Cleaning Day

These are the cleaning products I use most often

Bee's Wax for polishing the antique furniture

Dr. Bonner's Castile Soap for almost everything else that needs a wash

And if there are stubborn stains, 

Bon Ami

(a local company by the way -- if you count Kansas City as local)

Microfiber cloths and a chamois

The chamois is the best for dusting furniture

(I learned that secret from an English butler)

And for the floors,

there is always the Dyson in the closet

And the Shark steamer in the back hall.

I do tidy daily

with a quick "hoover - ing" and a wipe down of tabletops if need be.

The kitchen gets more attention,

the floors get a sweep and a wet mopping at least once a day

And the countertops get a good wipe after each meal.

I think it must be the German in me,

but I do love to clean!
