Thanks, COVID 19—I’m now a Super cleaner
Yep, we’re all stuck at home. We exercise. We cook. We read. We watch the latest on Netflix.
Also, I write. I am embroidering Christmas gifts (don’t judge. Needlework is my passion. Lol. It’s true. I always have projects going.). And I’ve taken up a new hobby--super cleaning.
What is super cleaning? Cleaning a room from top to bottom. From ceiling to floor. I dust all baseboards, all furniture including the legs and rails, all shutters, all mullions on the windows, every freakin’ figurine (I’ve decided no more of those), every picture. I dust mop the floor. I vacuum the rugs and curtains. I even wash some curtains. I scrubbed the bathrooms. EVERYTHING!
So I did the entire house (except for Handsome’s office and side of the sink because he won’t pick up, and I’m not doing it. If I can do everything else, he can do his part, but no. What is he doing? He’s labeling the tool bins in his garage. Even borrowed my label maker too. Granted the garage floor is pristine. But this speaks to something he WANTS to do).
And then I mopped. Not only mopped, but I also hand mopped with vinegar and those lovely blue towels (yes, you can gift me these for my birthday) from the big box stores. While mopping, I hit every corner and washed those newly dusted baseboards. And pondered my book edits, the new book I’m dabbling in, and decided if ONE blue towel can clean a whole room, it would probably make a great face mask.
I did a poll on Facebook about the best mop and ended up buying a Swiffer Wet-Jet. Oh my dahling, where have you been?
The whole house is done. It sparkles (except for Handsome’s office—one hot mess. And sink). I can sit back and admire. No dust. Great smell. However, for only a bit.
If I want the house this pristine all the time? Yah, I have to do it all over again.
UGH.

Good for you.
Each year I do some spring cleaning. I get ride of winters grime and even toss out old junk we've accumulated.
I usually super clean when we're having a big party. But this whole stay at home inspired me. lol. Inspired?
