But the answer to my riddle is dirty floors!
I must admit that I like clean floors but I don't particularly like cleaning them! Getting down and dirty in order to clean those tiles can be back breaking at the best of times. But after having double knee replacements and a broken elbow, getting down on that floor is impossible. Plus, since I started my Keto Lifestyle (with Margaret's help) a couple of years ago, my Hubby decided that is was his turn to take over the cooking chores!
I'm not complaining because he is very careful and cooks for me with my Carbs ever on his mind. But after my wonderful husband has been in the kitchen chopping and peeling and generally making a mess, the floor looks less than fantastic!
Now I must admit, I'm a little bit of a nut when it comes to having the kitchen floor clean. There is nothing like getting down on the hands and knees and scrubbing all those little nooks and crannies! But since arthritis and recent the knee surgery, that is not happening anymore. I had to find someway to get my floors as clean as I like them.
Yes, I have a mop and bucket, many different types of cleaning apparatus with micro cleaning attachments and several different kinds of cleaning cloths. None of them were satisfactory for my personal tastes. Plus, I needed something that I could use quickly and have it really do the job!
Well, after much searching and lots of different products, I think I found the one I like the best. It's the Bissell Powerfresh DeLuxe 1806 Series!
It is compact, lightweight, easy to use and it really does make the floors look great. I was sceptical about how well it would work, because nothing up till now matches the cleanliness of getting down and scrubbing! But surprise, surprise, after giving the kitchen a good sweep (to get the big stuff up), I plugged in my new little friend and within 10 minutes the floor was steam cleaned and dry! Hubby walked by and took a quick look and then came back and looked again. His comment was that the floor looked like it did when we first moved in to the apartment. Now I have to agree with him. This is the cleanest I have gotten the floor since my knees were replaced last year. I am a happy camper!
If you are looking for something that will help you get your floors looking great, I would highly recommend this little but powerful Electric Steam Mop!
My only regret is that I did not find this appliance sooner. Shiny clean floors are something that makes me happy! This mop is one that I will use on a weekly (or more often depending on how the cook is doing) basis! It's easy to use and doesn't take forever to heat up. I had my floor cleaned in less than 10 minutes yet they looked like I'd been scrubbing for hours! Now that to me is a Big Win!
Now, Two replaced knees and the broken elbow equals nice clean floors for sure! And healing joints as time goes forward! The cook is no longer worried about the messes he makes either! All around this was a great investment! I have a happy cook and a happy housekeeper (me)!
