My secret weapon for housecleaning is this professional 48" wide dust mop with washable cotton head. We have all wood floors and I can sweep as effectively as a vacuum cleaner with this thing in 1/10 the time. Kitchen completely sweeped including under all the cabinets where crumbs hide in 10 seconds without even moving from the spot where I am standing. I just spin around and I am done. My mother in law was so mad when she saw me doing this and calculated how much time she wasted in her life with her traditional style broom.Nothing like a nice sativa high and breaking out the Oreck . . .
Bump . . . .
Professional janitorial supply stores rock, but nobody knows they can buy their home cleaning stuff there. It is all so much better than home cleaning stuff from junk in the grocery store aisle. A Swiffer toy sweeper with a box of disposable refills costs more than this beast that will still be around when I'm an old man.
Our consumption driven society is strange to me. Marketers spend zillions of dollars to try to make us have an opinion and preference for their brand of industrial chemicals that, other than fragrance and packaging, are essentially identical to every other brand of Industrial chemicals. I buy the cheapest detergent, acid, base, abrasive, etc I can and use less of it than you might believe works. I guess it is a side effect of being a chemist.
Here's a freebie for everyone tonight: my recipe for cleaning clothes with 1/4 the detergent you are currently using. There are four main things we could do as chemists to increase the rate of the chemical reaction that is laundry: Increase the concentration of detergent, increase the temperature, add a catalyst, or increase the amount of time you allow that reaction to take place. Notice that one of these options is FREE! Simply stop your washer before the rinse cycle and allow your clothes to soak for an extra fifteen minutes or hours if you want. With enough time, water itself and a tiny bit of detergent can work wonders. Oh, and don't use anything but cold water unless you are cleaning gross stuff that needs to be sterilized.
I'm a bit frugal with stuff like this because I just cannot afford to waste good money that could be better spent on important things like hash and LEGO sets. Did I happen to mention lately that I like hash? Because I do.
More black tar hash and candy sativa tonight. Wife went to bed early after two. Cocktails and a rich dinner, so I'm just going to make a recreational cannabis night of it for a change.
Edit: just an early morning update. Somehow, I have ended up with all three dogs comfortably sharing my little single futon on the floor with me. Two 40 pound mutts on my right and a 150 pound St. Bernard on my left.
I found the remnants of some shatter oil in the back of my drawer to go along with the new organic cotton balls I just bought. I'm generally not too keen on hydrocarbon processed concentrates for my own personal mmj use, at least philosophically, but I can't argue with their effectiveness in my E-Nano. This one was labeled "Rainbow Mix" and I cannot recall when or where I bought it, but it is from a respected concentrate maker who I know does a pro quality purge.
