Fun Science Fact of the Day

If you take one of those plastic bath mats with the suction cups underneath and you leave it on your tub without moving for a long time (say 3+ years) it will bond to your tub. And when it gets old and brittle and you try to pull it off the tub, it will break apart into little pieces. And if, suppose, you have just sprayed the bath with Scrubbing Bubbles or Tilex or whatnot and your hands are nice and soft, the brittle old plastic bath mat will cut you like a prisoner you owe smokes to. Need to find some enamel friendly scraping device. I'm thinking one of those plastic wallpaper scrapers.

This has been one of a series of things not to do in your home. (I've got plenty more, no fear!)
