Cleaning House

Our housekeeper just had twins, and some of the cleaning falls to me. I'm not a particularly good cleaner, but I don't mind it because you have to look at everything around the house in a different way, and I always enjoy that kind of thing.

For instance, we have a nice little glass-top coffee table in the living room. Never really paid much attention to it, as long as it kept the remote controls from crashing to the floor when I let go of them. Now I notice that it gets a ring on it every time someone puts a drink down on it. And we have no coasters! And the thing is, dare I say, a dust magnet. I'd also never noticed just how often the refrigerator gets crud on its handle, that the underside of our kitchen counter is icky, that our dog sheds constantly, and that in the shower, the water makes, well, water spots.

Okay, back to searching the Internet for the best kind of duster.
