This week we are in Zone 3 – The Master Bathroom and One Other Room. If you are like most of us, the shower walls do not get wiped down often. Today, let’s change that. Spray down your shower walls and tub and wipe them down. I wipe mine down daily with The FlyLady’s purple rag. Since I am doing it daily, I don’t need to use any chemicals to clean it. We have hard water and iron in our water, so the shower walls can get yucky quickly. I timed myself, and it took me less than two minutes to wipe down my shower walls, tub, swish the toilet, and wipe the sinks and counter.
Set your timer and do a quick room rescue in one other room for 15 minutes. You will be surprised at what you can accomplish in a short amount of time.
