Vinegar, in a bottle and then add a little bit of water to dilute it enough to spray out of a spray bottle, spray the mixture on your doors - wait 30 mins to an hour depending how bad the doors are - and then you can rinse/wipe down with a sponge and water and then windex. Let the mix do the work for you. You may have to scrub a little with an scrubby sponge the first time, but each week it will get cleaner and cleaner!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-307970033172736854.post-43997896144289761492017-03-17T18:31:58.165-06:002017-03-17T18:31:58.165-06:00The easiest way to get your shower doors clean is ...The easiest way to get your shower doors clean is kaboom and a magic eraser sponge Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-307970033172736854.post-63834152519737795322017-02-28T22:56:11.064-07:002017-02-28T22:56:11.064-07:00It doesn't workIt doesn't workAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15950268315560438191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-307970033172736854.post-70397608707739405052017-02-22T21:40:09.120-07:002017-02-22T21:40:09.120-07:00I cleaned homes while our daughter was in school. ...I cleaned homes while our daughter was in school. It is hard work. I felt like friends didn't take me seriously as a person, looked down their nose. However, as time went on, my business really grew. I had a few "cheap" clients and they would ask unreasonable cleaning jobs also.....guess what? I got rid of them. Almost all of my clients became friends and respected me. I love your tip with the dryer sheets. Cleaning products are expensive.

I pay what is asked of me - I hope my cleaner doesn't think I am a 'cheapskate' - I would be horrified! Should I be paying above and beyond the amount (plus a small tip)?
