There are two things I haven’t been doing that I really need to squeeze into my mornings. One is eating breakfast so my blood sugar doesn’t get too low. The other is Swish & Swipe, or S&S for short.
Swish & Swipe is simply wiping up in the bathroom each morning after you are done in there. Wipe off the mirror, wipe the faucet and sink. Keep some water with a little cheap soap (Flay Lady even uses old shampoo!) in your toilet brush container, then just take a quick swish around the bowl. If you do it every day it really will keep your bathroom sparkly. Another trick is while you are in the shower, just before getting out, take your soapy rag and wash one wall. That will keep the soap scum from building up. You will never have to spend hours scrubbing the bathroom again, if you do these little things.
So yesterday I actually managed to do both of these before I left for work. Now I just need to keep doing them.
I can attest from previous experience that even if the toilet isn’t sparkly clean when you start, if you will do it every day, then it won’t be long before it is sparkly. Just remember baby steps and don’t burn yourself out trying to do everything at once.
