Observations on your approach to cleaning the bathroom, Ms. Helen:

1. One does not need to keep the top of the tank clean - that's where the reading materials live.

2. I find the most effective way to deal with a dirty bathroom, or an otherwise dirty house, is to go camping. You don't worry about it when you're away, and everything seems so much cleaner (although less pristine) than the forest/desert/mountains/beach upon your return.
