Whilst blitzing our shower room I turned to some industrial strength limescale remover - it's really lethal stuff and not for sale in your normal supermarket either. We live in a very chalky area here in Hampshire and limescale drives me crazy.
Seeing me waving the bottle of lethal chemical, Len warned me to be careful - but he'd never seen me in full cleaning garb when using that stuff. Later on, hearing the sound of a toothbrush frantically scrubbing in a particularly hidden part of porcelain ware, he stuck his head round the door to be greeted by yours truly attired as follows:
1. Elbow length rubber gloves - check
2. Huge protective apron - check
3. A protective pair of goggles - check
4. Toothbrush in hand - I buy cheap ones in packs of four from the supermarket as they're great for getting into tricky little places when house cleaning - check
As I turned round Len almost collapsed laughing and snorted 'Good God, The Graduate strikes again. Shall I go up into the loft for your flippers and snorkel?'
This is for Annie's 'Friday Smile' - go on, take a peek, it's all good fun!

This cracked me up, it did! I'm impressed at your cleaning energy. Care to send me some? Loved your photo. I use old brushes for that kind of thing as well. Got a tip to save the old brushheads from the electric toothbrush, put 'em in the handle part, and scrub away. It works & saves on elbow grease. (I'm allergic to work too!). TFS & Hugs
