For one simple reason, I love that I live a hour and a half away from everyone.
I never have to worry about the pop-in.
Because of the distance, people never pop by for an unexpected visit so I don’t have to worry when my house is messy or down-right dirty, which it is immediately after cleaning.
I am not sure if it’s because we live in a windowed house by the lake, or if it is that we are truly dirty people but my house is not just untidy, but it’s disgusting.
You don’t look up because there are cobwebs coating the windows; you don’t look down because some genius put red carpets in a house that has very little walls so the flooring is not only faded but also worn and impossible to get clean; and you don’t look directly in front of you because no matter what you do, the walls are grimy.
Now that we don’t have a wood fireplace heating our upstairs, things certainly have improved. However, we have exceptionally hard water so even when you are cleaning, walls, counters, clothing, remains dirty.
My solution - perhaps a match - and certainly a challenge to house-cleaning companies: Can you make this house clean? If you can, I will shout from hilltops about your services - and certainly blog about it.

The Ultimate in Cleaning

It’s called The Ultimate Coth and it’s guaranteed five years of general use.
So I am not sure if I should be embarrassed about my bad housekeeping skills or proud that I have destroyed The Ultimate Cloth in five months.
I think I am a little bit of both.
I received The Ultimate Cloth for Christmas from my parents. This unimpressive looking white cloth claims an “exclusive MiraFiber technology” that cleans, chemical free, with just water. According to the package, it can clean windows and mirrors, blinds, walls, chrome, vinyl and leather, stainless steal, granite and marble as well as shower doors, soap scum and more. “Hundreds of uses”, it says.
It’s true.
I live in a house of windows and I have tried window cleaner and vinegar and water with newspaper. The Ultimate Cloth cleans better than both without cleaners - and streak free. I have cleaned my stainless steal microwave, walls and mirrors by running The Ultimate Cloth under water, wringing it out and cleaning away.
And within five months, my white Ultimate Cloth doesn’t come clean, even with bleach.
While it still leaves surfaces clean and streak free (except the bathroom mirror for some reason. While it comes clean after drying, the mirror’s surface looks funny when washed), The Ultimate Cloth has certainly taken a beating at my house.
