War on Mildew

There are a few things that I am slowly learning living here. The first and foremost that I am going to tell you about is our mildew problem. Never before moving here had I heard about a dehumidifier. A what? Thats right my prairie home friends a DEhumidifier. Moving in we found one in our apartment. It wasn't until we'd been there for a month that we realized that perhaps we should have been using it the entire time.

Every time we boil water the windows fog up, after showering the entire bathroom is a sauna and it fogs up the windows in our other rooms for the entire day. I've slowly been watching the mildew grow in the bathroom cleaning it often. I thought I could handle it until I saw that around all the windows there was black mildew and white fuzzies growing along the sides and now its war. From my previous post when we moved from Fort Macleod you can see that I have a love for the extreme cleaning (and oven cleaner). I turned on the DEhumidifier and in one morning I emptied about 15 cups out of it. I got out a brand new toothbrush, gave it to Mardy and took his old one and went to work. Splashing cleaner here and there and on the ceiling in the bathroom and scrub a dub dub bright and shinny. I thought I would also add some pictures of our apartment on here so you can see that even though we live in mildew its a beautiful place. The pictures make it look smaller than it really is. So....Welcome to my home.
