[BlindTlk] House Cleaning

[Pamela Dominguez]

I asked, when I took skills of daily living at the center we could go to 
here, that you go to every day, why they don't teach you to fully clean a 
house, and they had no answer.  All they taught you was how to quickly run a 
vacuum over a rug.  Nothing about washing windows or floors or walls, etc. 
Anything I learned, I had to teach myself.  It's interesting how sometimes, 
sighted people don't see things you can feel.  My mother would tell me my 
kitchen floor was beautifully clean, and I would say I could still feel 
dirt.  The thing is, when the floor is wet, it feels like you got 
everything, but when it dries, it dries with stuff on it.  Pam.

Jen,
I'm living in my second apartment and I have a sighted person who cleans my
apartment twice a month.
I've heard of some independent living facilities that teaches blind
individuals how to mop etc. But I've never attended those classes.

Floor sweeping, cleaning windowsills and dusting. Is it even possible for a
blind person to keep an immaculate house, or is sighted assistance always
needed?

Hi there,
I think you're going to have to be more specific. There are certainly
techniques, but what are you wanting to clean or have look nice?
