Ideas on how to keep your shower door Shiny and Bright - Learning cleaning techniques while travelling.

On a recent trip to Europe I stayed with a friend in her meticulously clean condominium.
Somehow the conversation came around to her glass shower door and how clean and new it looked.

She shared one of her cleaning tips and now I am going to share it with you as it really worked for us.

She doesn't use windex or glass cleaner rather the rinse aid for the dishwasher.

Growing up I always remember a landlady while I was in college saying that her idea of cleaning was talking her glasses off and that was how she survived and kept her calm. Now we all like a clean house but the water is hard and we are busy, so the shower door was not the #1 priority.

Arriving back home in the States I set off to the grocery store on a mission only to find that the dishwasher rinse aid is now sold in concentrated form. Never mind I want to have that brand new shower door and I am going to fill the product in to a sprayer and get the door looking shiny and bright. Maybe they have the regular bottles somewhere and if you know message us please.

I would definitely read the instructions and make sure the windows are open. Wear a mask etc. when spraying the solution, but it worked and the shower door looks like new again. No grimy calcium build up from the hard water we have here.

This is just an idea and maybe there are betters ones, but if you are listing your home for sale and want to spruce up that shower door, you might want to give it a shot.

If you want to know why I am posting about this in a real estate blog, well that is because the cleaner your home is the easier it is to sell:) I have seen some homes which needed a little bit of elbow grease and I want to get that message out.

As a listing agent I am always thinking outside the box and looking for ways to help my sellers and buyers.

HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION - Have you filed? Some useful links

Have you filed your homestead exemption? If not why not?

As a real estate agent I usually attend my buyers and seller closings. When I am working with buyers from out of state, new buyers etc. I always make a point of mentioning the Florida Homestead Exemption. This is a great advantage for Florida residents and something which not all states offer.

I am not going to go in to detail about the benefits as the article below from Wikipedia gives a much better insight.

If buyers are buying and selling I will also bring up the topic of portability, by knowing about these benefits many buyers and sellers will be able to save dollars. That's always good to have additional funds to spend on other things, especially for home buyers.

I did a little research and found out that some people didn't know about these benefits or simply hadn't gotten around to filing the homestead exemption paperwork. There is a timeframe for filing and receiving the exemption.

If you know someone who has recently purchased a home feel free to share this information with them. It's important and could potentially save you thousands over the years you are living in your home.
