The other night after watching an episode where they tested a dirty toothbrush cup, I immediately got up and cleaned ours.<br /><br />That show sounds interesting. There also is or was one on HGTV Canada called Consumed where they empty overstuffed houses and had people sort through all of their stuff. But it's never made it to the US.min hushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09460666548836420815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144616579963110201.post-31717881048046162772014-11-19T04:17:41.069-08:002014-11-19T04:17:41.069-08:00Ha!

The messy person gets a clean house and finds that they don't hate cleaning and tidying that much; the obsessive person realises they can clean less and all will be well. (Well, that's the idea!)<br />I always find that this show motivates me to clean the annoying niggly things that I usually ignore. My usual cleaning regime involves vacuuming the floor, but not moving furniture or vacuuming skirtings....I don't have a regular routine for doing them, I just do it when they look grubby and start to annoy me.<br /><br />I love any shows that involve decluttering and cleaning- I love the transformation.NicolaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542310810409358114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144616579963110201.post-85329496853299541632014-11-18T19:06:46.584-08:002014-11-18T19:06:46.584-08:00Wow, 3-4hours for vacuuming?

I'm not as thorough, but it takes me about 45 minutes to sweep my 740 sq ft main floor, plus the basement stairs and a room down there. Now my main floor isn't carpeted, but I still vacuum all of it, plus use the attachments for the baseboards, etc. I use an upright and don't move or vacuum under big furniture like the couch or regularly vacuum the window treatments. If it were me, I'd probably try a lighter routine more often and see how that works for ya.<br /><br />min hushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09460666548836420815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144616579963110201.post-84447883992130727032014-11-18T18:41:06.333-08:002014-11-18T18:41:06.333-08:00I could sure use some inspiration where cleaning i...I could sure use some inspiration where cleaning is concerned. The one I really hate is vacuuming. Actually, I should clarify... a quick once over with my cordless upright takes about 15 minutes and is completely painless. It's dragging out the behemoth canister vac with it's power and attachments, moving all of the furniture, tripping over the cord at least a dozen times, wrestling with the hoses, cursing (a lot) yadda, yadda, yadda - that's the part I really hate. Plus, it just takes FOREVER! Seriously, I can't imagine how people do this sort of thing every week... maybe they're just better than I am? <br /><br />At this point I try to pick one corner of the house to vacuum thoroughly (including dusting, moving furniture, cleaning baseboards, taking the cushions out and vacuuming in all the little crevices, doing the curtains, etc) and then I just do a quick once over vacuuming of the rest. My house is only 900 square feet and just doing that usually takes 3-4 hours. And that doesn't include kitchen, bathroom or anything else! I can't fathom how people do a thorough cleaning every week! They must be stronger than Hercules or something!<br /><br />Anyhow, if you have any tips for this vacuum-challenged human, I'd love to hear them!EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.com
