I came from an old-school cleaning mom. Every Saturday before we could watch cartoons,
We had to vacuum too. Since my sister and I shared a bedroom, one dusted and the other vacuumed. Then we moved to other rooms in the house, hoping we could finish by the time Bugs Bunny came on.
In my adult life, I continued to clean in Mom's manner, just like most of you may have. In this day and age, consumers have many choices when it comes to cleaning. Technology has infiltrated the modern home. During SIP, I no longer want to wring mops. I no longer want to dust with furniture polish. I became a convert to Swiffer.I have been using Swiffer dust and floor cloths for a while. I like the way they work. I dust from the top of a room down, being sure to hit all outlets, switches, furniture, and pictures.
But I hadn't used a wet-jet. I bought one, and oh boy, what planet have I been on. With a press of a button, cleaner sprays on the floor. I coast over the wet area with a Swiffer mop cloth. No touching anything icky. No toting buckets of water.
If this new cleaning method I've embraced is bad, please don't tell me.

Fun post, Vicki. I confess to not being much of a cleaner. I've still got my housekeeper coming in every two weeks, and I pay her a bit more because many of her clients aren't having her. We leave the house when she comes in. In between times, I clean, way more than before with wiping down all the pulls, knobs, and light switches. It's awfully easy for me to fall into a hypervigilant mode with this kind of thing. I can become obsessive. I do "plan" to do major clean out and throw out after I've sent my next book to the Beta Readers. I'll take a break from TAINTED. After the book is sent to editor, I plan to tackle the mess of files on my computer! Do not look forward to that task, but I know it will make my searches faster in the future. I've shared. :)
Hi, Marsha and thanks for commenting today. We opted for no housekeeper, but your idea of leaving the house sounds like a good plan and wish I had thought of it. I am probably obsessive about dusting. I want it easy!
Vicki, Saturdays were our cleaning day. We kids all drew for which rooms we were in charge of, and our mother, a registered nurse, came in like she was disinfecting on medical floor ;)
Our mothers would have been great friends! Hope the moths have disappeared. Another friend called today complaining! xo
Hi, Donnell! Yup, Saturday. No sleeping late. Not cartoons until cleaned. She was tough. I remember the next door neighbor saying something about how my mom did it all. She did.
The moths died down after a cold snap blew in. I'm guessing they might return when warmer. Just icky to find so many in the house. I know Handsome was tired of me yelling "close the door." ox
