It will go away steve if you get the polish and dusters out.
I like a clean and polished home so just get on with it.Some days, if busy or out enjoying myself I don’t do anything around the house, just catch up with things another day when at home, the beauty of being retired isn’t it?
Hoovering is done once a week ( it’s enough, no pets.)
Polishing ditto, bathrooms ditto and kitchen kept clean as I
go.All bedding changed weekly.That’s it really, as windows inside only done about every three months, done outside by window cleaner every six weeks.Laundry done when it needs doing, same with ironing.
To think that London, or anywhere else for that matter, does not belong to any one demographic
