Desperate Housewives of ILX

lol this thread is sorta terrible for me i have a strange love of talking abt cleaning/how clean my apt is/cleaning products...

i use pinesol for everything...grease on my hands...pinesol.

this is really inspiring me to get clean. tonight is going to be CRAZY laundry night. we have SO much to do. maybe after that's tackled, the rest of the place won't seem so intimidating?

I stand by the swiffer - you are not using it right! you are cursed!

The ammonia worked miracles yesterday, btw. I used to love 409 for degreasing but I think I've converted. Ammonia is cheaper and plentiful and the fumes, while still present, feel less...corrosive.

It might even replace Pinesol/Lestoil for me.

just dont mix it with certain things or you die.

it seems my floor never shines when cleaned, just look more dull but there are not dirty marks - mop and glo time?

I am waiting eagerly for this

Mop and Glo is great. Anyone try those new Kitchen Magic Erasers? Heavenly for stove top stains.

love those

yeah they are amazing. i also love the Kaboom products...who else uses the bleach tablets in their toilets?

I always thought mops are dud - you just moisten and move around the yuk - we need a fully rinsable floor

i just got a boner.

what about 2,000 flushes!

I am a fan of Kaboom's cleaning powers, but I think it gave me a rash on my face! That shit is so toxic and strong smelling.

magic erasers are a+++

yeah i had a kaboom cleaner that made my lungs really hurt

this one: http://www.kaboomkaboom.com/products-foam-tastic.shtml

YES. I thought it was punishment for hating to scrub slime off of the shower :-/

I LOVE the swifer wet jet!!

T I almost bought that bath mat last week but didn't and now I wish I had! :(

I like things clean but I'm the laziest housekeeper ever. I send the Roomba to clean the crap off the kitchen floors and then Swifer them.

does the roomba work?

fancy pants.

I love the damn thing.

lavender scented bleach is good.

The Roomba was cheaper than most regular vacuums and I haven't actually had to vacuum in like 2 years. It's pretty awesome!

how is it on carpets though?

whats funny is i pay for a cleaning service, yet i still clean...

Good! I mean Benson sheds tons (TONS - it's riculous how much pugs shed) and it gets almost all of it.

hmm i may have to invest in one.

i also question some peoples sanity...a couple i know have the filthiest house ever, i mean who invites people over and then leaves speckles of shit plastered on the toilet? seriously?

does the pug ever ride on it?

DJ Roomba erica?

I tried to get him to ride on it but he was scared. Mostly he ignores it or eyes it very suspiciously. Sometimes he barks at it. He goes nuts if I use the dust buster though which I do often just to play with him. It's ridiculously cute.

what do pugs do when they are scared?

When he's scared he just sort of backs away and looks very nervous/sad while it's going.

The best thing about the Roomba is that you put it on when you leave and when you come back - clean floors!

Like magic I tell you.

I want one but they cost too much - (backing up backing up backin up - cause my daddy taught me good)

Justine, you need a dog! Max ensures there's never ANY stuck on food on our floor! I am so reliant that recently he was not home and I dropped something & it did not occur to me to pick it up for hours. ;)

do dogs eat tissues?

YES

then who needs the roomba

omg this thread is bringing such much needed lolz to my terrible day!!!

lamp!!! a fucking DYSON!?!?!? never thought the day would come that i would express envy over such a thing

i think we have a lease inspection coming up in the next couple weeks, so i'm really gonna have to go all out :/

and also: rinse-able floors would be amazing - i would love to just get out a stiff-bristled broom, scrub that shit and hose it off. pretty sure h+k scrubbing the floor is what fucked my back a couple weeks ago.

"it never loses suction"

ryan is going out tonight, so i will have the house to myself. it's nice - i think i will have some whiskey and open all the windows, and record.

we haven't had an actual date in a while - i think we're going to do dinner on fri.

you're the cutest

no you :)

we are going on a date on thursday! i picked out the lounge at a local fancypants restaurant where we will relax with cocktails and small plates in air conditioning since ours is broken and it's supposed to be 98 that day. also i figured it would be nice to take the boy out for his birthday :)
