We all know that to obtain the best results in doing any job, having the right tools is essential and the same can be said when it comes to cleaning and particularly that job we love to hate 'cleaning the shower.'
Recently whilst browsing in my home town I came across a little store containing nifty kitchen and bathroom gadgets. I picked up an unusual 'u shaped' brush which the very helpful shop owner explained was a 'grout and tile brush' with tough bristles for the grout and softer bristles for the tiles. I thought anything to make that job easier would have to be worth the small outlay.
Feeling like I had to try out my new purchase, it wasn't long until the grouting in my shower was looking alot cleaner with little effort on my part - this brush was a winner. Next job was to tackle the grouting in all my floor tiles throughout the house, so armed with a spray bottle containing a mixture of water and vinegar, I set to work. The result was amazing, my tiles came up as new and I couldn't help looking at the finished area - the job is on going but with the help of my amazing 'full circle' brush I will succeed!
Tell me what cleaning tool has made your life easier.

My Day Off
My mid week day off work is often filled with appointments like doctor, dentist, hairdresser, car service etc., but today there are none of the above and I have the whole day to myself, which poses the big question 'what will I do?' Will it be home duties, lunch with a friend, go to the beach, go for a walk or a combo of all of these.
Well I looked outside and I am met with a dreary, showery day with no sign of any sunshine and immediately my enthusiasm sinks. Well forget the beach and probably the walk (I do own an umbrella but will I use it?) and it is too late to organise lunch out with my friend, so sadly that leaves 'home duties.'
The clothes are washed and ready to peg out but alas they may have to go into the dryer.
What's for dinner?, so I check my slow cooker recipes and make a list of ingedients required. Then it's off to the supermarket, newsagent and post office and back home to get the slow cooker meal started. There is some time left to vacuum and do a quick tidy of the house and maybe read my weekly magazine.
So that is my day off, I may not have done anything too exciting but I feel the day wasn't wasted as I did
cook a nice dinner, got some chores done and the best thing of all - I WROTE A BLOG!!!
How do you spend your day off if you are lucky enough to have one?
