A short blog to advise DO NOT OVER CLEAN in isolation!
Saturday morning I went about my normal bathroom cleaning routine. However it appears throughout the cleaning, I may have suffered a mini stroke (that’s my excuse)!!!
Firstly I failed to read the instructions on a cleaning product. In hindsight I should have stuck to my green ways and cleaned with no chemicals. Instead I poured a WHOLE CONTAINER of drain cleaner onto the vanity drain. With a further extensions of my mini stroke I then added hot water, which of cause accelerated the chemical reaction.
At first I thought the drain is going to be SO CLEAN and there is not going to be a single strand of Grace’s or my very long hair remaining!!!
When the chemicals washed away, not only was there no strands of hair there was also no ceramic or metal drain remaining (see blog cover photo). That wasn’t the worst of it, the water was then pouring through the whole sink and all over the precious TOILET ROLLS!
Finn entered at this point his eyes sprung out of his head and back in again! “Holy moly mum what has happened to the sink and what is that poisonous smell!”. I replied, “I cleaned the sink and destroyed it!”. Finn’s next question, “Have you told dad?”. L then appeared as the noxious gas was spreading throughout the house and he did not look impressed. L quickly reminded me I had a science degree and what was I thinking?!
Don’t risk the urge to iso-clean, bake a cake instead!
