Ode to Mark Golderman, Ty-D-Bol Man

Mark Golderman is one of my dearest friends and colleagues in the world and he is as obsessive compulsive about being neat and tidy as I am...hey, I actually can't THINK when the house is a cluttered mess.
Here is one of my favorite pieces of unsolicited advice that I stole from Mark. It is so brilliantly simple that it takes my breath away. First, let me tell you that it has nothing to do with marketing, PR or event planning, unless you are hosting an event in your own home, in which case, it has everything to do with event planning because if you are hosting at home, you'll want a sparkly-clean house and that includes your bathroom.
No one likes cleaning the bathroom. Tell me you do. I defy you to say so...Mark's solution to cleaning up 1-2-3 is this: Pour your Mister Clean or whatever lemon-scented magic into the toilet, use your mop, swish around, flush and voila! You have a clean bowl. Now, pour in some more lemony goodness to your sparkling clean bowl, dip in your mop and wash down the bathroom floors, flush and admire your handiwork...you just cleaned the toilet bowl and mopped the floor without dirtying a bucket or sloshing dirty water all over the place OR getting your hands all yucky.
This, my friends, is a win-win situation. Tomorrow, back to more dignified chat about boosting business, glamming up your image and throwing the most fabulous events. But tonight, it's all about the toilet bowl. See, I'm not just a big thinker; I'm also a very practical girl at heart!
