style=\"text-align: center;\">Happy Monday!!\u00a0 I am announcing to the world right now that this is not a sexy post.\u00a0 In fact, it is downright ugly and embarrassing at times.\u00a0 It could probably get me a big fat condemned sign from the US Health Dept.\u00a0 However, I am going to be a brave girl and put it all out there\u00a0 \u2013 yuckiness and all.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img

data-jpibfi-indexer=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">You know how you sometimes feel as if you should wear your flip flops into the shower in some hotels?\u00a0 Well, with our yearly travels in third world countries, I have had that feeling more than once.\u00a0 Yep!!\u00a0 The hotel star rating system doesn\u2019t mean the same thing in every country.\u00a0 On the home front, I knew it was time for a really good take-down\/drag-out with our shower because I was starting to feel as if I needed flip flops in my very own bathroom.\u00a0 I know\u2026.I have been traveling four out of the past six weeks, and it was time to do some deep cleaning (also known as fall cleaning) in my home.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"Shower door gross\" src=\"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Shower-door-gross-1024x681.jpg\" width=\"614\" height=\"409\" data-jpibfi-indexer=\"1\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">The shower door in the master bath was looking REALLY gross.\u00a0 I clean it weekly with a vinegar and water solution to get rid of the water spots, but it was all gummed up around the seal, and the glass still wasn\u2019t clear and sparkly.\u00a0 I decided to put on my <del>boxing<\/del> rubber gloves and get to work.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Shower door\" src=\"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_6560-1024x681.jpg\" width=\"614\" height=\"409\" data-jpibfi-indexer=\"2\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">First, I gently removed the seal and then used an old razor blade to scrape away the built-up crud that was under the seal.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"IMG_6564\" src=\"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_6564-1024x673.jpg\" width=\"614\" height=\"404\" data-jpibfi-indexer=\"3\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Then I used an old wet wash cloth and some hotel shampoo without conditioner (very important) and gave it a good scrubbing.\u00a0 You can use any plain shampoo.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t have to be from a hotel, but I find that those little bottles have about the right amount to clean our entire shower door.\u00a0 It is important that the shampoo doesn\u2019t have conditioner because it will leave a residue on the shower door.\u00a0 You don\u2019t want that.\u00a0 After the shower door was soaped up really well, then I just kept wiping it off with an old, clean, wet, wash cloth.\u00a0 When I thought that all of the shampoo had been removed, then I wiped it down with a clean, dry towel.<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Clean a shower door w\/ shampoo\" src=\"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_6562-1024x598.jpg\" width=\"614\" height=\"359\" data-jpibfi-indexer=\"4\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Do you see anything other than the marble here?\u00a0 Exactly.\u00a0 I took this photo from the inside of the shower through the clean glass, and there isn\u2019t a speck of any soapy, yucky residue.\u00a0 So, what\u2019s the lesson here?\u00a0 When it comes to cleaning a shower door, use shampoo and water.\u00a0 That\u2019s all you need.\u00a0 Save the other cleaners for the rest of the room.<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"Clean the shower door w\/ shampoo\"

on the door handles and all of the faucets, too.\u00a0 So, now that my bathroom is back to a good ole USA five star, I\u2019m going to go take a steam bath. We\u2019ll see you tomorrow.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Take care.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we were looking back at our blog posts from last October in forder to feature one on today&#8217;s recap, we were pretty proud of our choices.\u00a0 However, the one we selected has been one of our most-liked, most-pinned, most-viewed posts ever.\u00a0 If you haven&#8217;t tried it yet, it really works.\u00a0 Please enjoy the recap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24593"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24593"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24593\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24765,"href":"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24593\/revisions\/24765"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
