Cleaning tip

Maybe you already do this is, but it was news to me so I thought I would share!

Our tub was gross when we moved in. It has a terrible drip and the hard water had built up scum on the sides. Nate called his mom for advice and this is what we did:

After leaving it overnight, we drained the tub and then wiped the scum away. No scrubbing. I was amazed. The spot that was left is actually where the constant drip has rubbed away the finish on the tub.  Still need to take care of the chrome. Maybe I can unscrew that and soak it in vinegar too.

Other upcoming projects:
Re-caulking the bathroom
New kitchen floor (floating floor)
Painting one wall in the kitchen
Composter

Completed:
New deadbolt in the front door (can you believe they didn't have a deadbolt here??!)
Window locking system (no locks in most of the windows either!!!)
Cleaned out the washing machine (soooo gross! i gagged.)
Rain barrel

We've come to the conclusion that this old house is going to be a good trial-run for owning our own house! We don't have to do all these improvements but sometimes it's easier than waiting on the landlord. And we don't mind getting our hands a little dirty. Projects are fun and we are learning a lot.

Do you have any cleaning tips that you swear by?
