I am the only person in my household who cleans bathrooms. In fact, based on a recent survey of the other residents of the house, I am the only one living here who even notices whether a bathroom is clean or not. Unfortunately, I share a bathroom with the dirtiest member of the family. Meet Marcus, a bundle of bad habits in a fluffy white package.
He looks innocent, doesn't he?
Meet Marcus’ bathtub ring.
He always leaves the cleaning to me.
When we got a small white puppy, it didn’t occur to us that we might be spending most of the next five years living in a construction zone. But that is exactly what happened. And Marcus has shown a deep love of rolling in dirt, knocking down garbage cans and eating the juicy stuff that spills out, and mess in all its forms, that makes him a very undesirable bathroom partner. After six years of intensive work, I’ve finally been able to get him to sit on commmand. But I don’t think he’s ever going to scour out the bathtub.
Last weekend I typed up a 15-step list for “How to Clean the Bathroom” and hung it up. The kids are going to take turns on the weekend cleaning their shared bathroom.
Surprisingly, I think they actually like it once they get started, Ruby was even whistling while she worked. I still have to clean the other two bathrooms.
That is one impressive bathtub ring. Give that dog a container of “scrubbing bubbles” my personal bathroom cleaning product.
