Among our quirky habits is the way we clean the shower: right before taking one, stark naked.
But it only seems strange until you try it. Then you realize the benefits: you're better-situated to get at hard-to-reach spots than you'd be if you were standing outside the tub, you don't have to worry about keeping your clothes dry, and it's no matter if you break a sweat or get dirty, beacuse you clean up right away.
But nekkid shower cleaning is not what this post is really about.
It's about an intermin bathroom cleaning strategy advocated by "How to Clean Anything," a website filled with ideas for home godliness.
Their little how-to on bathroom cleanliness left us a little awe-struck by its meticulousness. Suffice it to say that it involves a cleaning towel carefully-folded to yield eight cleaning surfaces, each designated for a different spot in the bathroom, and that there is an order in which you should attack your bathroom's surfaces.
Using one of your towels folded into quarters, polish the mirror after a quick spray of window cleaner. Give the chrome, sink and counter a quick spray, flip the towel to a clean dry side, and wipe it down, then flip the towel again, and polish to a brilliant shine. Flip your towel to another dry clean side and spray the toilet seat and rim. Wipe and polish dry the seat, under the seat and rim. Flip the towel to another clean dry surface and you can use the spray and towel to spot clean the floor.

butt nekkid cleaning is a great idea. Particularly for the times I attack the grout w/a paste of Tide and Clorox.
I think it's not a bad idea, I have done it before trying to keep clothes from getting bathroom crud on them, and I use Method products so I am less worried about them getting on me and then I can wash off when I'm done. But seriously though, Tide and Clorox just sounds like something that should be done with a mask and proper ventilation. And probably clothing.
I didn't realize people cleaned the shower with their clothes on.
Haha.. That's how I clean! I always thought I was probably a little weird for doing it that way but it made sense to me. Yay for nekkid bathroom cleaners!
... and the pictures?
Funny, I thought I was the only one that did this. Getting buck ass nekkid & working up a sweat cleaning the stall, then taking a shower is the best.
As a matter of fact we should do this as a group/party get aquainted get together don't you think?
The possibilities;)
I clean the loo in the nude as well. My friends always thought it was an odd idea...but it totally makes sense to me.
wow. i feel so much better knowing i'm not the only person who cleans the shower nekked. it just makes so much more sense. btw...i use the Method cleaner because i realized that if i cleaned with the stronger products that my nearness to them left me feeling a little dizzy.
Okay, okay...doesn't anyone remember the Seinfeld where Jerry's girlfriend cleaned in the nude?...I mean really, although I truly love ya' fellow "apartmentheraparians", I dare must say, I think you may have demonstrated that sometimes...well, less can be just too much - information, that is...
Me too! There is no other way to clean a shower with an attached sliding glass door. You HAVE to be in there to get everything good and clean.
