I may use a vinegar spray in the toilet and bathroom too as I don't really want to use stronger products so regularly.johnnyjumpsuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474137444822527332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497889514720788230.post-66132992196238965062017-04-19T10:48:00.624-07:002017-04-19T10:48:00.624-07:00I agree, baby and bathwater and all.

Even if I just manage to keep on top of the bathroom by swishing and swiping, I think this will make a bit difference to how clean the house feels, although I do intend to do more than this.johnnyjumpsuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474137444822527332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497889514720788230.post-51681827547305237012017-04-19T10:46:15.870-07:002017-04-19T10:46:15.870-07:00I must admit that I do find the bleach a bit stro...I must admit that I do find the bleach a bit strong. I may change to using something else. Your washing powder idea might work for me too, as I made some of my own that needs using up.johnnyjumpsuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474137444822527332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497889514720788230.post-19424026345664255852017-04-19T10:44:42.739-07:002017-04-19T10:44:42.739-07:00I properly started yesterday, due to being away at...I properly started yesterday, due to being away at the weekend.

I don't keep a control journal these days but if I need to gran hold of myself I do make a list on the chalk board I keep in the kitchen, it really helps. <br /><br />As people are handing out top tips mine is this - take what you like and leave the rest. If you don't like part of the system them don't do it, no need to ditch the whole thing just because one part isn't to your liking. thrift deluxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12267215022924475298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497889514720788230.post-59170828891585839652017-04-15T04:03:55.372-07:002017-04-15T04:03:55.372-07:00I discovered Fly Lady in the days before the inter...I discovered Fly Lady in the days before the internet from the book that was written by them (can't even remember the name now). I devised a card index system to log when I had cleaned a room and now I have a computer list for each zone. All went well for many years until I went back to full time employment and then it started to fall apart due to lack of time. I have never devised a good system since - still working on it! <br />I don't do the bleach clean for the sink - I use a sprinkle of washing powder for my sink and rub over the sink well with a non stick pan scrub or eco cloth - it does a wonderful job as the powder has a texture that does not scratch the sink but dislodges grime - smells quite nice and shines the sink up beautifully and then I just put a squirt of bleach down the drain twice a week.<br />Keep us posted on your progress. Happy easter too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497889514720788230.post-669145245241019772017-04-15T03:43:45.620-07:002017-04-15T03:43:45.620-07:00Thanks for the tip Marlene.

I should do a bit more cleaning though, as I'm a bit averse at the moment.johnnyjumpsuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474137444822527332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497889514720788230.post-40725347447069217532017-04-15T02:36:00.107-07:002017-04-15T02:36:00.107-07:00As a working wife and mother, for years I used a w...As a working wife and mother, for years I used a work chart, with daily jobs, weekly jobs, monthly jobs and spring and before Christmas clean. It helped me keep on top, now it is a way of life. My best tip is to tidy the rooms before going to bed, even if they need a clean, if they are tidy they won't look so bad. BUT I am the queen of tidy. Poppypatchworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12749159567150084975noreply@blogger.com
