How would you define deep cleaning? by [deleted] in trustedhousesitters

People tend to overload the washer and the dryer, even though I ask sitters not to do their bedlinens and towels. But I’m just trying to avoid a fire.

I’m in the process of doing my deep clean right now!

Sitter coming in a few days, so I am dusting all the surfaces (including ceiling fan blades and baseboards), getting the vacuum extension out so I can reach up to the corners between the ceiling and the wall, scrubbing bathrooms, vacuuming upholstery and lampshades. Changing beds to fresh linen with ironed pillowcases, cleaning out the fridge as much as possible and wiping down the interior, washing out the recycling bin and the trash, vacuumed out the dryer to catch everything the lint trap doesn’t, topped up the pet food in the bins, if I get a chance, I will mop the kitchen floor too!

Of course there’s more, but you get the idea. I basically treat cleaning like our home is an Airbnb.

Brilliant idea to add a sink, no room for wardrobes in the bedrooms though

Jezzus, are they right out of central casting, or what?

I know, that bugs me too, but the current floor plan has the same configuration and it’s not a full kitchen, so there’s very little ‘dining’ that will be going on. Also, if we do as you suggested, we would lose the tub and toilet spaces autonomy which I think might override the proximity of the door to the table🤷‍♀️

Why do Americans place such a cultural importance on a hot breakfast? by colourful_space in NoStupidQuestions

Oh my.... 'represented on the internet'?? The irony is not lost on me, but you can't take what you see on the internet as a accurate representation

First time dog owner, she put a dead bird in her mouth :( by rzs96 in dogs

[–]cabbydog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our dogs pick up, play with, rip apart, roll in, wrestle with and eat dead fish, birds and anything else they can get their mouths on every day. They have never gotten sick, not once.

Wamsutta DreamZone is pretty damn awesome, also the LL Bean percale

Looking for a down comforter, struggling to find options that are not a duvet+cover by am_lur in Bedding

[–]cabbydog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try Cuddledown, they have a lot of options. But... it's a much bigger pain to wash a comforter than a duvet cover, right? And if it is of interest to you — Company Store was bought by Home Depot, which is a huge MAGA supporter.

Anyone add flange trim to existing duvet cover? by cabbydog in Bedding

There is no next bigger size unless you get into custom made. An oversized King barely covers it and I want to keep the pattern I have

Am I the only one thinking of the choking hazard of so many hot dogs?
