What kind of bird is this?

Here a squirt,
there a squirt,
every where a squirt squirt-

Scrub a dub dub!

Who started this thread?

editing to add-
Egads terryr, this is an example of the ultimate hi-jacking of a thread. Blame Ginger!
Forgive me for the breath holding and arm chair gripping experience that is occuring in your Chipping Sparrow thread.

Don't miss a spot! Scrub down deep into the toilet lest the toilet bowl police come and get you!

Flush and spot check-

Oh LOOK!

Our first action shot from the demo! Check out that spray action will ya!

***Caution***
Avoid overspray! Wallpaper is extremely labor intensive to take down and put back up!

Get your paper towels and make sure every outer surface is wiped-

Self explanatory.

Ever wonder why your toothbrush disappears every now and then?
Well, wonder no more ;)

Just kidding but...
old toothbrushes really are great for little cracks and crevices that are hard to reach otherwise.

I know you all are riveted to your seats right about now but I'm too tired to load any more photos.

Stay tuned for the conclusion of this action packed toilet bowl scrubbing demo drama.

I think they call this a cliff hanger. Well, sort of.

To be continued...

About time Eqi.
You missed a bit of skid mark on Pic. number 4.
Remind me to sleep with my tooth brush when I visit YOU .

I WILL be looking for the continued version Manyana . Kell

EQ, I am going to have to give a C for your toilet cleaning effort. You have missed the same part that my cleaning ladies miss even though I have reminded them several times.

Please wipe down the outside of the base of the stool!

joe! I thought I was only woman on the planet Earth that wiped down the outside base of the bowl!

Equil, that's why you don't have wall paper. It gets messed up to easily. Not to mention the drips that can accumulate there if one of the males in your home are not paying attention. I told you about the bathroom down in AR, me cleaning it while staying with my grandpa?? Never use a towel that hangs on the toilet side of the vanity! Ewwwww!!!

And yes, Mark took the photo, so it's his responsibility to deliver the prizes. If women nag, what do they call it when a man does the exact same thing?? I think ginger and Mark both do their fair share!

Here's the squirrel.

We don`t nag .
We simply Express our point of view .
And very fairly I might add . lol

Express your point of view over and over and over and over........very fairly......over and over and over...........;)

Nag
1. to annoy by persistent faultfinding, complaints, or demands.

I had no idea that terry thought ginger and I annoy her by persistent faultfinding, complaints, or demands!

I don't think that she's right. That really upsets me and I reqire an apology! :)

I perfected the cleaning of TB's while in the Navy. In the head(bathroom) were 4 showers, 4 TB's, 2 urinals and 3 sinks-all for abt 68 men. When assigned the duty, you had from 8-10:30 before inspection, which were the executive officer, the master at arms(ships cop), and the chief corpsman(senior enlisted doc-didn't have officer docs). The doc would actually stick his head in the urinal and toilet to smell, and use a mirror to inspect under the ring. He'd wipe the sink and shower walls to check for scouring powder residue. Needless to say, it had to be spotless. I've been on other ships with less regimen, and in hind sight was very glad of the added scrutiny. Using pinesol, bleach and water mixture, generously spray interior bowl, and generally exterior top to bottom including seats. Scrub interior, coming out to top ring a bit to get urine stains and any stray pub's back into bowl. 3 sheets paper towel, starting at top, then tank, top of cover, then bottom, top of seat, then bottom; then get TB ring of bowl, including around seat connection, then wipe down bowl exterior. Need to fold paper towel around as necc. Scrub bowl interior one more time, flush cleaning brush and done. Spotlessly clean, smells great and no residue from scouring powders. My unsoliscited 2 cents.

vadap,

How do you do showers and sinks? It sounds like you know and I HATE cleaning bathrooms!

Sinks similar to above, only toothpaste can be aggrivating(finally got my gf trained to rinse sinkbowl after spitting-sometimes not important at 4am-LOL). I forget the brand, but the bubbling foam is my fav for showers-spray it on, let sit for a bit, then I have this big handle brush from work(you can get in HD, Lowes, etc in cleaning section-yellow or green bristles) thet I simply scrub tub down. I like the brush because it has a longer handle, and a large brush face with long bristles. Gets the height, corners and grout really good. My 2 biggest peeves are dirty bathrooms and dirty kitchens. I like 'em clean.

Psst, I got the underside of the toilet rim in a photo above so don't be thinking I miss the underside of the rim. We have well water here and from time to time we end up with mineral deposits. When that happens, I use Ajax and a scouring pad but I had already done that on this toilet a few months ago!

