We don't have one, and I've been dreaming of relaxing in one with a glass of wine and a book ever since I told Cap'n Firepants, "We don't really need a tub. A shower is fine." That was 5 years ago. <br /><br />You're lucky you don't have a Wonderbutt - because his fumes mixed with CLR would probably cause a major gas explosion.<br /><br />~whatimeant2sayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508414439548446424.post-66461366477625122942013-07-11T09:48:29.078-07:002013-07-11T09:48:29.078-07:00I'm so happy that I found you!

I got a *little* obsessed with the dishwasher and noticed (this is REALLY gross, so that's your warning) these black rectangles in the corners of the door of the washer. I didn't have my glasses on and I was all, "hmm. I've never seen that before." then I swiped a sponge over it and it started to come off. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! it was, frankly, unholy. THEN I got my glasses. AAAAND then I wanted to throw up. it was like years of mold and mildew and disgustingness that I am assuming has been washing over my dishes for years. yes. I know. that's pretty, right? so, I carefully (and by that I mean with a hazmat suit on) removed the little rubber things (truth be told I am SURE I broke the washer by doing that) and washed them and the corners with more CLR. so, basically. we are gonna die pretty soon. I think when they sell you a Jacuzzi or whirlpool tub there should be a full cleaning disclosure statement.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00015313115711205106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508414439548446424.post-67704362666670935582013-07-09T13:56:55.004-07:002013-07-09T13:56:55.004-07:00I am CRYING...seriously...
When my ex-husband and...I am CRYING...seriously...<br /><br />When my ex-husband and I moved into our last house...same friggin' thing. I had a 6' jacuzzi tub installed. <br /><br />Anyhoo...I just used to fill it with hot water and half a keg of bleach, once a month or so, and let it run...and try and ignore the floating bits of something that I suspect was the unholy result of when black mold mates with botchalism. <br /><br />The kids used to like to go in their with some Johnson's bath soap, which would make more foam than a drug-fueled bubble party. In retrospect...maybe the germ exposure is the reason they can't do math now. Frick.

At this point I don't thing I have ANY skin or possibly even fingerprints? because I have just spent the last 2 hours scrubbing the inside of the toilet bowl with a pumice stone from the plumbing department, this after an entire bottle of CLR failed to make much of a dent, although it burned like mad when I got in on my hand. and it STILL looks like I has never been cleaned. If you really do have a sledgehammer could I please borrow it. The toilet needs to have an accident.
