My brainstorms scare people, but they sometimes work. Whilst removing
wallpaper and mildewy paste from bathroom, I was pondering how to scrub
the wall behind the toilet. A wallpaper seam was loose and the wall
back there got really dirty. Stripped off top layer of wallpaper,
sprayed the remaining paper with water, waited, scraped, scrubbed. Just
got to the towel rod and was wiping it down when the darn thing fell
off. I muttered at the lead anchors that don't hold in wallboard, then
got down and grabbed the towel rod. Voila! Wrap the rag around the
towel rod, hang onto each end, and run it up and down behind the toilet
tank. Works like a charm. Now I'm pondering how to paint back there ..
I think a piece of terry cloth from an old towel and a dowel would make
a suitable paint roller. Maybe. )
