I'm not really one yet, but it sounds like a bunch of us are.

Start by sharing tips on getting a sink REALLY shiny! Wink

My husband shines our kitchen sink every Friday. He uses steel wool. (we have a stainless steel sink) I must admit, he does a great job. I don't think I'd be able to do it as well as he does!

It's a practical, accessible, and sometimes even fun (!!) way of regaining control over housekeeping. It's intended for those of us who are such perfectionists we never get things done Sad

. Flylady, like most systems, has lots of slang and lingo for the steps, which some people may dislike, but here it's less serious.

I like the idea, but haven't begun yet... and I don't know if I want to shine my sink! (the first step- so you have a spotless focal point to encourage you to continue)

I've been to the website in the past, and the sink shining was a bit too much for me.

I checked it out a year ago, a friend tipped me off. I use some of the ideas, but the system does not fit in to my schedule (I guess I have to make and STICK TO my own routines). so I 'shine my sink' [which means me loading the dishwasher at night] sometimes. LOL

but I agree -it's a good system, you might not need a cleaning lady when keeping up with it.

I cannot get my sink to shine-Flylady's advice made it worse! But I keep it clear of dishes and garbage, and it looks great!!

I think that sink-shining can just mean keeping your sink clean and clear. Don't let that discourage you, it can be wonderful. :-)

**sigh**

How about major adjustments for full-time working frum mothers of large families? I've tried, but I'm still a flyINFANT.

The sink thing REALLY isn't a big deal; you don't have to shine it, you can just keep it clear of dishes and garbage, and do a quick wash with a sponge. It helps set the tone of the kitchen, and the kitchen sets the tone of the house. I find it very helpful.

Lestoil and Steelwool works best for me. I do it after supper dishes and try to keep it dry till breakfast....makes the house look clean
