"real mom" cleaning

topic posted Tue, August 8, 2006 - 8:31 AM by  Clare
Hi, I'm new to this site, and just wanted to share my frustration with something my daughter said recently....

The other day she asked me why I didn't cook and clean all the time like moms on TV. After recovering from the shock of this question, I explained that moms today don't have time to clean all the time, because we have too many other important things to do. This got to thinking about how I clean - I realized that as a working mom I only clean when it's going to be fast! Which is probably why I use Endust all the time. It's a good, quick clean that leaves me time to do the more important things in life. If you’re anything like me, then I’d recommend it, cause unlike what our children may think, we can't all be June Clevers.

    Girl I feel ya. I'm home most of the time and I still don't feel like I have time to clean. I have a closet full of cleaning supplies; so many I should probably clean it out and get rid of some. Someone else was telling me about Endust recently and how it cleans several surfaces. I love trying new products, so I believe I'll give Endust a try. I'll let you know what I think of it.

    Thanks.

    I use hydrogen peroxide to clean almost everything- no streak glass cleaner, great on bathroom ceramics & counters- vinager cuts soap scum a little better, but peroxide works too. Best of all, I know these are non-toxic. Still don't want the kids to get a hold of it, but the only byproduct is water.
    The real question is WHEN to use it. A day to myself now means I can work on cleaning the house. Convincing a babysitter that 3 hours is not that much time to clean when I have to count in dropping off and picking up kids is a job in itself! I wear my baby a lot, but how do you deal with a 1yo when scrubbing under the sink?

    I am a stay at home mom and I clean when my four year old is at school so I have my one year old and he will ride on his riding toys while I clean
