How Clean is Your House?
This is the name of a show on the BBC America. Scott and I used to watch it every Mon. night, I think. It was gone for a while but I saw it just last night! I'm so excited!
In case you are unfamiliar, the show features two women (British of course) who go into peoples homes. These are homes that you and I would condemn for sure. I mean disgusting. The show I recently watched featured a toilet that was absolutely BLACK on the inside and it had rodent droppings in the burners of the stove! Yuck! Anyway, these ladies come into homes like these with their carefully placed products, and transform them into homes that are spic and span. All in 30 min! They are pretty funny and very clever. For instance, their rubber gloves have boas around the tops! Along the way, you get great tips on how to sanitize things around your house.
Take the How Clean is Your House Quiz here. I scored a gleaming, thank you very much! Although, to be honest, there were no questions about how many toys are on your floor or how many wet diapers have you left on the floor when you got distracted mid diaper change. Ugh, did I actually admit that? Ok, I do fold them up and get them trash ready, but they don't always make it to the trash as soon as they should, and the REALLY dirty ones go in a plastic bag and into the trash immediately!

This show used to be on Lifetime and I enjoyed it -- gagging thru some homes!!!
And I do the same thing about leaving diapers when I get distracted (or summoned). So lately, to keep myslef from doing that, I make sure to put the diaper in the way I have to walk to leave the room(and I've been known to throw diapers to accomplish this)! Weird, I know, but then I don't have stray diapers laying around! LOL!
Being an individual who can't sit down or relax for longer than 5 minutes, when not goofing around with my son, I am cleaning. Heck - I have even made cleaning into a game and my son is just as obsessed as I am! Sad ... I know. And the ironic thing - is I will go to others homes and not notice a thing. I could be in the messiest place and not even notice. For me - it isn't about my clean home, but rather something to keep me busy. I am sure that this will all change within the next couple of weeks with the addition of another baby in the house.
Apparently a cleaning lady working for our cleaning services supplier at work, was one of the candidates!! Hmm you wonder why she got fired huh...(already long before the show on tv).
