Thanks, Haven...as far as the grout, it''s not you, it''s the grout! We can fly to the moon but we can''t make grout that doesn''t absorb dirt/soap scum/whatever. So no matter how white your tiles are, the grout around them makes the bathroom seems less than sparkling clean.Date: 3/1/2009 10:03:11 PM

CJ--Subway tiles are just tiles but they''re shaped more like bricks. I''ll post a picture, though I''m not sure how clearly you can see the tiles.
I don''t know why, but I cannot keep the grout clean. It is so irritating.
Maisie, don''t they say that the kitchen sink can actually have more germs than the toilet?Date: 3/2/2009 6:29:04 AM

I hate cleaning the toilet! I am really scared of germs so I pay my daughter £5 each time she cleans it for me!
I didn''t know the plates were detachable! I used it just yesterday and sat there with like 20 paper towels until I got every last bit of grease off!Date: 3/1/2009 8:10:06 PM

1. The George Foreman grill (even though the plates are detachable). It''s just so hard to get into the little crevices.
2. The window blinds. They get so dusty, and we don''t have a special blind-cleaning brush so I improvise with either a dustcloth or feather duster, but nothing works very well. So frustrating!

Clothes! I HATE doing laundry. I''ll clean the bathroom, wash the floors, do the dishes, anything else, just NOT laundry.
I tried that. I finally caved when the ick factor got too high. Maybe I should trade him dinner for a bathroom cleaning.Date: 3/1/2009 8:46:17 PM

Oh - and for all you folks with grout - use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Works so well!!!
It''s annoying, because you have to do each grout line, but they really work! I just moved into an apartment with itsy bitsy tiles on the floors. And they needed help.Date: 3/2/2009 9:42:14 AM

I HATE cleaning:
- my 12 qt stock pot
- our windows
- our shower--we have white subway tiles in the bathroom and they are IMPOSSIBLE to keep perfectly clean
(Ha! I just noticed that I called the stockpot ''my'' stockpot--can you tell who uses the kitchen in our house?)
hahaahah you''re right! For a few seconds there I visualized all my grout perfectly clean and white...forgot about the work part hahaDate: 3/2/2009 10:01:47 AM
