One of the easiest way to keep the shower door\/glass from building up mildew is to wipe off the water at the end of your shower. A 1-minutes maneuver would save you many minutes of scrubbing or applying the harmful chemical to clean it afterward. So I bought this squeegee with a suction cup<\/a> stuck to the shower wall to hold the squeegee. See below:
\n\"Squeegee<\/a>
\nIt worked really well for over a year. But lately, the suction cup started to lose its elasticity (kind of like most parts of human anatomy \ud83d\ude09 attributed to aging) and would not stay stuck on the wall any more, no matter how hard I try. Since it’s a custom suction cup (see below), I would need to buy another set as the suction cup cannot be bought separately.

\nAfter googling around, I came across this method to bring back the suction cup’s elasticity; I boiled the suction cup for about 10 minutes. Now it worked like a charm. I only wish fixing human elasticity would be that easy. One thing I did observe was the color became more milky (Did boiling change the chemical structure of the plastic somewhat?). I don’t know how long it would stay stuck on the wall. But time will tell. If the same problem occurs again, I would probably get a new one next time. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
