Arthritis & Shower Scrubbing Do Not Go Hand in Hand!
Keeping the shower clean is a chore for most people. However, trying to keep the shower clean when you have arthritis can be painful and extremely difficult. Whether you have arthritis in your hands, knees, back, ankles, etc., trying to maneuver yourself to scrub the shower area can be monumental. Let alone having to scrub the shower often to keep it clean. So how does someone with arthritis manage to keep the shower clean?
Unless you are lucky enough to have a maid or someone else to scrub for you, there is only one option I recommend. Try using an automatic shower cleaner, such as the Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner.
It works by spraying a cleaning solution in a 360 degree area. Just press the button on the unit once you are finished with your shower. You have 15 seconds to get out of the way. Then, the solution is sprayed up to 8 feet out.
This product is fantastic! I love it! It is easy to use and helps to keep your shower clean in between deep cleanings. If you are hesitant to purchase the product, don’t be. S.C. Johnson is offering a money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the product.
Try Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner. You don’t have anything to lose and your stiff arthritic joints will thank you!
Do You Fight With Your Toilet Paper Holder?
Changing the toilet paper roll is a relatively easy task and one that we perform often. However, if you have arthritis in your hands and your arthritis is in full swing, you know how hard it can be. The spring-loaded roller is absolutely unforgiving to arthritic hands.
So if you dream of not having to put up with this frustration anymore, your day has come. There are two options to choose from.
Option #1: The one-arm toilet paper holder
The one-arm toilet paper holder allows you to slide the toilet paper roll directly through on one side. There are no pieces to fumble with!
I love this type of toilet paper holder. However, the problem I initially see is that this type only attaches to the wall in one place. So if you currently have the standard toilet paper holder that attaches in two places, then you will have a hole in the wall after you change to the one-arm toilet paper holder. That can be easily fixed, but just wanted to point that out.
Option #2: The pivot toilet paper holder
The pivot toilet paper holder is another excellent choice. One side of the roller/rod, that holds the toilet paper, simply lifts up to remove or add your toilet paper roll. I personally went to Lowe’s today to try it out. It is very easy…even for arthritic hands!
The other great feature is that it attaches to the wall in two places just like the standard toilet paper holders. So, there is no additional work on your part after you install it.
There you have it. No more springs to fight with. You have two choices to check out. How great is that!
You can find these types of toilet paper holders at Amazon, Target, Home Depot, Lowes, etc. They are available in different finishes and styles to complement your bathroom decor.
One last note, the one-arm toilet paper holders seem to be in more abundance. So, if you’re looking for the pivot-type, you may just want to try Lowes. They seem to have more of a selection.
I will now be replacing all of my toilet paper holders!
