You need just three things:

*  Instant Toilet disposable scrubbies that you can hide somewhere in the bathroom
*  The holder for the scrubbies
*  Paper Towels

YOUR WILL USE THE SAME SCRUBBIE FOR THE SINK AND THE TOILET.  YOU just do the sink first. 

BEFORE you clean the toilet, just let the hot water run for a minute and then fill up the sink with about 2 cups of water.  Moisten the scrubbie.  Now run it quickly over the sink and around the faucets and anywhere else around the sink that needs it.  Don’t use all cleanser on the sink…just a quick wipe and then lay the scrubbie in the toilet.  Finish your sink clean up with paper towels.  The only use really for the scrubbie is to get some disinfectant soap in there. 

Now use the same scrubbie for the bowl and GET YOURSELF A COUPLE OF CLEAN PAPER TOWELS BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO CLEAN THE BOWL. 

NOW … clean around the OUTSIDE of the toilet.  Last lift the lid and scrub just under the lid, all around the lid and finally the (gross) INSIDE of the bowl.  Wrap disposable sponge  in the paper towels and discard in waste basket. 

Moisten a paper towel and run it quickly over any parts of the floor that need it.

FINALLY rip off a clean paper towel and just lay it on top of the waste can, and push down gently.  It will cover the trash and yet give a tidy appearance. 

If your company is drop in … you can even do this quick clean-up immediately after your guests arrive.  Just excuse yourself and say you were on your way to the bathroom and ask your company to make themselves at home. 

This has saved me many times when I knew my guest bath was not company ready.

BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES BELOW – WOW ! It all came out..

FlyLady uses the Sidetracked Home Executive (SHE) system as a basis for organizing her home and her life. She adds humor, spunk, and a dose of common sense to her advice, but be prepared – FlyLady does not allow whining. You have to get off your “Franny”!

First, you join as a FlyBaby. You will receive your e-mail Welcome Letters from FlyLady instructing you on how to get started. You will also receive regular e-mail reminders from FlyLady about zones, decluttering, laundry, shoes (honestly – shoes are very important here!) and more. Don’t feel overwhelmed! FlyLady will keep you on track using small baby steps. And FlyBabies – no peeking at all of the routines, etc. shown on the FlyLady website. You are just getting started!

Now, as you progress, Flylady will send you e-mail to help you develop routines to get you going in the morning and to send you off to sleep in the evening. She’s tough here – routines are very important! It takes 21 days to form a habit, but for SHEs, it takes 28 days. FlyLady is going to insist you shine your sink too – you’ll soon find out why!

Decluttering is next. FlyLady will help you declutter your house using Hot Spot Fire Drills and the 27-Fling Boogie. If the thought of decluttering your home is overwhelming – don’t worry – Flylady has been there and knows what you are going through! In fact, FlyLady still has her own “dungeon” of clutter that she is working on!

It doesn’t matter whether you are a male or female, single or married, working in or out of the home, have kids or not, this can work for you. You can easily adapt FlyLady’s system to fit your own lifestyle. You will find that with time, your house and life will pull together.
