/2 cups).
 The entire bottle of Ammonia was $1.99. I used only about 1/3 of the bottle.

When the water came to a roaring boil, I turned off the oven. Then, I placed the pan of boiling water on the bottom rack of my oven. I put the ammonia on the top rack. Closed the oven door and went to bed.
The next morning, I opened the oven door, let it air out for about 15 minutes, put the pot of water back to heating on the stove.
I removed the ammonia and set it to the side while I removed the oven racks.
Next I added, 2 tablespoons of dishwashing liquid to the ammonia.

Once the water was hot again, I poured it into a wash pan with the ammonia and dishwashing liquid mixture.
Next, I found my trusty rubber gloves. Please make sure you wear gloves if you try this. Ammonia can be harmful to your skin.


Now, it was time to start the cleaning. I used an old cut up bath towel to wipe out the oven with. There were some really bad places that I had to use a stainless steel scrubbie on. Once I had the oven as clean as I thought it would get it, I used fresh hot water and a clean cloth to rinse it.
Here is what the oven looks like now.


BIG difference from the before shot! (Grinning from ear to ear! So proud of myself!
