lets have a cleaning thread.

I'm not, either. I have a fondness for a few trinkets, jewellery and jewellery boxes. I love artwork, pictures and photos on the wall.

However, I don't hoard: and I won't. There are only so many items that my apartment can contain. With limited space, I can't afford to have loads and loads of stuff. I don't want a messy or cluttered apartment.

It is all about balance.

I have washed a quick load of laundry. I also am airing out my apartment. I shall hoover later this morning and keep on top of the washing up.

Its getting to be time to power wash our driveway. Thats something we don't really look forward to but if you do it on a hot sunny day you can "play" in the water. lol...

Jen, I never thought of that but I am sure it would be. At the same time I am sure it will make him a little nasty.

It is my cleaning day today: this means cleaning the bathroom and kitchen. Washing a load of laundry, dusting and hoovering... you name it, it needs to be done.

Just another Monday!

Actually most of the time they will scoot away whenever they see you coming. That is unless they have been fed by peoplw which is a big no no here in Florida. They lose their fear of humans when that happens. 

I may have a tidy of my hobby room today. My herb and spice orders are listed to be delivered today though so I will have to organise those too. That's one issue with buying seldom, but in bulk.

I've washed two loads of laundry today. I am also airing out my apartment and keep on top of the washing up. I took out the rubbish & recycling today, too.

I just get on with it.

I gave my bathroom and kitchen a clean today. I also went through old clutter the other day and threw it all out. I just binned it.

I don't want my apartment overflowing with "stuff".

Having green fingers is great! Enjoy your garden work, jen.

You're right about smells when I was working as a home help I remember going to one place and as they opened the door I was overwhelmed with the smell of ammonia it was as if they had about 20 cats living there they didn't have a single one but they had every window taped shop to stop draughts unfortunately it kept every smell in the house as well.

One of the biggest compliment I received is that people tell me that my house never smells of dog,and that if they didn't know I had two dogs they would never guess. Even the estate agent mentioned it when he sold my house he said it was one of the cleanest and most neutral smelling houses he had ever sold.

I can smell cigarette smoke from a mile off. Especially if the person is a chainsmoker. My mother smoked, so I am familar with how rooms smell after someone smoking.
