If you\u2019ve spent any time on Pinterest<\/span><\/a> at all and you follow any boards with cleaning or diy tips, there\u2019s no doubt you\u2019ve seen people spruiking the wonders of using Dawn and vinegar to clean their shower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve seen enough pins of this idea to pique my interest and get me wondering how well it might work. But, when I first saw someone using this cleaning solution in a dish wand, I just knew I had to give it a go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First things first, I\u2019m in Australia. Most of the recipes for this type of bathroom cleaner call for Dawn washing up liquid. This might be a surprise to any Americans reading this, but we don\u2019t actually have Dawn dish liquid here in Australia! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not to worry, I did my research, and it turns out that we have the same product here in Australia but here it is branded as \u2018Fairy\u2019 dishwashing detergent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seemed to be important in most of the pins I found that you use the \u2018blue Dawn\u2019 so I bought blue Fairy washing up liquid, which seems to be \u2018antibacterial\u2019 which I figured would come in handy when it comes to cleaning bathrooms!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also bought a brand new dish wand – the type where you can fill them up with detergent. I think it only cost about $2-$3 at the supermarket, but you can get a fancier one here<\/span><\/a> if you prefer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I teamed my new dish wand and Fairy liquid with just some regular white vinegar I had in the pantry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not much of a one for measuring, but the ratio is 1:1 for this cleaning solution, so I basically squirted my Fairy dish liquid into the dispenser until it was about half full and then added vinegar on top to fill it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give it a bit of a shake to make sure the two liquids combine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it\u2019s just a simple matter of scrubbing this mixture all over any bathroom surface you want to clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then wiping it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now for the scary part – I\u2019m going to have to show you my dirty bathroom! It\u2019s the only way to show you how well this cleaner works. Here\u2019s some before and after shots of my bathroom and shower.<\/p>\n\n\n
