A Gift to Me

Dear FlyLady,

I had hesitated to shine my sink.  It wasn’t “that bad” and I was keeping the dishes done regularly since reading your emails.  That was good enough and I was truly proud of myself.

But then for Christmas I got the silver rags (present to myself!).

And then I read your email about using a butter knife on the mineral deposits and other gunk around the edges.

And I saw my sink with new eyes…there were calcium deposits all around the sink.  The rims around the drains were brown and crusty.  (My sink is porcelain.)

I have two young children who need and want my continuous attention.  :). I love them and give it to them as much as I possibly can!  I did not have time to “de-crustify” my sink all at once… but I have now been working one and two minutes at a time for the past couple of weeks and my sink is starting to make me smile!

The front part of the sink is crust free!  Most of both of the sides are clean!  The rims around the drains are porcelain colored again!  All around the base of the faucet it clean!!!  I just have the back to do and I need to ask my husband about the caulking there.

I started using my silver rag to dry the faucet after doing dishes.  It shines!  I scrubbed it with a little cleanser once and it really cleared off the calcium deposits that seemed to be permanent water spots.

Thank you for your reminders and permission to do little by little!  The butter knife works so well!!!
