To say I don't like cleaning is an understatement. I don't like having wisdom teeth pulled at the dentist, realigning a broken nose with a snap, or running out of gas on the way to work. No, to say I don't like clean is a REAL understatement. I despise cleaning. The real reason I clean my kitchen before I go to bed is that waking up to the knowledge that I have to cleant the kitchen before I start my day, can keep me in bed for hours. I am amazed out how many things I can do from my bed if I have my Ipad by my side. Every weekend I am burdened with the fact that I have to clean the whole house and I have to do it by myself. Now before you decide to start commenting on how my family should help out. They do. My daughter cleans her bathroom, the kitchen and kitty litter. My husband takes out the trash and works way too many hours. So I believe I should do the Saturday cleaning.
Pin It
Well a few weeks ago, I bought my first heavy duty vacuum. I usually buy cheap ones...less than $70.00, and the most recent one finally died. So I forked over the money for a Dyson D39 Animal. (Never stay too long on a shopping channel network....they make you believe you need ski boots for the beach. ) So I lingered too long on this station and before I knew it, I downloaded their app for my Iphone and bought this machine. This thing of beauty.
Isn't she beautiful? She is amazing! I use to love scrapbooking as my number one hobby. Now...I love pulling this baby behind me and sucking things up. I have even vacuumed my ceilings. Yes, you read that right, I vacuumed my ceilings. And it was easy with the extending arm.
I have become this person that still hates cleaning but loves to vacuum. So today I did my blinds. Don't judge me. We all have this one area of our lives that we neglect. In my case, it is my blinds. I need new ones. These came with the house...remember those commercials for Lennar homes? "Everything included. E..I ...E...I OHHHH!" Well minecame with crappy blinds. I could have upgraded but I said I would do it later. Well now it is seven years later and I still haven't upgraded.
So today I looked at them and was soo excited! They are filthy and I have a reason to keep my Dyson out just a little past her curfew. Well here they are! In their disgusting neglected state: (Remeber: Don't Judge!)
Aren't they disgusting? That is seven years of filth. I admit it, they are mine and have not cleaned them. Hello, my name is Rozette and I neglect my blinds. Well, I looked at my Dyson and said, "You can do it!" So I took off one of her on board tools and we tackled it. And when were done....they looked like this:
Aren't they amazing? I took this picture close up. These blinds deserve a close up. I used the onboard attachment to do this. As you can see, these are, shall we say delicate blinds? No...call them what they are....cheap....but they look great after D got a hold of them. Because they are so cheap....uh, I mean delicate, I was scared that my D would be too hard on them. Sometimes she doesn't know her strength. Which is okay because she has the button on her handle to release her tight grip on things. It's like the people at Dyson knew me...they got it. They knew one day a person like me was going to try to suck everything up and they would need a way to release her powerful grip from something that was not made to be manhandled by the likes of D. So, this gross, tedious job became a wonderful dance of swipe across the blinds and release, swipe across again and release....Gangnam style! Kidding...no high fashion people from the Gangnam district were hurt cleaning these blinds.
