When I was visiting Clay, he showed me a quick trick for cleaning grimy faucets. You will need is baking soda, vinegar, a plastic bag, and a rubber band.
Pour some baking soda and vinegar in the plastic bag until the mixture starts to bubble like a volcano. Then attach the bag to the sink using your rubber band. Wait awhile–we forgot about it for a few hours but I’m sure an hour would have sufficed.
Remove the bag and enjoy a cleaner faucet! It’s that easy and look at the difference!
Don’t you wish you had a friend like me to post photos of dirty places in your house? 
Thanks Clay!
Impulse buy of the week: microfiber dusting cloths. I never feel compelled to dust but when I was wandering around Home Depot (I swear they make all hardware stores convoluted to increase impulse purchases) I fell in love with the Method microfiber dusting cloths. I quickly realized that there were inexpensive options. The color of the budget cloths wasn’t nearly as pretty as these :
But I thought of Kasey and went with the neon budget cloths. I think she would be proud. Instead of one Method cloth for $5 I bought three for the same price. Now I’m noticing dust everywhere, but even things like the lamp shades on our shelf that I thought would never live to see a clean day are looking so much better! Look at all of the disgusting dirt and grime in this before picture:
Here is the much cleaner after. It’s not perfect but between the new filter and these great dusting cloths, I’m beginning to think that the air we are breathing is much cleaner.
Any recent impulse buys out there in the blogosphere? Given the chance would you buy it again or did you find yourself wishing that you could return it?
