As I was searching for cleaning tips and tricks on Pinterest, I came across one in which you clean your shower while you are taking a shower. I thought it was a fantastic idea. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out like it was supposed to. What I pinned didn't lead to the original source and I didn't try to find the original source until after I failed. Here is the caption and photo that I pinned:
"Keep one in the shower filled with a mixture of half vinager, half Dawn dishsoap. Use it to wipe down the shower while you are in there and your shower will always be clean"
The idea seems simple enough. I bought a cheap one of these and a suction cup so I could hang it up in the shower out of the reach of the kids.
After I hung up the sponge I was so excited to take a shower and see how well this would work. Here are the problems I faced later that evening and the next day:

After I hung up the sponge I was so excited to take a shower and see how well this would work. Here are the problems I faced later that evening and the next day:
- The soap and vinegar had leaked out by the time I got in the shower
- I still used it with what little was left on the sponge and I had no easy way to rinse the sides of the shower
- By the next morning the suction cup had fallen down
After this failure I found the original source here. I thought I should have boughten the Scotch Brite Dishwand as recommended until I read reviews that said this leaked as well. I still think this is a great idea, I just need to tweak the original instructions.
