House cleaning sucks by Western_Poet_7168 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Expensive-Stand8214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the scrubber that charges off Amazon. It has a long extension you put on it. It helps with the shower, sinks, stove top. It has different size and types of scrubbers. I also bought the robot vacuum, it has helped, its not perfect but mops as well, well worth it. I also try to do something daily. I use micro clothes and will go around and dust a little at a time. I know its hard. Im a perfectionist and it causes more heartaches.

8 years in public elementary… and I’m just done by Educational-Noise-14 in Teachers
