Floor Scrubbing/Smooth Sailing

Not one to really get into floor scrubbing, being the world's most indifferent housekeeper (in my house, floor-scrubbing is on a par with remodeling), I finally succumbed to the really necessary task. The floor was sticky. I highly recommend the made for TV scrubbie especially since I could not find a proper rag mop or even a sponge. Actually there was a sponge mop in the closet, but so old it bio-degraded just as I put it into the Spic and Span solution.

I could do better...there are a few spots that could use a down and dirty massage with a Brillo pad, but I'm not a down-on-my-knees kind of girl, especially when it comes to housekeeping. I throw a few bowls of hot soapy water around the floor, and with the efficient TV-scrubbie/squeegie...eventually, everything comes clean...enough. Gou le. Ca suffit. A few final swish/swashes with the TV mop/squeegie and a half roll of paper towels to sop up all the muddy water...not perfect, but not too bad.

As Guan Yin advised me, smooth sailing!

I don't "do" the kitchen floor very often, but, when I feel compelled to clean it, I suppose I'm a "down-on-my-knees kind of" guy!! :-D

Oooohhh.."down on the knees" is kind of a kinky reference. Whatevah!

Aaaah, but the floor looks and feels better, right?!
Happy 2011!!!

(The spider you mentioned in the last post - oh holy hell, not sure I could deal with those things...)

Down to the knees and floor will be better cleaned. Better use Phenyl and good liquid antiseptic instead soap.

I clean my room once in a week in that way :-)
