Everybody has their own ways of cleaning.  I have noticed that people have different ideas of clean.  And I have really noticed this as I have looked around the internet (Hello, Pinterest!) to find solutions to household cleaning questions .  I often run into “solutions” that just don’t work for my housekeeping problem.  My latest problem was our spotty, streaky, hard water stained glass shower .  You might not have noticed it immediately upon stepping into my bathroom, but I hated how spotty my glass shower was.  Mind you, it was really upon close inspection, that you would have noticed my clear problem.  And so I went to the internet to solve all my household problems.  What I wanted was “like-new” shower glass .  What I got, was not!  And I tried a LOT of solutions.

Along with your regular laundry detergent , add 1 cup of baking soda, 10 drops of tea tree oil and two towels (bath mats with a terry texture will work, too). Wash on the gentle cycle in cold water.
