Win an Under the Sink Makeover

One way I do a “lick and slick” cleaning on the bathroom is by using these two products: an automatic shower cleaner and lots of disinfecting wipes. The wipes help to quickly clean the countertop, toilet, sick, and even the mirror. The automated shower cleaner helps keep your tub and shower area cleaner so you really only have to do touch ups to certain areas. With the wipes you can even spruce up the floor on those parts that get gummed with hairspray or lint.

This works especially well if you’ve got a busy weekend and just want to spruce up the bathroom, or if company just called you and is on their way!

Lick and Slick Bathroom Cleaning

We’ve been moving so I’ve used about 16 Magic Erasures to clean 4 years of grime off the old house and other people’s grime off the new one.

The Mr. Clean Magic Erasure is a housewife’s wet dream. Really. They cost around $2.80 for two. A little too much for me to throw away the nasty ones until they’ve crumbled into a fine dust (they disintegrate as you use them.)

 The generic knock offs – and I’ve seen several brands in several different stores – cost about $1.05. So you save about 50 cents per erasure.

 But do they work?

Well, I just wiped crayon off a kitchen chair, black Sharpie off plastic drawers and coffee stains off the computer.

Cheaper Magic gets a Blog Fabulous happy boogie dance!
