Any Tips for a Cleaning Fool?

I’ve been a cleaning fool this past weekend. Alan had a weekend without us in Bakersfield for a paintball tournament. So I thought I would surprise him with a nice clean house. I mopped all the floors. And when I finished the last room, the bathroom, I was so proud.

Me and Isabelle went down for a nap and when she woke up, the floor was nice and dry. I stood there and admired the cleanliness. I then went to pour out the dirty bucket and…MISSED. It all went onto the nice clean floor. Sooo stupid! I had to soak up all the water, mop it again, and wait for it to dry AGAIN!

So I’ve been on this cleaning kick. I even tried the whole vinegar in your shower track thing and I HATE the smell of vinegar. Never again! The smell lingered for the longest time and even when it was gone I imagined it there. I hate it so much that next time I will go with nice smelling chemically stuff.

And since I’m on this cleaning kick, today we went to buy some more cleaning supplies. I have a friend who swears by the Swiffer Vac, raved about it. So I called her today asking if she had anymore cleaning tips. Like a better way to mop so one does not pour mop water all over their clean floor. Does anyone else have cleaning tips for this cleaning fool?
