Heloise Moment

Our house has a small bathroom that steams up quickly with a hot shower.  Since there is no ceiling fan, and I don’t always remember to open the window, the steam often condenses onto the walls and ceiling.  Cleaning it is really annoying … but this week, I stumbled onto an idea that makes it tons easier.

How to effectively scrub the ceiling without balancing precariously on a chair or dragging a ladder upstairs?  Easy — just wrap two Lysol wipes around each side of a Swiffer sweeper, turn it upside down, and Swiffer the ceiling! 

It made me laugh, but it works for me!

Holy cow. You CLEAN your ceiling?!?!

You go, girl! :-)

Hey, I’m not laughing. I’m saying, “wow, you are brilliant!” The ceiling over my shower desperately needs cleaning–and I never thought of this. Thanks!

I don’t know that it would work on my peeling popcorn stuff above. But I am impressed!

i just don’t look up :)

great tip!

ok so i’ve just been avoiding it b/c of how awkward it is, thanx what a great tip.

Thanks for the tip! I have a similar problem in our bathroom and was trying to figure out how to tackle it. :)

Oh to have smooth ceilings! I am going to try it anyway!
