auntbijouJust to let y'all know... I officially hate my kitchen floor.
No, really.
I can't just mop the floor in my kitchen, and there's two reasons. One, because we have the second hardest water in the state, and this means that no matter what cleanser I use, there will be residue on the floor that will make dirt collect faster AND... the floor will feel sticky, even after you've mopped it. And two, because it's a type of flooring, you know, the cheap stuff that comes on a roll? that you're supposed to be able to just "wipe" clean, but what that really means is if your floor gets dirty enough that a simple wipe won't do it, then if you mop it, you screw with whatever gunk they treated it with to make it "wipe-able" and... it feels sticky even after you mop it.
So... what do I have to do?
I have to get two buckets and fill one with hot soapy water (with just a little vinegar to cut the "wipeable" gunk), and fill the other with cold, clear water, then, I get on my hands and knees and scrub my floor like Cinderella!!
And then I have to rinse (wipe) the soap off with the clear water.
Voila, clean floor that isn't sticky.
And sore knees.
I HATE MY KITCHEN FLOOR!!! And I can't wait to replace it.
AAAAAUUUGGGHHH!!!!
