Okay, here's a problem I've come up with. I went to clean the bathroom mirror with my new microfiber cloth, first dry then wet, but it wasn't doing the trick. I thought it was a regular glass mirror, so I added a little dishwashing liquid to the water, and OH NO! The mirror must be made of plastic or something, because it now has swish marks where I put the soapy water! I tried using a clean microfiber cloth over it and that didn't even phase it. Have I ruined it?

Hi back to ya Grace. You might try dampening a soft rag with rubbing alcohol and wipe over the entire surface. Thanks for the web site for the bathroom Vee. Will have to try the paper towel application to the toilet bowl. Really need to clean out my fish aquarium today it is long over do. I normally clean it once a month but have just been adding water to it when the water level gets low. It gets cleaned at the beginning of each month. I have not cleaned it for two months so it has a lot of algae built up on the plants.

*Detailed Cleaning List for Zone 3: Bathroom and One Other Room* Guess that the "clean scale" one works two ways. ;> Please note the Flylady's caveat about zone work. *Monday's Mission* Yay! A mission included for the kids all in one! It isn't finished or anything, but thought you all might be curious about how far along it is. This is a photo of the new space and how wonderful the light is for about two hours. Ha!
Once the remainder of the work is done...moldings, two small built-in bookshelves, light fixtures etc., we'll be taking out most of this furniture and replacing it with living room furniture. At which point, the current living room becomes a home office. Have a wonderful Monday!

Very nice!!! It's so neat and you still to have work to do in there. When we remodeled the kitchen, my whole house seemed upside down. YAY, Vee!!! Today I focused on the tub/shower in the main bath...it only took me ALL DAY!!! But, I feel I accomplished so much! I had to take lots of breaks, but it's done and I feel good about that. My back doesn't like this job. Gracie, how is the mirror? I use the microfiber cloths on mirrors and windows...first the wet cloth then the dry. I'm amazed how well they work.

Meme, I was scared to use anything without researching, so I went and got some of that cleaner just for plastic mirrors and such, then used it along with the microfiber cloth. Thankfully it is all better! Oh Vee! It is turning into a very beautiful space, and I love all that sunlight streaming in! One more day and then I can go home and clean my own house!

That is just gorgeous, Vee. It looks like those fantasy pictures you put in Baby's folder. I had no idea you were snapping pictures of your own house.

*Tuesday's Mission* It really is a great idea to include the kids' mission with ours. Very tidy that way, don't you think? Thanks so much for all of your nice comments. Fantasy pictures, Juju? Not sure what those are. ;> Meme, those little orbs are in many of my photographs October or not. I should ask in the camera thread what it's all about. How's the back doing, Skootz? Glad that your mirror prob got straightened around, Urgrace. I just learned that it's the ammonia in some cleaning products that creates the smudging and clouding so I am using Windex again without any ammonia and the microfiber cloth. It always looks great. Happy fluttering all!

Gracie, when I use the microfiber cloth to clean mirrors I only use water, no cleaner. It works great and saves money. It would be safe on the plastic(now that you have the streaks off)it should work fine. Skootz, take care. Today, I did baby steps in cleaning. We had a date afternoon..ate lunch and dinner out. Yay, my kitchen stayed clean all day!

*Wednesday's Mission* Sounds like a fun one for the kids! It's something that I can have fun with for myself. Dipo, see paragraph below pic for answers to your questions. Hope the chiroman helped your back, Skootz. Don't push it! Meme, sounds as if you had a lovely day. Enjoy your anti-procrastination day, everybody!

LOL, you know Vee I read that and it passed right out of my brain. Let's see, it is raining nicely today in Walnut Creek, so I guess tonight I will do a pile of paperwork I have been saving for a rainy day. Hope you get better Skootz!

