I just dip the brush into the hot vinegar water and use that.Also, if I have any caked on mess, like ketchup that somehow managed to splash up onto the faucet, I take a rag, dip it into the hot water and just let it hang out on the mess for a minute to completely take it away.. Once the water in the sink has cooled, I pull the plug!

This was just a little while after we moved in three years ago.It doesn’t look too too terrible in this picture, but that’s because I was trying to not make it look too too terrible.

The walls were marked up, and half-patched, and the floor was pulled up a bit so we could see the hardwood underneath., I wasn’t really ready to paint the walls yet, but I wanted to paint a little, so I did these boxes of color, which kind of gave the feeling of molding on the walls.
