[BlindTlk] [BlTlk] House cleaning

[sonshines59]

Hello,

Other hints: Aim for crumb-free, scum-free, dust-free, and hair-free if you have pets. 

Another thing you and I can't see, once you clean glass, keep touch to a minimum. Sometimes I'll run my hand quickly and lightly over the glass surface to make sure all moisture from the cleaner has been absored by my cleaning towel, then go over the just-touched surface again quickly with a dry towel to hopefully remove any handprint I might have just left. Only takes a few semonds, and took longer to write about than to actually do hahaha.

To me, spotless means everything feels smooth, not poofy (like an unmade bed) and ready to use for next time. Kishia, I was deeply moved by your post. I hope my thoughts help you.

Actually, I borrowed it from someone else, but it is spot on.
Thank you.

What a beautifully said and concrete way to explain things. I had never really thought it's through that much. Because we see things backwards from the side of the world maybe that's why they don't get us. Can I steal your concept Judy? Just in case I need to explain something you know.

Now even when I do clean no matter how much I sweep or mop, when I ask a sighted person or they come and look they tell me there's always some thing I missed or that it doesn't look quite as clean. So sometimes I just don't even try anymore because it seems like no matter how hard I try it isn't good enough.
