The Vac is put away, and the broom is once again standing ready in the closet ( harder than it seems ) You know.. we have two vacuum cleaners an Oreck and a Kenmore. We have a Dirt Devil hand vacuum, a Dust Buster and a Broom Vac. Assorted brooms, mops, dusters, sprayers, a feather duster, a Swiffer, and the always trusty wisk broom and dust pan. Do any of these make the job easier?. Yes!! , Probably so, but I am still convinced house cleaning is for the weak of mind and was invented by some sadistic Taliban who hated apple pie and his mother.

Everything in the house should be painted gray with white specks so that dust doesn’t show. All floors should be gray/brown and carpet should all be Georgia red clay orange with splotches of black so stains don’t show .

Better yet the whole house should be tile…walls and all. With drains in the middle of the floor so that all you need to do is hose everything down and it’s clean.

Did I mention, I hate baseboards ?
