So, I'm not really one of those women who keeps a super clean house. And I don't really want to be. Because that would mean that I was spending a lot of time cleaning, which I really dislike. I prefer to use my homemaking skills in more creative endeavors. But the house has to be cleaned, so I look for every shortcut that I can find.
Here's my tip for cleaning my large porcelain kitchen sink, at the same time that I get my dishrag and dishtowel white. I have a bunch of white dishrags and towels. I bought a couple of the large packs at Target a couple of years ago. Once a week, I choose the dingiest washrag and dish towel and lay them flat in the bottom of my kitchen sink. I then spray the rag/towel covered sink down with a multipurpose cleaner that contains bleach (it's Target's Up and Up brand all-purpose spray cleaner, but there are others on the market, that's just the one I use). I let the saturated rag/towel stay in the sink for a couple of hours, until looking bleached. Then I lightly wring them out and add to a load of white laundry to be washed, and give the sink a good rinsing. My sink is clean and one washrag and one dish towel look white again.
Help me out here. What do you do to minimize your housework?