Aw, Skootz, sorry to hear about your friends father. I've been doing baby steps this week, today though I'm doing a bit more (may even take my aluminum cans to be recycled.) The house is overall in good shape, so I've been kind of enjoying a down week. Yesterday my little "adopted" brothers wife called. She quit her job in June to stay home and I guess they called her yesterday to see if she would be interested in a short term (several months) job. She's still debating if she wants to go back or not for even a little time, but called to see if I would be able to watch their boys (10 and 7, up until she quit work I watched them over school breaks) during winter break. Told her sure, kids will love having them over and the baby would probably enjoy having his other cousins to play with. I think I may be nuts though. Between littlest nephew and my aunt, then having Caleb and Kota home, and now taking on two more right before Christmas...oy, lol. Still waiting on her to decide though.

My dh's best friend lost his wife this morning, so we know how it is Skootz. Our sympathy to you and your friends. We have to shop for new puppy stuff, and I need a suitable outfit for the memorial service. I'm not getting around very good either, because I fell yesterday. Anti-procrastination Day will have to wait!

All domestic goddesses, I salute you. I still do the newspaper wipe with vinegar-water mix to clean my bath mirror. I need to clean more--A LOT. But I am a good crevice cleaner.

thanks all....went to work this morning and then decided that this afternoon, I needed to go to chiropractor. Just home now and he put it back in where it should be and then his nurse gave me an ultra sound and some deep cold. It feels much better now. I just have to take it a bit easier.

Skootz and Gracie sorry for the loss of your friends. Well, today being 'Anti-procrastination Day' I thought what have I been putting off....that hard water ring...you all know the one I'm talking about. Yes, I tackled the basement toilet. Drum roll please! It's done! It shines now just like my shiny sinks! I ended up having to use a plumbers pumice stone(the only trick is to keep the stone really wet). It worked great, I still had to used elbow grease, but it was well worth it. I washed and organized all of my sons clothes and now have them in storage containers that are labeled so everything will be easy to find when he needs them. I clean ALL of them(that I hadn't laundered before)because his idea of clean and folded isn't the same as mine. He had dog hair on so much, it drove me crazy even to look at it. I had procrastinated getting the job done. It's done! I did some room rescuing in the basement while I was there. Some Hot Spots were put out. Called for my donate items to be picked up. The lady was happy to get them, and I was happy to give. I wanted them out of my house because I knew I couldn't even remember what were in the boxes and in the bag. Well, I know what was in the bag, some were shoes that were never worn, and some worn very little...that was a hard bag not to look back into, but I didn't because I knew I would second guess and want to keep them. As some of you may remember, I LOVE shoes!!! This was a BIG move for me. If you could have seen me telling the lady about the wonderful shoes in the bag...LOL Her eyes lite up and she said "I have to try them on when I get home!" That was all I needed to hear, the shoes may find the home where they belong. Bye bye sweet shoes!!! Ok, I still need to pare down more...but it was a good start. After dinner, I was so ready to crash. I didn't, I finished cleaning the kitchen and shined my sink, knowing tomorrow morning I would be soooo happy it was done. Tomorrow and Friday will most likely be days with little done. I'm ok with that and what I've accomplished this week. Good luck to all the domestic goddesses out there edited to add-----What is Wargod thinking? All those kids, yikes!!!

*Thursday's Mission* Awwww, this is an easy one and also one that you all probably do daily in the Swish 'n Swipe. If anyone can think of a bathroom mission that isn't on the big list posted back on Monday, let us know because that's the one we could do today. Skootz, I am glad that you got to see the doc. Now taking it easy isn't easy, but you must. Are you very involved in the funeral planning or can you do sideline things? Wargod, yet more on your plate? Wow, just wow. Grace, you fell? Ackkk! I am sorry to read about your friend and have prayed for peace and comfort for your dh's best friend and for you all. Welcome, Nyheat! It's always nice to have another voice in here. You do know what that crevice cleaning is all about, don't you? ;) You hang around long enough and we'll enlighten you. (Not saying that it doesn't need to be done every now and then. No, horrors, no!) Meme, can you share exactly how much elbow grease? A few minutes' worth? LOL That's about how much my elbow is willing to scrub. Happy flying, all you beautiful flutterers, you!
