I have to admit, I really enjoy cleaning. I don't always want to start doing it and procrastinate just like everyone else, but once I begin, I get into it. I don't know - there's just something very satisfying about the whole cleaning process. Dusting or mopping the floor instantly makes things seem right with the world. I even like cleaning the bathrooms. In fact, that may be one of my favorite jobs. I get that it can be disgusting scrubbing a toilet or wiping down the shower, but the end result is so worth it! And there is a plethora of good cleaning products nowadays : Swiffer Sweepers, Clorox Wipes, those awesome dusters on expandable poles that help you get ceiling fans - it's a cleaning dream come true!
When I was a little girl, I once wrote on an "About Me" paper that when I grew up I wanted to be a cleaning lady, which is pretty hysterical, but I guess I can see the allure - you're making something look better, and improving your health at the same time! Think of all the bacteria you can kill in one swipe of a counter top!
(I also wrote on that assignment that I enjoy money, the color purple, boys and macaroni and cheese, so you can see not much has changed since I was in the first grade.)
If you like cleaning you will love my new "toy." Yesterday Janet and I bit the bullet and rather then rent... we went out and bought a Bissell Pro Heat Select with built in heater to scrub the carpets. When you consider that to rent one of these machines costs $80 it just made sense to buy. Can you guess what I will be doing today? I'll give you a hint... it will involve mixing cleaning solution, moving furniture, and scaring the s%$t out of the cats (who are the reason why this machine needed to be bought in the first place).
ReplyDeleteOooh, I want one! We have some carpet stains from the previous owners that are driving me crazy!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you and the cats!! Let me know how it turns out!
