Where does the dirt lie in and around your home?

Yes, I tried my best to avoid dislodging anything else that might trapped higher up. lol.

I have just had a good look at the carpet underneath a radiator that I poke the nozzle of the hoover under occasionally. I can literally roll up the fluff that has collected there, in a strip.

Behind and in between a double radiator! A roll of fluff appeared on the floor underneath the radiator yesterday.
It was most satisfying to pick it up ?

Just one crisp, Kate1949? You're not trying!

Oh and a crisp under an armchair

We have some friends coming over next week whose house is immaculate. They spend their days cleaning, decorating and gardening.
I thought I'd better make an effort. The amount of cobwebs I've found in our living room is embarrassing Housework is not our thing.

Before anyone likes to have a go at Baggytrazzas.. For hosing a mat, just remember the Water companies sold off by the Tories , are leaking water by the gallon ! Just saying !

I think that Gordon Brown's comment about the power companies could be applied here. Any water company not mending broken pipes or putting effluent into rivers or the sea should be Nationalised. Then the government could monitor and control them and they might get on and get them mended.
Excellent point sylla12.

When water was nationalised, there was massive under-investment in often ancient and crumbling infrastructure.
I know many people don’t want to hear this, but it’s a fact, from sources that had no axe to grind, one way or the other.

This doesn’t mean that IMO the privatised water companies are perfect, very far from it. But it’s no use pretending that nationalisation invariably meant perfect efficiency. It didn’t.

Nationalised British Rail was another case of Far From Perfect, as many of us will remember.

As so often, governments of whatever colour Doing Things On The Cheap.

Moved last year and have 2 drawer divans quite shocked to see how much dust was above the drawers on the underside of the base had to give them a good hovering. (go on check yours)
The house we moved into looked fairly clean when we viewed but on moving in found the oven. gas hob, venetian blinds and carpets were not, took me ages to get them all clean.

I'm not admitting to any visible dirt in my house, but still thanking my lucky stars that when I move I won't have to discover what is behind or under my washing machine as the buyer has asked to keep it. {grin]

Most of us seem to be mucky in some respect then! How does it happen? Goodness knows what get found in dirty houses lol.

Was just about to post re a choc biscuit found by washing machine engineer, but the dead mouse definitely trumps it. ?

Yammy, LOL

Lixy, my Mum used to run her finger down my bannister then check for dust. There was ALWAYS dust. There IS, still , always dust!

My MIL used to stand on tiptoe and go along the doors and the lintels. She managed to lose something under the bed and inspected the steps.
Our lovely neighbour a chap who had been a Diplomat once saw me with the red cardinal he shouted"Kit inspection from the other side?"
We got her back, once when staying the bedroom mirror was thick with dust and DH wrote"Love you, mum".
There was never a kit inspection again.

Wasting water is bad not only because of the water itself but because of the energy used to purify drinking water from public reservoirs, and to maintain the reservoirs themselves, no matter if they be West Highland upland lochs, or dammed rivers in the English Midlands.

I predict a large growth industry in domestic plumbing and appliances that use grey water.

Under the fridge isn’t too good but you only see it when you get a new one. Little creatures and little crumbs must run under it in the night!

Shinamae ?

Baggytrazzas I totally agree with your comments. There are so many opinionated people on Gransnet. I like to read the threads but it does put me off as to what comments I would get if I ever posted.

This…

Oh forgoodness sake, dont you lot have anything nice to say about anything !
The lady posed a question, and got trolled !
I could not care about how clean or dirty my house is, there are far more important things to worry about.
Get a life !!!

It doesn't cost anything to be kind to each other. Shame on the nasty ladies who rip people to pieces.

I have to say I loathe and detest House work…

I think that under the washing machine and tumble dryer in the utility it will be quite dusty but nothing anywhere else I hope...We both do a lot of cleaning. Door mats in kitchen and utility are washable so they are done regularly..
