How to Keep a Glass Shower Clean
My last two homes have had glass showers in the master bath. I’ve decided that whoever invented glass showers wasn’t actually in charge of cleaning one! It only takes one shower to have the glass become spotted and dirty after a thorough cleaning. When we put our Florida home on the market last year, we had to do a few things to make it more attractive to buyers. One of the things my realtor advised us to do was give the grout & caulk a thorough cleaning before we put the house on the market. Unless you routinely scrub your grout and caulk it gets dirty and even becomes covered in mildew. Scotch-Brite has a very cool brush made just for cleaning grout! Now that the grout is nice and clean it’s time to focus on those shower doors and walls. Simply using a squeegee after you shower every day keeps the glass very clean. Scotch-Brite has an awesome squeegee that mounts right on your shower wall. Using on the squeegee on the glass daily keeps the grime off and makes weekly cleanings easier.

Love. Obsess. Inspire.
OK, you will have to forgive me, but I'm having a "proud parent" moment... Picked-up by Martha Stewart magazine as a "must-have" gift for this holiday season, my best (and very talented) friend Emily's hand-illustrated customizable photo calendar is available for purchase over at Minted. Hooray! Believe me when I say, that hours of tedious work, one to many cups of coffee, and about a dozen packets of micron pens went into this project and, for this reason alone, it is sure to be a hit with all those on your holiday shopping list!
