Cleaning & Organization: Keeping the toilet plunger/toilet brush sanitized between uses.

I'm looking for a way to store my toilet plunger and toilet brush in a more sanitary manner. I was wondering if anyone has an idea or two for a liquid 'storage' solution (like the stuff ...»
they use in barbershops to keep the combs sanitized). My plunger is 100% hard rubber, so I need something that won't eat away at it. Right now, I just use a small bathroom trash can. It's great for keeping the floor dry, but the ick-factor is up there. I also have cats, so I'd prefer something that is pet-friendly (their litter box is in the bathroom). Thanks!

    that matter when cleaning porcelain. Once scratched it will always become difficult to clean and will dirty up much faster.

    SOS with a bit of elbow grease and a good sponge should remove any leftover marks on the toilet.

    Susan I find the easiest cleaner ...»
    to use is the scrubbing bubbles foam spray - requires minimum effort. Takes lime away from ceramic and for tough grout, spray and scrub grout with a toothbrush so you concentrate where the grout is. I have several friends that have used this on old showers after they moved in and they report that it worked ver well. After you get it clean, then spraying with the bubbles once a week should keep it under control.

Cleaning & Organization: Mold and Mildew in the Shower

I know this is a common problem but I cannot keep mold and or mildew out of my shower. I have a tub and a single unit wall surround that requires caulking between the two. I have caulked, ...»
removed caulk and re-caulked so many times all for not. Now I have a ceiling fan and two doors leading from my small bathroom and I always leave one door open (ceiling fan needs to be replaced as of recently) when taking a shower but I still have mold. Is there anything else out there that I can use? I'd used the caulk made for bathrooms/showers. Thanks

    learned from the mistake. We were told to just run the fan for a half hour after showers. But since we replaced it we check it and also use a squeegee and the fan and try to wipe dry where we can.
