Didn't like to ask. Wondered if it was similar to a sugar daddy but more useful.

Thank you Casdon. I can see how that works for the shower. Great tip.

I just took a picture to show you, the handle stores the concoction to clean with, you press the handle to release the liquid so it doesn’t all run out when you’re cleaning, and it washes and scrubs the limescale away.. I’m really impressed with it.

Please, what is a Dish Daddy? I'll buy one if it makes cleaning the showers easier.
I'm all for anything that reduces bending or kneeling.
I recently bought a Flash Speed Mop. It's great for the kitchen and bathroom floors. I'll still use the floor steamer periodically. My daughter bought a Speed Mop and is equally as pleased with hers.
I use the Flash Magnetic Telescopic Duster. My arthritic hands really appreciate the ease and convenience. No bending or climbing on step ladders either. I'm generally very 'green', but the mop and duster really do, seriously help me, so I have no guilt feelings about the disposable stuff.

What on Earth is a Dish Daddy?

Have you found a quicker, better or more satisfying way to do something that you want to share with those of us looking for the easy life?
I was sceptical about one I saw on YouTube, which involves filling a Dish Daddy with white vinegar, salt and a squirt of washing up liquid to clean the shower - it’s brilliant, scrubs both the glass, tiles and grout and takes seconds to do without having to bend over much at all.
I’ve also just discovered some cane clips that are like pegs, and it’s now taking me seconds to rein in my climbers, sweet peas etc instead of tying them in - brilliant little things.
You’re probably already doing both these things, so please share your discoveries so we can make our lives easier.
