Good article. When I moved into my condo and after it was painted and new carpet put in I paid a company to spend 6 hours cleaning it from top to bottom. I just couldn’t tackle that job. Once that’s done it’s much easier to keep it clean. My grandchildren live in a filthy smelly home with just their dad who makes them do cleaning but they aren’t very thorough. Plus 2 dogs who regularly poop and pee in the house because no one is there to let them out. And 3 cats. It’s disgusting . And they smell. This man makes in the 6 figures but won’t pay for a housekeeper. I stay out of it except to tell them to bring their laundry to me and take showers and wash their hair at my house anytime they want. My daughter is working on getting custody of her son for this reason. My granddaughter is 18 and moving out soon but she’s the one that tries to keep the place clean. Filth and messes bring chaos and disorder into a home.
Sorry. There’s my rant. This set me off!
