You know, as I've read your posts in this thread the past few days
I can't help but wonder what your idea of housekeeping involves.
Do
you move furniture when you clean? Do you dust? Do you clean the
tub
daily? The commode? How often do you clean the windows? Vacuum
out the bathroom fan, ceiling fans and box fans? Do a walk
through
and clean any finger smudges on the walls? Wipe down the
refrigerator? Shake out throw rugs? Wipe down the bathroom sink
and counter and
mirror? Take a broom to the ceiling in case there are cobwebs
and/or dust? How often do you clean the microwave and range? How
long
ago was it that you cleaned your oven? How often do you wash your
towels, sheets, comforters, curtains, etc.?

In short, what is *your* idea of doing the housework?

If they clean properly that sounds good. :-) I doubt He Who Talks
Smack does that though. I suspect he just has a nasty house.

Take care,
Carmen

I'm sure He doesn't! It is much simpler when you're single, though, to
keep up a house. Throw in another person and kids, and it's almost
impossible to keep up a house. For me, since I never generate a mess to
begin with and clean up the ones I do generate, then it's much easier.

Boy, to remember back to those days is a trip in the Way Back Machine.
Over 17 years since I've lived by myself.
Even then there was the dusting, mopping, sweeping, 'fridge cleanout,
windows, keeping spots off the mirrors....
Maybe I clean too much. :-)

Take care,

You're hopeless.
I'll bet you clean like a demon before your Mom or Grandma come over
though. :-)
