Hello kitchen full of ...I totally suck at cleaning. Hello kitchen full of dishes, I'm looking at you! If only the dishwasher would empty itself it would be so much easier! :-)<br /><br />Let's see... cleaning tips... Well, I did find that when I had a cat with a urinary problem who would pee on anything left out on the floor, I got much better about picking up after myself! Apparently I respond well to threats - especially when I know they're not idle ones!<br /><br />And I realize this totally goes against the whole frugal minimalist thing, but I discovered that vacuuming became much less horrible once I bought a cordless upright. I kept the heavy canister vacuum with all the attachments and super power stuff (you know, the one that's like wrestling an octopus), and I use it every few weeks to get into the corners and all that good stuff, but between times I whip out my handy dandy cordless model and give the house a quick once over. It's super light and there's nothing to trip over, plus it has the added advantage that the battery only lasts about 15 minutes so I'm not tempted to get all perfectionistic about it, which makes me dread it significantly less.<br /><br />On that note, I'm gonna go do the dishes before I go to bed!EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.com
