Spring Cleaning?
I just read in our local newspaper that spring cleaning is in season and I must start tackling clutter in my household such as...
A mini bacteria volcano evolving in my own home?
Granted, I hate using a bathroom in most public places, but I always envisioned my home's powder room to be of the utmost clean, pristine and immaculate corner of my home.
And now I'm getting all queasy just thinking about how many times I've left that lid up for the past 43 years after flushing.
I'm sorry - I must go - those lids need to be put down immediately.
- ice - did you know you should stir the ice in your ice-maker to freshen it, as well as discard the ice every month?
- pillows can be machine-washed and should be every three to six months?
- one should dust all lampshades with a sock on your hand?
- close the toilet lid before you flush... otherwise you could be causing a "mini bacteria volcano" every time you flush.

I heard that somewhere years ago -- that when you flush, germs can go from your toilet up to 5 or 6 feet away. That could reach a toothbrush -- yuck!! Ever since, I've been vigilant about putting the lids down!!
But the ice thing? That never would have occurred to me... and I have a feeling I probably won't be doing that. Our ice has always tasted just fine. :)
Too funny! I saw that yesterday morning on THE EARLY SHOW...and bought new toothbrushes at Target yesterday afternoon!
