[blparent] house-cleaning question

[Peggy]

What I find works the best is to vacuum my floors with my vacuum's um ... 
well hard wood floor settings.  Then when that's done I go around the 
baseboards with the hose and get anything left along there that the vacuum 
wouldn't suck up.  Otherwise ... on your hands and knees with a little broom 
and then with the wash cloth and soapy water works the best!!  I bought one 
of the $150 floor cleaners and it works okay but you still have to get where 
it won't reach.  If you want to do a decent job with the mop, the swiffers 
work okay but not for caked on things.  It's kind of a hit or miss thing and 
I'm still trying different things as well ... I've even taken old socks and 
put them on my hands and took along a dustpan and swept with those, that 
doesn't work too bad either, crazy I know, but whatever works.

Hi, fellow parents.

Not really a parenting question, but having a house that's clean
improves family life, that's for sure. Just wondering if any of you,
especially if you're totally blind like myself, have found ways to
sweep and mop that you're happy with. I'd love to do a better job
cleaning my floors, especially dealing with dog hair. Brushing the dog
every day is something I'm doing now, which I enjoy. Beyond that, what
are some good tips? Unless I clean on my hands and knees, I really
don't think it all gets picked up. Thanks.

Jen
