Fuller Brush and Scrubbin' the Tub

[shopreturn]

I have a major headache. It could be the very strong odor of the QVC Fuller Brush bathroom cleaner, or it could be that I hate scrubbing the tub. lol.

There is a warning on the bottle. Well-ventilated space, blah blah blah.

I had to stop scrubbing to come here and start this new thread. Any excuse not to clean?

Where my MAID????

[shopreturn]

no one even cares that my brain will be damaged by all these chemicals I bought from QVC! I'll bring a suit! haha.

*boo hoo* that no one is responding with sympathy for my headache.

i'm sorry you're hurting, shopreturn. i'm even sorrier you were scrubbing the tub. take two (or three) shots of anything and tomorrow, your headache will be justified.

get a swiffer and some scrubbing bubbles, and next time, it won't hurt hearly as much.

shopreturn: I'm reaching for a tissue (as I type) in staunch support of your tub cleaning woes! There, there, now ... feel better?

Yankee: You crack me up with your frequent booze references! Must be why I like you so much!

Oh shopreturn, I'm sorry about your headache. Maybe the Fuller Brush products should come with one of those guys to do the "dirty work." From what you said it's more like "smelly work. :) Your headache will be all better later...

I knew if I whined long and loud enough, someone would give me the pity I so richly deserve.

scrubbing bubbles=champagne?
I know what the swiffer is, but scrubbig bubbles eludes me.

Thanks for those crocodile tears. *rme*
after all we've been though on the BE thread! : )

Denim.
great idea...depending on what the Fuller Brush man looks like. *heheh*

shopreturn: I hafta tell ya ... my hubby BEGS me to hire a maid, but I won't do it cuz I'm SUPER WOMAN and I can do everything---gaffaw! The ol' Peggy Lee song "I'm a Woman, W-O-M-A-N" comes to mind---have you ever heard it? Anyway, I have a theory (really, a concensus from friends) that men whose mothers had maids, expect their wives to have maids. I always knew my mother-in-law had maid service when hubby was growing up, but I just recently learned her maid worked THREE days a week!!! Can you believe it? My mother would never hire a maid cuz no one could possibly clean as well as she. I feel the same way, except I don't clean as often, especially since discovering this forum!!! Anyway, I don't need a maid, I prefer a WIFE (someone who'll do for me what I've been doing for my family for years)!

If you're still not feeling well, you might try getting some fresh air....

shopreturn - WAIT! don't waste your champagne! scrubbing bubbles is a bathroom cleaner from the grocery store. (i think Dow Chemical makes it.) on the commercial, they show little bubbles with brushes coming out of the bottom (or course, it's animated) and they say "We work hard so you don't have to."

it comes out of the can as a liquid, but turns to foam on the surface, so it at least LOOKS like it's doing something. and it smells great.

i've got two plastic knees, so i can't scrub on my knees. my swiffer is great at giving me leverage in the corners and across the bottom of the tub. scrubbing bubbles and swiffer are my best friends in the bathroom!

oh, Lord! have i lived alone too long?!

Shopreturn, no, no, the tissue was for YOU, not for my "crocodile tears"! How are you feeling? Recently I was scrubbing Elle's shower with Zud (love that stuff!) and in my zeal added bleach for cleaning pizzazz. BIG mistake. My eyes began burning and I developed a headache that lasted for hours. I won't mix those two cleansers again! I hope you've recovered and your headache has dissipated.

Sittin'n.
ok, *hands on hips*
no one every told me I had to look for a man whose mother had a maid! hmmmph!

I didn't feel that great last night (I'd also added bleach to the Fuller brush cleanser!), but I'm back to normal *let's not define that* today! : ) thanks for your empathy/concern.

I do know that Peggy Lee song. I don't know "ZUD". You ladies are such domestic goddesses! hah.

Yankee.
lol...at the thought of me scrubbing with champagne. Now that you describe it, I do know what the scrubbing bubbles are. Just a foaming bathroom cleanser with a cute name. They don't work. I still have to use "elbow grease." ugh. I want something that makes all the yuckies disappear. Like they show on TV!

I also live alone. It's dangerous. I mean, I'm dangerous to myself. : )
