All Boys Miss the Toilet Except Mr. Clean

With four kids, my biggest chore, aside from constantly making meals, would be keeping things clean. But…

See these boys?
They look like really nice, normal boys, don’t they?
They’re not.
They’re totally disgusting.
They live like frat guys in training.
They belch, they fart, they smell bad.
And, for the love of all that is good and holy, they cannot hit the flippin’ toilet if you spotted them the 8” of clearance from “shooter” to bowl.
Their aim, in a nutshell, bites.
So guess what? The area in and around the toilet in their bathroom is nasty. I mean, urine overload, pee-fest, totally uber-icky. I make them clean their own filth from time to time but to get it up to mom standards, well, I gotta do that myself. Because I’m the only one truly capable of mom standards.
To get rid of the germs down there in Toilet Town, there are very few things I can think of that would
-50 gallon drum of straight bleach
-napalm
-nuclear attack
-alien invasion

So, BlogHer sent me these Mr. Clean Magic Erasers to try.
I guffawed to myself, “those folks at Mr. Clean have no idea who they’re dealing with, considering the boys have the ability to aim, they miss an impressive percentage of the time”

I scrubbed around the (choke back the gag reflex) bottom of the toilet around it and onto the floor. No small task but, what’s this???? Is there actually the ability to find the original flooring somewhere under this layer of pee-scented scratch-n-sniff??

Scientists are geniuses!

Then I scrubbed my white Corian kitchen sink. Which pretty much never looks like white. Excellent job squishy Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.

I scrubbed one square in the kitchen where we have ceramic tile that is supposed to look a lot whiter and cleaner than it does most of the time (I say this even having paid to have it cleaned professionally with, omg, humpback whale tears or something because that was expensive). Can you tell in the picture which square of tile I scrubbed with the Magic Eraser? No, well, the arrow should have helped you out. (Sorry, for you game show fanatics I spoiled your guess but not sure how it would show on camera)

I also scrubbed the oven, that’s takes a pretty good beating week after week. SHINY!

I scrubbed the stovetop.
The kitchen counters.
Another toilet (slightly less scary than the Lavatory of Death).

Do I like the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers? Yeah. For a few reasons.
I’ve already used ‘em before, I mean, I bought these suckers back in the day when they were a NEW product.
But now, dude, they get squishier and they smell like citrus. Hello, CITRUS! I fully admit I’m kind of a smelloholic where if things smell super clean, I automatically assume they ARE cleaner whether they are or not, because for me, smell is half the battle. And, as everyone knows, citrus equals clean. Seriously, Adam and Eve probably cleaned everything with citrus. It’s in Genesis somewhere.

And the final reason I like the Magic Eraser? There is no room for user error. It’s ONE thing you get wet and start scrubbing thereby providing you with the ability to be a little lazy. Or at least clean faster so you can keep hopping around the internet!

See how disgusting that Magic Eraser is? I’m just getting started.

***Believe it or not, I really love my boys and they do have a ton of really nice, admirable qualities, but I do fear they will never marry because they are kind of gross.
