Today's Good Things

I got the yellow mineral stains off my bathtub! It's white again! (is it sad that's the top of my list?)

The wine and cheese sausages I cooked up for tomorrow night's dinner.

The smell of fried onions and potatoes and sausages.

My perfume samples shipped out today and will be here Wednesday!

Working on my birthday gathering in July. Wine tasting tour and finalizing what food I'm going to serve.

The Blood Orange organic Italian soda Nin got me yesterday.

My awesome friends.

The scent of the strawberry lemonade candle.

Rereading favourite fic of mine.

More wine!

Lysol Power Toilet Bowl Cleaner! I'd about given up on the tub, but on a whim, decided to try it. It worked! We have an old enamel tub and it never looks clean. It may be too harsh for some surfaces, but it was fine on our tub.

Hm. Maybe I should try that. My current method (I have an ancient tub with feet) is to periodically pour about a cup of bleach in 2-3" of water and let it sit in the tub. I make sure to take a few showers before my next bath.

I've tried bleach, Comet, X14, nothing got the yellow off. I tried the Lysol stuff on a whim after accidentally stripping bits of paint off my toilet seat. I didn't realize what Nin bought was a different Lysol bowl cleaner from last time, and I was bad and dind't read the back. Ooops! Let's just say you don't want to use it on plastic or painted surfaces.

I'll have to look into it. The people who I bought the house from had less interest in cleaning than I do. You would not have beleived the oven or the fan over the stove.

It was sure nice having a white sparkling tub again!
