I use "Zep Shower, Tub & Tile Cleaner". I believe that I bought it at Home Depot (the stores in the little town that I live in don't carry Zep products). I have used other Zep products before, and was very pleased with them. I especially like the Mildew / Mold cleaner that they make.Missouri Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18057549777667213235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157754340221650294.post-50725630468275631632011-01-17T20:24:25.218-06:002011-01-17T20:24:25.218-06:00Lordy, that's cool!

You know, one of those tab deals at the end of modern phone cords where you plug it in rather than hardwire (like my phone line still is, I got a converter thingie long ago). I've seen other converted vintage phones selling on eBay. =)<br /><br />Great find, lucky you!!1950s Atomic Ranch Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02460669868967006928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157754340221650294.post-29684234310090241762011-01-17T08:18:51.575-06:002011-01-17T08:18:51.575-06:00that is AWESOME! great find!that is AWESOME! great find!Sale-ing in Denverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00378354283448114104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157754340221650294.post-20575050509375023662011-01-17T06:14:06.271-06:002011-01-17T06:14:06.271-06:00We had one of those when I was little!
