CLEANING - CLEANING

Now that all of the hustle and bustle of the summer are coming to an end, it is time, maybe, to get the house cleaned. I live alone so it is not hard to keep the house clean, but when there is a house full of children as it was this summer, there is a certain amount of cleaning to be done when they leave. I also no longer have a dog who with her illness had a habit of throwing up on the carpet and this of course leaves stains.

The best investment I ever made was the purchase of a Bissell ProHeat 2x, 12 amp carpet cleaner with attachments to do furniture. Unlike having someone come into your home like Steam and Clean and other carpet cleaning companies, I have the option to take my time, go over and over the areas to extract the water thus getting out more dirt and speed drying time. Last week I did the spare bedroom, today I did my bedroom. I have the fan going and the window open to help the carpet dry. Both rooms look really, really good, like new carpet. Another thing to look at is not only is the carpet clean but look at the exercise I got. Tomorrow I will do the living room and dining room, then I can start washing cabinets. The kitchen and bathroom floors I did yesterday with my new Swifer Wet Jet cleaner. Aaaaahhhhh how wonderful the american way is to make things easier.

If this is the time of year you get around to doing the same thing all I can tell you is HAPPY CLEANING.
