My 2 Best Friends

About nine months out of the year I have 2 best friends. For those of you unaware Houston is a giant swamp. That's where we get the name the Bayou City. Houston is extremely humid. Gross humid. Some days in the middle of summer you can't even get completely dry after you shower. Moisture hangs in the air. I have one battle that I fight over and over and it is MOLD! I hate mold. It's nasty, gross, and it seems to be everywhere. I think that I am generally a pretty clean person. I like to clean and sometimes list it as something I do for fun. I am one of those people that likes quick results (that's why I can never lose weight). Cleaning gives me quick results: your house is dirty a few hours later it's spotless. I love that feeling. Anyways, back to mold. Mold loves my bathrooms. Every 3 days or so it starts growing in the toilets. I should invest in Scrub & Bubbles stock because I go through their toilet bowl cleaner like crazy. I've never seen mold grow in toilets like it does here. I've tried everything I can to prevent it, but nothing works. We even have the problem in our shower. Now if I never cleaned my house then I would understand this, but I clean all the time. So this is where my 2 best friends come in. I have to say that a deadly concoction of Tilex Mold and Mildew and Bleach will wipe it out with minimal scrubbing. I also add a little CLR To help with the hard water. Yesterday as I cleaned the shower the fumes were burning my throat, but it was a good burn and I knew I had won the mold battle this week!

You are hilarious, no really the things you come up with... Well at least you know how to get rid of it!
