Fortunately, my sister is renting an older home from the 1800s. The place is absolutely stunning with gorgeous crown molding, original hardwood floors, and beautiful bathroom tiles.
Moreover, I knew that if these scrubbing steps could produce results on her bathroom tiles, then they would surely work in other bathrooms too.
Additionally, while on my cleaning visit, my sister influenced me to start a Tik Tok account for the blog, so that I could start putting some of the posts into action. Of course, I was a little hesitant to get in front of the camera, but I went for it. It is always nice to get a little encouragement from your sis!
