One for all you house proud ladies or house claeners, please help.

Hi all,
I am on holidays at present & last week i did a heap of gardening & trimming to get the garden back into better shape, along with playing with my snakes.

This week i am house cleaning. Cleaning internal walls & scrub floors etc. The missus is at work earning money so i decided i would take on this little project.
Well what crap i have taken on, i can see many drinks hapenning before the day is out, let alone the week.

I have cleaned half the walls & cieling in the large loungeroom & have had enough allready. Wipeing with sugarsoap & then wipe again with clean water.
It is doing a great job & looks 100% without the dust & Gecko poop. I have not scrubbed the floor yet that is comming up soon.

What tips do you have for me apart from getting a cleaner in. I was originally going to paint inside but reckon cleaning is enough.
Useing buckets & chux for walls & scrub brush & mop for lino floor.

If it was outside i would just get the Gerni, a bloody lot easier. Any tips welcome, i have a lot of house to do yet. I might have to get a lot more beer.

Cheers
Ian

There's only one thing I hate more than moving house (the actual move, not the moving to a new place, because I like a new place, I just don't like moving my stuff)... And that's cleaning the house I am leaving....

So... I use a thing called money... I don't care if I don't have enough, I sell stuff.... I then hire a house cleaning company.... I then give them the key to my house and say... Go for it...

It ranges from around $200 - $450 (can't recall the exact amount) - but when I look at it, it saves me thousands in psychiatric treatments

 

[MR_IAN_DAVO]

Thanks,
the alchohol is working a treat & will definately have to get some more. The music thing is good, but i am a male & don't know how to work the stereo.

I think it will look a lot better the more i drink.

Cheers

ShamWOW??

Get a woolly washer and you can use sugar soap or half vinegar half water ratio.... woolly washers are from commercial chemical shops or maybe some hardware places now too. They are a long pole(not pole dancer pole)with a swivel head that you put a lambswool pad(one half scrubby(not snake)) they make the job very easy
alcohol and loud music of choice are a must too

 

[MR_IAN_DAVO]

Shamwow i don't think does it by itself LOL.
& thanks Crystal but i prefer a clean shaven washer LOL.

The music & alchohol are working, half the longe done. But drinks break is on now.

Cheers

As you can see the alchohol is working, i cannot even spell longe any more, maybe i should just longe into it.

I stuffed up a bit now, Broke a lamp, it did look expensive but i don't think she used it too much anyway. I even put a hole in the wall putting a pic back up, oops.

My only tip is take all your stuff outside, then you can use the gerni inside on the walls !

 

[Darlyn]

I was going to suggest you go and buy a squeegy sponge mop.
Easy to use , reaches high places but I don't think you should use your car at the moment.
Good Luck.

 

[shea_and_ruby]

use a gurny on the shower, works a treat. also, there are these little 'magic'squares you can buy which get marks off everything! you can get them from the supermarket or from bunnings

 

[MR_IAN_DAVO]

Well bugger me dead, that is one room done, It came up a treat except for the hole in wall, 1 cieling lamp brocken & a lamp shade in the bin.
The only blood came at the very last part when i knelt on a piece of glass from the brocken lamp.LOL.

& Paula has to put the ****e back exactly where she wants it, if it was up to me i know exactly where she could put it.LOL.

Anyways ti sah bin a good yad & now i nac have a beeers, i took mose pics too of damage & maybe mum can put up.
She had better give me one tonight especialy.

[Stompsy]

Omg. I'm reading this out loud to my partner and we are both laughing so hard. Who'd have thought cleaning the walls would be so hilarious!

Hole in the wall---------------------Broken Lamp --------------gooddlight shade -----------no light shade
---------------------------------------in bottom of bin


The hole can be fixed, lamp can be replaced from K-Mart, need new light shades anyway - Mrs not happy - but will see what tomorrow brings.....
at least I didnt break the Tv and stereo......hopefully the rest of the house will be safe.....

I think that this is really good advice.
