I Must Remember this Date
Today may be the last day that I scrub my floors on my hands and knees. I like clean floors, but I am really tired of crawling around on my hands and knees to get the job done. Last year I bought a Swiffer and it works OK for a touch up, but it's not so great for the weekly (weekly-- in a perfect world) deep cleaning.
So this morning I searched for reviews of floor sanitizers and I found that the Haan has a good rating. I had never even heard of this brand, but then I have never looked for this type of product. I decided to trust the reviews I found and I ordered the latest Haan model.
It should be here by next weekend.
According to the advertising, the Haan S175 kills 99.9% of germs with no chemicals. You just use tap water and the machine heats it to over 200 degrees and it cleans and sanitizes. I cannot wait to get it!
After cleaning my floors the old-fashioned way, I went outside to walk through the gardens. It's been a month since I walked this area. I was startled to see this leaning tree with the bark gone at the bottom.
I gave it a slight push (wearing my long winter coat that makes my arm look incredibly HUGE).
It fell to the ground!
Whoaa! I felt like Super woman! :) I guess it rotted away. Good riddance is all I can say.
Yesterday my sweet husband, knowing that I had a pretty bad week, came home with these pink roses for me.
Aren't they lovely? I like them in this Mason jar. They even smell nice. It's rare to find a rose with a fragrance these days.
I hope you all had a good weekend. I was happy to stay home and get caught up on my household chores. I hope you did something more interesting!
I used to actually watch those infomercials for the steam floor cleaners--I wanted one so bad.
ReplyDeleteI'm a hands/knees floor cleaner too--and my knees are shot. Keep us posted on the new cleaner and how you like it/or don't. I'd gladly invest in something like that if it does the job.
Nice job Super Woman! How nice of your husband to bring you roses.
ReplyDeleteI have had a lazy weekend. I needed it.
Let us know how the new floor cleaner works.
Zoey- Just wait until you get your Zahn! You are going to be amazed (and disgusted)-lol I pre-mopped my floor before using it for the first time and you would not BELIEVE how dirty those pads came up after I used the steamer AFTER mopping. I use mine all the time (different brand)and love it- It is faster than mopping believe it or not. Have a great day- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteNice to see a post from you. Very pretty roses for a hard working lady.
ReplyDeleteI use my feet instead of my knees and hands-after a sponge mop. I have laminate floors in my kitchen so I have to be careful how I clean them-I use water and white vinegar with a touch up of Liquid Gold.
It's good to have you back Zoey! I like staying home and doing household chores..call me a homebody:)
ReplyDeleteLove your roses!
Let us know how the floor cleaner works once you have it.
I too bought a floor scrubber, but I use it mainly on my dining room hard wood. The kitchen is lineloum and it gets way too dirty with the black lab coming in for meals.
ReplyDeleteWish I would have read the review about yours before I bought mine. I have to purchase distilled water for mine.
You go strong lady, pushing a tree over!
beautiful roses...such a sweet hubby...
