Friday 5...Cleaning Tips

Ah, this is a feminist site. So this has been a long time coming. Hardly a day goes by when we don't receive an email asking when, when are we going to write about cleaning products. When are we going to post up tips for relief from housewife's knee? WHEN are we going to write about the joys of a neat and tidy home? Well, we got pretty close last week when every member of the team when asked about robots expressed a desire for aRoomba. Yes, it turns out our imagination stretches no further than a desire to be able to eat our tea off a sparkling floor. So here are the Squeamish team's best cleaning tips so you too can achieve our levels of domestic bliss...

1. My cleaning tip is to do less. Don't bother wiping shelves that are above eye level, cleaning the tops of cupboard doors, or hoovering under furniture. The only time you ever see the dirt and dust that has accumulated there is when you do a massive spring clean/move out of a rented property. Just don't bother and you'll get the stuff you can see done so much more quickly. Gareth

2. I don't know if the urban legend is true and accident teams in America clean up really tough blood stains off the freeway using Coca-Cola but I do know if you want your blackboard to be streak and chalk free and as black as night, a cloth soaked in the brown fizzy stuff will do the trick. Everyone has a blackboard right? Squeamish Nicola

3. I win at cleaning. Mostly because my life involves living in hotels, which means that housekeeping take care of the cleaning and all I have to remember is to take the fuck-off sign* off the door when I leave in the morning. On the rare occasions I do have to clean (the off-season), I am in love with wipes. They make it so easy!
* AKA do not disturb F1Kate

4. I have a confession to make. While I hate hoovering - after a short lived period of loving hoovering because at the age of 7 my mother tricked me into thinking it was fun - I quite like cleaning. Time was my parents would have said my sister was the clean and tidy one and I was the messy sister. However, after HOLY-CRAP-IT'S-BEEN-SHOVED-UNDER-HER-BED-ALL-ALONG-gate I grabbed the Clean Crown. Since becoming the cleaner sister I have become a sucker for any new cleaning product (I am duty-bound to tell you my sister is not dirty, she just doesn't get excited about new cleaning products). I love chemicals, does it fizz and leave a fresh scent and take the first layer of skin off my hands? MUST BE GOOD then. Squeamish Kate

5. Alas I can no longer shove everything under the bed now because we keep a spare mattress under it. A recent move meant I had to chuck out a load of stuff in boxes from under the bed and it was probably the best thing I've ever done with regards to cleaning. Otherwise my clutter-busting tip is...chuck an elegant throw over it. No-one will ever know... Squeamish Louise

No fair its been years since "holycrapitsbeenshovedunderthebedallalong-gate" and yet I still haven't managed to shake off the stigma. This is blighting my life, MY LIFE I tell you! I do have plenty of cleaning products, I just don't think that they are a scintillating talking point, its like BANG and the conversations is gone! So there, you can't Lord it over me!
