After being informed what Flylady was, I instantly wanted to do it. (my instantly turned into 3 years of wanting to do it). From what I've heard it's wonderful. It helps you get organized and keeps your house clean without stressing yourself out.

Tonight was my first step into Flyladydom!
The first step is to Shine your Sink, here are the steps to follow: http://flylady.net/pages/FLYingLessons_Shine.asp
I was a bit concerned at first because our kitchen sink is granite so I don't think it is made to really "shine" like stainless steel ones. But I tried it out anyway.. especially since my sink needed a good cleaning.
So here we go..
This is the before picture:
I put in scalding hot water and a cup of bleach like the directions call for. I admit that I cheated and did not leave it in for an hour like it says to.
I rinsed the sink out and the scrubbed it with Lysol kitchen cleaner using a scouring pad.
I rinsed the sink out again and used a window cleaner to "shine" it up. Eh, it looks cleaner for sure but I'm still getting kind of a gray look to it once it drys. I really need to find a solution to that. Is it possible to get granite to shine?
Here is my finished product (if you look real close you can see where I didn't clean with a toothbrush at the bottom of the faucet)
I didn't scrub the drains with a tooth brush either. I might actually go back and do that tonight. I'm certain with all my shortcuts I lose my flylady beginner badge. Oh well, there is always next time!
