Product of the Night

Tonight I gave in to the ever growing mysterious (possibly soap scum caused) stains of my bathtub. Tonight, however, was no ordinary cleaning. Having run out of the usual soft scrub with bleach as well as a few other house hold necessities, I turned to the local grocery store.

The trip to the grocery store (the particular store will not be named as my wishes are to neither favor nor oppose the unmentioned establishment) was adventuresome alone. I don’t have the energy to recount the fives upon tens of children under the age of three that were screaming the entire time I was there or the fact that there were only 2 cashiers open during one of the busiest grocery shopping times of the day. Let’s just say I got some food (though nutritional value is questionable) and a new cleaning product. I’m not sure why, but the Lysol section caught my eye.

I picked up Lysol’s “Disinfectant Bathroom Spray” in aerosol form. Yes, aerosol. I hear that’s good for the environment – with today’s technology and all. Also, I’m tired of wasting my limited grip strength on pumping and pumping. According to the directions, all I have to do with this new product is spray then wipe. No scrubbing. Phenom-enal. If there’s a stubborn stain, I just wait a little longer!

I raced home from the store, parked right on my corner (score!), dashed up the stairs, changed, made and ate dinner, ran some laundry, pretended like I was working, then finally got off my butt to start cleaning. Let me tell you, internet public, the directions were right. The lack of effort on my part encouraged me to clean not only the entire shower (well, aside from behind where my shampoo is, I’m not moving things here) but also clean my sink and vanity!

I highly recommend this product to everyone. Maybe not children. They should have to learn to scrub like the rest of us. Once they’ve adequately paid their dues, we can share this modern marvel.
