Every Monday I commit several hours of my day to cleaning the house. It’s a task that I absolutely loathe and if I could afford it, I’d get a cleaner in a heartbeat!
During the arduous tasks of vacuuming, mopping, dusting and, my personal favourite, toilet scrubbing, a lot of thoughts run through my head. Mostly thoughts like,
“I wonder if Madonna ever has to mop the floor?” and
“WTF is with this vacuum cleaner? Why does it always insist on getting it’s hose thingy all twisted, forcing me to bend over and un-knot it every 5 minutes?!” and
“When will I win lotto?” and
“I could smash some sort of chocolate based treat right about now” and
“Where are all these bloody ants coming from?” and finally
“These porcelain tiles would have to be the Kim Kardashian of floor surfaces!” (high maintenance and something you have very little time for)
Yep, those tiles are an absolute nightmare to keep clean, however thanks to some very clever readers over on the blog’s Facebook page, I now have the perfect solution to keeping those pesky tiles shiny:
Fill 1/2 bucket of very hot water, a dash of metho and a splash of white vinegar. Mop with a Sabco mop that your husband bought from Bunnings (romantic), wait for the tiles to dry and then share your shiny tile success on Instagram! (totally normal)
Finally, once you’re done with the glamourous job of cleaning up everyone else’s mess, flop onto the couch (but for gods sake don’t take any chocolate with you!) and watch a bit of Martha. Instagram that as well and think about getting in touch with Pettifleur to see what’s shinier…the floor of her Bentley or the floor of your house?!
So tell me, do you have a cleaner? Are porcelain tiles really the Kim K of flooring surfaces? Could today’s blog post be anymore hard hitting?!
