  8. These are some really clever ideas. I’m going to try that shower liner trick so we can make ours last longer.

  9. The best thing I did was decide to order a bunch of PVC liners. I swap out the liner frequently and toss the cloth liner in the wash. It’s SO much better than trying to clean a liner! Now, I need to get on those other uses for dryer sheets.

    I can use all the help I can get regarding keeping the house clean!

  17. I’ve been using the shower gel for a long time now, no one believed me, I told them just try it!
