Cleaning Bathroom

Line the cupboard shelves with blotting paper. It will absorb the split lotions or creams and is easily renewed. lemon juice, turpentine or kerosene, in that order, are good for cleaning tiles. Polish off with a chamois for that extra sparkle. Soap shavings mixed with kerosene will shine up the bath nicely.

Place a magnetic strip just the inside the cupboard door and use it to hang tweezers, nail files and scissors. Protect bathroom scales from rusting by polishing them with floor wax or wiping over the metal parts with vaseline so that any water spilled over them simply runs off.

To reduce the possibility of mildew forming on shower curtains:

• leave spread out to dry after use
• soak in a solution of salt and water before hanging

Does the shower curtain slap around you while you are in the shower? Screw a plastic coated curtain rod to the bottom of the shower box. Sew curtain tape on the bottom of the shower certain then clip plastic hooks from the tape on the curtain rod.
