You can teach yourself. But good luck on the kids and guests.

Do you expect your guests to do the dishes, empty the cat litter pan,
etc.? They're guests! Unless you have a revolving door for the
guests, the odd shower here and there won't really make a
difference...unless _you_ are not taking showers everyday!

As far as the kids, it is the parents' job to teach them maintenance
such as brushing their teeth, flushing the toilet and cleaning what
they use. Shower squeegeeing falls into this last category. If you
start the kid early it becomes a habit and second nature.

I've gone from towel to squeegee and back to towel (tub/curtain)
without detecting any variation in what little might be left of what
I've come to refer to as my former youthful industriousness.

Some say I've always been lazy but arguing seems like too much effort
considering all the ancient evidence they can't seem to let go of.

I think a towel is easier and more effective getting the inside
corners, the unused soap dish and the shiny parts. I dry me first and
let what water will shed shed, then give it all a quick wipe.

I have clear. Generally they look like obscured. I did have a maid for a
while. Once she figured out they were clear she did do a good job of
keeping them clean. I have no idea how. I am content with them looking
obscured.

Hehe, that's what I'm afraid of. :)