(patting self of back for a job well done)
The completed job-

Ah, simple green, my favorite cleaner in the world, with a little bleach added! I was guilty of the "little boy syndrom" when I was a young whipper snapper. More impressed with the dynamics of hydraulic pressure flow than being distracted. More like being entertained, and I didn't have to clean it up(wasn't only boy in house, and only 4 or 5).

And, on your way out of the bathroom... check to make sure the stock of toilet paper has not been depleted lest one of the little darlings gets the bright idea to use the shower curtain in a pinch-

Nice and shiny equil. It would be a pleasure to utilize your facilities. LOL

Bet you all thought I was a slacker and missed the base of the toilet!

Say-
I think vadap should do a demo on showers or sinks! What say the people of this thread? Should we take a vote or just expect vadap to produce the goods by contributing to our "almost as much fun as watching paint dry" demo series.

Oops, typing when you were typing. We don't make anyone use their bathrooms. Adults get to use other bathrooms. You never know when a kid forgot to lift the seat because they had things to do and places to go (lazy) and nobody likes sitting in tinkle!

ROTFLMBO! Don't tell me that the shower curtain knowledge is from personal experience. That is just to funny! I appreciate the nomination, but alas, no camera except the throw away kind, and what a pain in the butt those are.

First good gut busting laugh all week(and it's been a llllooonnnggggg week). Thanks, equil. Paul.

The shower curtain is from a personal experience but it wasn't one of ours. It was one of their little friends from scouts who did it and to aggravate the situation, the kid attempted to clean up the evidence. I must admit I was aghast. Just when you think you have seen it all...

Mine have run out of towels and were too lazy to get out and go to the linen closet and have used the shower curtain to dry off but they have never used the shower curtain as toilet paper. That kid must have been having an out of body experience in my bathroom that weekend. I did take him to the side and showed him a roll on the back of the tank as well as where the stash of toilet paper was. He said ok and ran off to play in the sand box. Not much you can do. That shower curtain was haning there innocently and he improvised. The problem is that we don't put toilet paper on the dispensers over here in favor of wedging it in the holder or setting it on the back of the toilet bowl water tank. The kid didn't realize there was a roll sitting on the back of the tank so he reached for that which was most convenient... my shower curtain.

We do have repeated and habitual toilet seat lifter upper offenders over here. It's a phase. I hope they clean up their acts before they get married but by then it won't be my problem any longer.

Well thank goodness you do a thorough job of cleaning that toilet! Because to think I used one and it wasn't clean, well let's just say I was thinking of hovering next time!!

Psssssttt......to anyone who does use the facilites at Equil's, please don't put the roll of toilet of paper on the dispenser!

Mark, please accept my apology and I accept yours ;)

Paul, I know my father was never in the Navy, but you describe him to a T! I can't even begin to count all the times I had to re-clean to his satisfaction. And Equil wonders why I get anal when I'm cleaning........What did you call me Equil? "One of those neat people"?? ;)

Yes yes yes, the cats shred the toilet paper and big slobbery dogs drink out of that toilet that you used in the entryway. Water and dog slobber is still better than boy pee any day of the week! Hover baby, Hover!

Equil, you want my job? You clean better than I do! LOL. I am not a neat person and I have a job that requires me cleaning up after people. What a mix. LOL

That's what the big joke is. I'm a clean person for the most part but not a neat person and particularly not during the gardening season. My family is lucky if they get one square meal a day during that time frame. terryr is the little suzie homemaker with the clean and neat house.

LOL. You would laugh if you saw my room right now. My desk is covered in papers, mags and other junk, my floor is covered in shoes and puzzles and I have clothes everywhere. I have cobwebs hiding in corners, dust on every surface, and it drives everyone except me batty. I just shrug and smile and say I cleaned for 8 hrs today at work. I'm done. lol

terryr has also been accused of having OCD..........

Equil, I'm like you, clean but not neat. And like pep, my bdrm is a disaster area, but it is clean- dusted, clean sheets, and vacuumed where I can get it. LOL terryr, I start cleaning in kitchen and bathroom, and gf(past and present) will say they already did it, to which I reply "OK", and continue. One thing taught in military more than anything is attention to detail. Most get taught that w/out even realizing. I had one gf who had to keep everything organized and in its place, even before going out for the evening, but the place was not clean, Drove me absolutely nuts.

LOL. I can't be around people who are that neat without moving something out of place on purpose.

Pep , Shaking head at you .

Paul , Keep up the good work .

LOL.

One could say it's "my attention to detail" that is the most annoying......

pepper, you can touch all you want when you come for a visit. I'll just follow behind you putting things back where they belong...lol...;)

Don't worry, I would just mess with them when I leave.
