The reason I deeply relate to the phrase, “Living in my head rent-free”. Other parts here.
Aim
“Hey, that was pretty good!”
I snorted. “Thanks. I’m a bit of an expert when it comes to cleaning a shower.”
Hardcase ignored the accompanying eye roll. “Seriously, you shot that spot from, like, twelve feet away!”
I looked around in bewilderment. "Hardcase, I'm pretty sure this bathroom is not twelve feet long."
"I still want to test it," he insisted. "Shoot that mildew spot."
"Which one?" I asked, grimacing at the need to specify between mildewed spots. In my own defense, the holidays had been crazy busy, and I had gone directly from school finals to extra shifts at work without a ton of time for cleaning.
"This one," Hardcase said, oblivious to my embarrassment. He pointed to the spot in question as he stood directly beside it.
"Okay, fine," I gave in. "But I need you to move first."
"Why? It's not like you can hit me with that stuff." He stuck his hand through the wall of the shower to make his point.
"Still, I would rather not test that when bad aim on my part could end up blinding you," I insisted. There was no way I was going to call Poison Control for an incorporeal trooper. My sanity wouldn’t survive it.
"C'mon, shoot it."
I sighed and shot a stream of cleaning solution at the spot he was pointing to. It connected exactly where I had aimed; less than surprising, considering that I was standing so close.
"Whoa, nice job!" Hardcase praised.
"Did any get on you?"
He studied the few pieces of armor he was still wearing, then the wall behind where he had been standing. "Nope, and there's a bit on the wall behind me, so I think we're good."
I relaxed a bit at that. There were no firm rules about what troopers could touch, so every experiment was an adventure.
Hardcase was looking cocky now. "Didn't I tell you? I keep saying that you guys should listen to me more often. You might learn something about how old Hardcase sees the world."
I lifted the bottle again and sent a stream of cleaner through the middle of his forehead. "Shut up."
"That shot was even better!" Hardcase crowed. A moment later, his face had turned considering. "You know, you would make a pretty good trooper."
From Hardcase, that was high praise indeed.
"Yeah, but then who would clean my shower?" I asked, motioning him off to the side so that I could start scrubbing at the mildewed wall.
"I'm serious!" Hardcase complained. "Have you ever fired a blaster before?"
“Well, we don’t exactly have blasters on this planet,” I hedged. “But I have shot a gun, which is the equivalent here.”
“Are you any good?”
I leveled a look at Hardcase. “I haven’t competed or anything, but I generally hit what I aim at.”
“I knew it! You would make a good trooper! I could see you being a commanding officer, even.” I shot him through the forehead again and he mock-glared at me. “A mean commanding officer. I wouldn’t want to serve under you.”
“Rude.”
“Okay, okay, I would.”
I rolled my eyes at Hardcase’s antics. “Then, as your pseudo-commanding officer, I order you to move out of my way so I can get this stupid shower clean!”

Grout, that often-overlooked material between your shower tiles, plays a significant role in maintaining the integrity beauty of your shower space. While cleaning your shower tiles is essential, there's another crucial step that often goes unnoticed – grout sealing.
Let's explore the domain of shower cleaning and sealing, discussing its importance, benefits, and the most efficient approaches to carry out this procedure.
Understanding Shower Grout Sealing:
Being porous in nature, grout possesses the ability to readily soak up moisture, dirt, and stains. This absorption over an extended period can result in staining, the growth of mold, and potentially even structural harm. Shower grout, in particular, contends with a continuous barrage of water, soap, shampoo, and assorted substances, rendering it particularly prone to encountering these challenges.
The Benefits of Shower Grout Sealing:
Prevents Water Infiltration: Sealing your shower grout forms a protective barrier that prevents water from seeping into the pores. This barrier is especially important in preventing moisture from penetrating the substrate behind the tiles, which can cause deterioration and costly repairs.
Reduces Mold and Mildew: Sealed grout is less likely to harbormold and mildew. Mold growth not only looks unsightly but also poses health risks. Sealing inhibits the growth of these harmful microorganisms, contributing to a healthier environment.
Enhances Appearance: Sealing your shower grout helps maintain its original color, preventing discoloration due to absorbed dirt and products. This, in turn, keeps your shower looking cleaner and fresher.
Simplifies Cleaning: Shower cleaning becomes easy when grout is sealed because it repels stains and liquids. Regular cleaning becomes more effective as dirt and grime remain on the surface rather than being absorbed.
When to Seal Your Shower Grout:
Shower grout should ideally be sealed shortly after installation and then periodically resealed, depending on factors like usage and the type of sealer used. Generally, it's recommended to reseal every one to three years to ensure continued protection.
DIY vs. Professional Sealing:
While there are DIY grout sealing kits available, hiring a professional can offer distinct advantages. Professionals have the expertise to select the right sealant for your specific grout type and apply it evenly. This ensures maximum protection and longevity.
Choosing professional grout sealing offers a range of advantages that can notably elevate the upkeep and durability of your tiled areas. Experienced technicians contribute their expertise, ensuring meticulous application of the sealant customized to the unique characteristics of your grout. The utilization of premium-grade products, not easily accessible to the general public, provides amplified defense against stains, moisture, and the effects of wear and tear.
