Long time no blog! I've been pretty busy between work and settling into my new place. Since I went to
Last night I pulled out all of my winter clothes from the storage closet, went through everything, set aside a whole bunch of things for goodwill and started the massive laundry that comes with the season switch-a-roo. Things were going great, except for the piles of clothes everywhere, when I walked into the kitchen and opened the pantry door.
Earlier that evening I had installed a over the door basket thingy from the Container Store to hold spices, etc., and had been so proud of my progress….when SMASH! An entire wire basket of items fell on the floor. And wouldn't you know it, it was the basket that had a brand new bottle of olive oil and jar of salsa? TRIPLE ECCCKKKHHH! Talk about nasty. And then to make matters worse, I haven't bought a mop yet. On a side note, I am not a nasty person, I wipe up spills immediately, and vacuum the floor a lot – no mopping needed, but I was getting close. So, I spent about an hour trying to wipe up the salsa/olive oil without breaking my neck (olive oil on the floor + me = falling disaster) and without cutting myself on the glass. There is now a greasy, nasty film all over the floor. Guess what I will be doing at lunchtime? Buying a mop!!!!
Anyone got a great secret method for breaking up oily residue on the floor?
So, I'll be doing that tonight, along with trying to figure out what I'll be working on at
Way too much fun!! Simple Green or something with orange in it should break up the grease pretty good. I've found most cleaners do a pretty good job of it but some say they are specifically for grease cutting.
