At walmart, the only place to shop around here. You have to look for it. They don't package it in the carton anymore and it's usually on a bottom shelf.
I am currently in the middle of nag session, trying to get DH to agree to putting down parquet (sp?) floors. He won't agree to putting down laminate. Tile in all the rooms except the living room. There it's carpet. Any idea how hard it is to get german shedder fur out of carpet?

Pinesol sets me off - I cannot breathe around it. Terrible stuff.

IMO, pinesol is a useless product. It's for people that want their house to smell clean without the work of actually cleaning it.

I use my swiffer mop with a microfiber washcloth over it instead of creating more waste for the landfills! They're reusable and WAY better than sweeping. I usually sweep, followed by a quick run with the swiffer to get what the broom misses. Because I have a really old but very cool house with hardwood floors, spritzing the microfiber washcloth with a little orange-oil Pledge helps keep the place smelling nice, too.

When you have this many animals with dander, etc., just a swiffer alone isn't enough to keep up with the dirt/dust in the house, even if you do it daily (which I do not). It's more like something to finish off and get it "company clean".

After swiffering with the dry washcloth, I'll rinse it off, flip it over, use the other side for a quick damp-mop. Then it just goes in the wash with everything else. No junk for the landfills, and I get the ease of swiffering that I'm after. Double bonus. LOL.

That is why I like my steam mop. I spray some bleach water down or something that *smells clean* to please the hubby and then scrub away.

I've dug out the swiffer because I only have so many pads for my steam mop.

Once the pads for it are gone (the swiffer) I will probably get rid of it. It is pretty handy though.

We got a Rubbermaid mop thing that has its own bottle that you fill with whatever cleaner you prefer, and it has its own washable microfiber pads. Pads and bottles are available separately, also. Works great. Home Depot was the source.

YEP ~ and it is even harder when you have 1 GSD that thinks the vacuum is evil and he must attack it when it is in use!

My 2 have been outside for the past 5 hours playing in the mud ~ they are a mess (so is the yard)! They are going to need a bath before they come in the house.

I have no clue what that word means...... but Grits is weird that way.

Details on hubby's job? Will that enlighten or hinder my search for knowledge?
