Every now and then, we all experience the unsightly bathroom mold or mildew; it lingers in our tile grout and sealant lines. Besides using brand name chemicals, how can you get rid of it? Here are several options.
Tip #3:
Make a solution of one part hydrogen peroxide to two parts water in a spray bottle. Spray onto areas with mold or mildew. Wait one hour before rinsing.
Another cleaning solution, involves equal parts vinegar and water sprayed onto the area.
Or, if you prefer, 1 part bleach to 10 parts water. Again, spray the area. Rinse thoroughly, followed by a light vinegar wash and a final rinse.
The art of homemaking is more than shining floors or ironed shirts, it is a way of life for many men and women. Beyond the daily chores routine, many homemakers teach children, volunteer their time, garden, or create a loving environment enriched by dutiful hands. Texas Homemaking seeks to encourage homemakers through crafts, useful tips, goal setting, organizing charts, daily deals, family issues, homeschooling, and more.

Cleaning 101 - Tip #2
It seems everyone can always use a little help with inexpensive cleaning ideas to keep our homes beautiful and refreshing. Martha Stewart's Homecleaning Solutions: Bathroom Cleaning Tips are useful and practical. The site offers recipes to make your own cleaning products for certain jobs, informs you how to wash your shower linens, and clean bathroom toys. There is also an advertisment spot for Martha's cleaning products. I've never used them, so I can't say how well they work, but I do know her time-tested, homemade recipes do.
Cleaning Tip #2 "Clean bacteria and mildew from bath toys by giving them a vinegar-water bath. Fill a bucket or large bowl with warm water, adding 1/2 cup white vinegar per gallon of water. Soak toys for 10 minutes, then rub gently with a sponge and allow to dry. The acetic acid in vinegar cuts through dirt buildup and works as a natural disinfectant."
