Experiments

I kind of like experimenting, especially if it involves money in some way. When I was in Utah, James, my mom and I went to my house to clean it a bit. We were just wiping the counters, sweeping a little and cleaning the toilets. I couldn't get the toilets clean with Clorox toilet bowl cleaner. The hard water left the lovely little calcium (or whatever mineral) ring. So a few days later, I went to Wal Mart to buy something different and went back to clean the toilets. I got The Works* (my mom's suggestion)and Kaboom (I've used it before and kind of like watching it foam up, plus it's always worked at my house).

Anyway, The Works was $1.12 and Kaboom was $4.97. Guess what? Kaboom got nothing off and The Works didn't leave any traces. Even in the half bathroom, the worst one*, I got the toilet sparkling clean with just a few swipes of the brush after letting it sit for a minute or two. So, not only is it way cheaper, The Works works magnificently.

*Not "Works" by Clorox, "The Works".

**Dear Person that used the toilet when you were looking at the house. I get it, sometimes you've just gotta go. However, had you called and let someone know you used the toilet and couldn't flush it because the water was turned off, I would've really appreciated it and I know Don would've appreciated it even more, since he's the one that made the initial discovery and cleaned it mostly up. I know you tried to flush it, because you broke the toilet in the process. However, in the end, you decided to leave it for someone else to take care of. Last time I checked, that toilet is in a nice, new home and isn't an outhouse down by the river. So next time, please have the courtesy to let someone know that your traces of Mother Nature have been left behind.
