A Boy Mom’s Best Friend {HomeRight SteamMachine Plus Giveaway}

by Lindsay Ballard on March 25, 2015

Today, we are going to talk about something that all boy moms across the universe understand – little boy’s bathrooms.  Even after you are finished with the potty training years, boy’s bathrooms need a certain kind of attention.

You know that part of the toilet?  Yeah, I didn’t really even know it existed until I had a son.  Now, it’s one of the most cleaned parts of my bathroom.  Somehow, that’s where it all goes when boys “miss.”  Over the past few months, I’ve had three other boys at my house on a weekly basis, and I realized that it wasn’t just a Zack problem.  It’s gross, but there’s not much that we can do about it except clean it, right?

Just like I would in the shower, I squeeged the counter while applying the steam.

When I was finished, I dried the counter with a clean microfiber cloth.

Y’all, I seriously can’t even believe the difference. When I run my hand over this section of countertop, it feels as smooth as glass. My countertops have never felt that clean, even when I use chemicals and sponges.

So, score another one for the Steam Machine Plus! (Amazon affiliate link) I might have to take over the Sunday kitchen duties from my husband since it’s so easy now. He can deal with the bathrooms instead of me. 🙂
