Battling My Dirt Demons (Your Domestic Advaice For The Day)

I'm going to be honest here. I am NOT clean by nature. I hate cleaning, really. Just to keep my house to the point where others would be doing a light once over takes a lot of work for me. I have gotten better over the years, but there were times when my house would have made a college student gag. But I have thwarted my dirt hording ways and I think I might be in the point in my life where I can maintain some domestic bliss, if not covered in cobwebs.This is why I feel it is important to add small nips of domestic lazy wisdom.

Here is today's...ready?

Get a shop Vacuum: Regular vacuums are great if you live by yourself and have no pets and your only bit of carpet is a 2x2 rug. For the rest of us, namely those with kids and dogs and husbands, all natural lovers of mud puddles and dirt, a more professional approach in needed.
Shop Vacs are multi useful. They can do windows, walls, pets, spiders and even sink drains, wet or dry.

I like to do a super vacuum about twice a month. This leads to large bits of dirt and dog hair that hang around for a while , but I love the "THWAMP" noise they make being sucked up the tube. I live for that noise.

So that is my advice , friends. And if , by chance, you happen to be like me in the unnaturally clean, it goes against my genetics, department. May the shop Vac be with us all.
