Doing It Right

Here are some cleaning hints for those of you who fancy yourselves as tidy individuals. I see a lot of half-assed work in this area. The basic rules are simple. Whatever surface, vertical, horizontal or upside-down, you must start with a wet cloth and apply a circular pattern, keep going until all the dirt is gone, then buff over it with a dry, spongy towel - in straight lines. You may only use circular lines with the towel if you started with straight lines with the wet cloth. This way you offset the streaks. Streaks are half-assed. When cleaning your toilet, try using liquid laundry detergent. Tide smells good. You need to improve the smell so you can get your face in close for the inspection and the scrubbing. With certain stubborn hairs, sandpaper is quite useless and may scratch the porcelain. Go ahead and use the same cloth for the bowl-like bathroom sink. It's already coated in mucus and spit. Just don't use that rag on anything else ever again. Or even dispose of it if necessary. When you're done with doing your dishes, don't leave that leftover sludge in the drain or it will block the drain. Get in there with your fingers and pick it out and throw it in the garbage. And then run the hot water and splash it around the sides of the sink to clear away that greasy film. Don't do it half-assed. And then wipe the counter and the stove and put the dishes out of sight. Clean the floor to complete the antiseptic look of perhaps a hospital kitchen. Cleaning up this way is meant to last for a week or so, but you can stretch it for longer periods if you have other conflicting activities.
