getting the funk out of funky


Do you ever get to the point when your own funky home grosses you out? Okay I am one of those strange people who wants a super organized home but I don't mind dirt-it's just too unavoidable. But there is a point you get to that you can just no longer touch many parts of your home cuz it's just so gross you think...

"should I just go ahead and clean today?-or would it be best to just condemn this house burn it to the ground and start over with a new one?"

You want to know what is really sad? I clean for a living! Well actually I am a house/homeschool/nurse/butt wiper wife and mom for a living, I just earn a few extra bucks cleaning homes and offices. Which pays well mind you.

And it's not that I mind cleaning my home compared to theirs it's just that mine takes longer!

-days longer...

Want to know why?

I have to organize, homeschool, yell at the kids, and wipe butts, as I go. When I clean other homes...I just clean. I have tried pawning the kids off on to other family members so I can clean but instead I do other things like blog, or read, or nap.

I would love to say I deep clean my home well twice a month but lately some rooms have not been cleaned 'well' in months!

So all this funky funk cleaning got me to wondering how often do you deep clean your home? Ya know where you get the funk out of the funky spots like behind your toilet...or even maybe the toilet it's self? Do tell, this cleaning lady is dieing to know!

Now I am off to clean the funky-ness outa here!

I refuse to say on the grounds that it may incriminate me. I want to maintain some sort of online dignity!

Feeling your pain!

In the words of a famous movie from the years gone by (paraphrasing now)"Cleaning....We No Need No Stinking Cleaning! "

Feb. 27, 2009 - I really feel for you...

I can't tell you how many times in the last 2 months I've walked into my bedroom and said, "what's that smell?" Of course, we've had no kitchen for the past 7 weeks (thanks to extremely slow granite guys), so we've been washing our dishes in the bathroom sink. Now that in itself is gross to wash dishes in the same sink someone just washed their hands after...well, you know...but I digress. I really know what you mean about wondering if it would be easier to clean, or hope it burns to the ground...(just the dirt & mess..not the actual house)...and start over. If it were only that easy... :-) I feel for you...REALLY feel for you... :-)

What's funny is when you don't mind cleaning someone else's house (like helping out a friend), but you can't seem to bring yourself to do your own - that's me! I love to help other people clean and organize, but I'm lazy about my own projects.
