This week I teamed up with four other bloggers to bring you some great ideas on how to refresh, clean, and organize your bathroom (have you thought about what you’d stencil yet?). I hope you found some ideas and inspiration that encouraged you to declutter, decorate, or “winter clean” your rooms! If you did, then it’s your turn to share YOUR accomplishments- and I, for one, can’t wait to see what you’ve come up with- I need all the help I can get. Sigh.
Link up your blog post below and it will show up here and on all my buddies blogs:
Christine from I Dream of Clean (who revealed her method for speed cleaning a bathroom).
Lauren from Mama’s Laundry Talk (shared advice on how often to wash your bathmats and towels.)
Nony from A Slob Comes Clean (showed how she organized her bathroom cabinets according to how her family really lives).
And if you don’t have a blog, be sure to tell us in the comments what you do (or plan to do!) to make your bathrooms “shine.”
I believe a cottage can be anywhere or anything (condo, ranch, farmhouse) as long as you have a "cottage mentality" which puts people above things, celebrates imperfections, embraces simplicity, and finds joy in everyday life. Thanks for joining me!
Cant wait to link my bathroom project thanks for hosting.
The wife of a work buddy gave me this one, and I think it’s pretty cool. Fix a bucket of diluted cleaner. She used something kind of toxic, but I use a natural cleaner or just vinegar and water. Grab your mop, submerge in bucket and mop the walls and floor of your shower/tub, rinse if needed. It takes just a couple of minutes. Then, mop the front of the tub and keep on going with the bathroom floor.

I don’t have a blog but wanted to share what I read about a year ago, sorry I don’t remember where. I really wasn’t expecting much but was desperate to not use chemicals because I have cats. So you mix 1 part ORIGINAL BLUE DAWN ( was very specific it had to be this) and 3 parts vinegar in a spray bottle. Spray all over shower(I spray it on pretty heavy). Instructions said to wait an hour and rinse but I wait about a half hour and wipe everything down with a cloth and no I do not have to scrub. You will see the soap scum being wiped away. Then rinse really well. I did this 2x in a row to get all the build up off and now try to do it 1x a week and my shower always looks great. Even my husband commented how good it looks. I still can’t believe how easy and fast it is to keep the shower clean. On a side note on one of my trips to the vet the lady at the front desk told me how she had just lost one of her cats. She used Kaboom shower cleaner and the cat got a little on its paw and licked it off and it killed the cats kidneys. I shared with her my new formula and was so happy I didn’t give up looking for a non-toxic alternative!
Brenda- I love that idea, thanks for sharing!
Tami- wow. I can’t believe that about the vet’s cat- so sad. And your tip is great, thanks for sharing it! I usually just use straight vinegar (with a little essential oil to cut the smell) and it keeps my shower clean and keeps that yucky pink mold away, to boot! But I don’t have a lot of soap scum, so maybe the Dawn helps with that. Isn’t vinegar the best thing?!
