Your Housework Style
-
What's ur housework style... (seeing that I am attempting to do some clean up now)... issit...
1. Scientific - You have a mental framework of the orbit of every single object belongs to and if they stray from their allocated space/time, you get into a frenzy. Dust belong to another universe. Keeping your earthly lab free from all contaminants is a responsibility you feel that mankind owes each other.
2. Technical - As long as it is technically clean, that is, the +/- 1.3% untidyness and dust is within the accepted range. The machine is working, functional, and really you can't expect it to be completely greasefree if you use it EVERYDAY right?
3. Administrative - You are a lot more tolerant towards dust than mess. The floor can be unswept, the carpet can be left to the cleaners - BUT the filing gotta be done!! The Onions MUST be placed in the basket, there is a place for shoe laces when they are being washed so please put them there. You label every single drawer.
4. Probationary - As long as nobody catches you lah, you only clean if the bosses/parents in law/friends come for a visit. Otherwise, aiyah... how dirty/untidy can it get.....
5. Ecological - It isn't dirty. It's just.. err.. ecologically friendly to a lot of ... living organisms that's all.
None of the above. Hmmm I'm an aspiring Administrative but currently far more Probationary and really occasionally sinking to Ecological standards...
As you can see.. I rather waste time coming out with these posts... that mop. -
i am more of number 3
admin
but of course every sunday is our hse cleaning day
my household housecleaning routines got four levels
everyday is wash and cook
every sunday is plus vacuuming and mopping and wiping
every now and then total spring cleaning
level 4 is me
the only bum who got holidays and will be spending time cleaning every section of the house
-
I wonder who's is "Ecological"
Mine is must be super clean but messiness is allowed. -
only when the discomfort of nagging becomes more than the comfort of ignoring the nagging did i do any cleaning
and if i do go for it, it's done very quickly and very well -
Rght Now my house is probably a beta for SIM ANT.

ima 4.

my room's been declared a bio-hazard .... at my first digs here, I woke up one day to find a mouse rooting around the pile of rubbish around my waste basket ....
(ps, that nest of mice got really friendly with me ... they live in a hole behind my fridge ... I took to feeding them trail mix .... there's a couple of pictures, I'll dig them up in a while ...

That is so kind of you. Most people would have killed them. -
It really depends on which room, how frequently you use it... and how GROSS it can get when it's dirty hahaha. How fast would that room reach your Gross Tolerance Threshold ?
Toilets definitely are at Technical cleaning level..
Kitchen & living room somewhere between tech & admin...
My spare "storage room" is safely in probationary... all my shopping is chucked in there hahaha. It's a messy wonderland. -
well ... I can't bare to kill those small furry mammals .... those aren't the type of scabby rats you see behind resturant kitchens, but small brown fieldmice that burrowed into my house in the winter .....Originally posted by av98m:

they like wheat and oatmeal ... ... but eventually my homies found out about it and kicked up a bit of a fuss .... so I trapped them in an empty pringles carton and transplanted them to the engineering faculty, those engineers are such slobs they'll find plenty of food there .... -

Well basically for me some things have to be done every week
Ironing and folding of clothes
Cleaning the floor
Cleaning the fish tanks
Washing dishes have to be done immediately though
and taking out the trash daily
other than that it's unless someone is visiting -
fatum, i suggest you read this book... He Died With A Felafel In His Hand by John Birmingham
i've been there too
i can identify with things written about in that book.. and because of that, i don't know if i should laugh or cry -

How come you didn't buy a hamster cage and keep them as pets -
my homies would've thrown a fit .......
they didn't quite take to the idea that I was feeding them trail mix and oats ....
oh well ... there were four of them ... I released two at the engineering student's lounge, one at the geology building where they had a sort of indoor eco garden, and the last one at one of the student residences ..... they should be fat and happy now .....
one of them was so used to me at the end that it was taking potato chips from my fingers .... -
