Cleaning Tip #3587

With the change over of new management in the University Villa, talk of ultra-strict cleaning checks circulated the complex, via a piece of paper published by the management itself warning of a cleaning check crackdown, much like Soviet Russia warning its citizens that being a kulak could be detrimental to your health. In a paranoid, frenzied fit of cleaning, our apartment has been turning the place upside down in hopes to pass without paying the Villa anymore money than we have to, as we now view them more as unscrupulous pirates than anything else.

After scrubbing the tub for two hours, there was still residue of dirt and grime on the bottom. I resigned myself to God and hoped for a merciful outcome, when Dantzel suggested this simple trick. Merely wet the tub down, then sprinkle an all purpose cleaner like Comet on it. Then lay a towel on the surface, and slide around on your feet. Apparently, the whole weight of your body is much stronger than the force you can apply bent over with your hand(s) - go figure - and you can clean the surface of the tub completely within minutes.

I was somewhat skeptical that such a simple tip would make cleaning the tub that easy, for the way Dantzel was describing it, I would not only be finished with the chore quickly, but I will have barely burned enough calories to constitute a Tic-Tac in the process. but trustingly, I went ahead and did it anyway. Literally in less than two minutes, I was able to scour the blackened, cankerous portions of my tub's soul and restore its bottom to a cleanliness rivaled only by its original look. The entire scrubbing session with my feet could not have lasted for more than a minute (rather, it was more around the duration of thirty seconds). Had I not witnessed it for myself with my own eyes, I would not have believed the ease in this.

So, if you have need to clean the tub anytime soon, follow those simple instructions. You'd be surprised how easy it is to restore your tub from the foulest pitch of darkness to its clean, pure white state. But don't take my word for it.

Bu-dum dum!
