How the heck did Cinderella do it?

[browneyes]

Tomorrow is my ds's bday and I've been spending a lot of today cleaning and getting things ready for his bday party. I bought the wrong mop head thing for my mop. I was pretty tired of running back and forth to the store, so I thought "heck, I'll just put on my rubber gloves and scrub the floors like Cinderella did" (but I think she used a brush ). I didn't get too far in the kitchen when my knees were like "what the heck?" I have muscles in my back I didn't know I had too. How did Cinderella scrub the floors on her hands and knees without killing her back and knees?

FYI, for some reason, every bday party for both of my kids, something wrong happens to my mop. I need to buy 2 of them, I think so I'll have a back up.

I don't think you need another mop, I think someone needs to introduce you to a place like Chuck E Cheese. Cheap? No.

No Cleanup? Priceless

I think for Cinderella, it was just lots of practice... plus she had the birdies and mice to help her.

I've boycotted Chuck E. Cheese. The last time I was there was for my SO's nieces bday party 4 years ago. You couldn't move in there it was so crowded, and both bathrooms weren't working. And, I had a panic attack too. My ds disappeared, I thought someone had stolen him. My SO's 15 yo niece took him to the other side of the place without letting me know. I swore then and there to never ever ever put myself through that again. My SO's niece learned NOT to take a child without his or her parent knowing about it though.

I wish I had Just Gus helping me.

Cinderella's arms must've been built like rocks too.

May I suggest the Clorox mop? Works great, and you won't have the wear and tear on your knees

Did your MIL give you your first Clorox mop, Jill?

{evil grin}

I've got the Swifter Mop and I like it, but I wanted to do some heavy duty mopping (atleast that's what I call it ). Does the Clorox Mop do just as well for heavy duty cleaning as for regular cleaning?

I have a Swifer and it is ok... However, my mom has the Swifer wet jet. That thing rocks!!! It works must better than the regular Swifer!!! I want to upgrade, but the DH says no...Maybe I should get him to use it.

Dianna, who was going to be my roommate, doesn't have a mop! She cleans her kitchen floor Cinderella style. I think she's nuts! Can you believe housemaids used to actually do that for hours at a time? Their bodies must have gotten all out of whack.

Thanks for reminding me of the reason not to go to Chuck E. Cheese, Shannon! I heard the same things many years ago. I see it hasn't changed. Love my Swiffer wet mop also. It's the greatest thing. Except I hate where the button is to spray! Every time I push the mop, I want to slide my hand down. Too many times I've sprayed when I didn't want to.

What's a mop?

Hmmmm isnt that what kids that get in trouble use? Nothing like getting the kitchen floor mopped by a guilty child.

I will be feeling your pain as soon as dd's wake up! I need to get our kitchen floor scrubbed big time. Unfortunately, it's well beyond the Swiffer wet jet stage! (imo) It has not been done since before I went to Branson two weeks ago, I am ashamed to say. The health dept would probably shut me down! However, it doesn't seem so bother anyone else around here. But that's another vent for another day!!

I have to admit to occasionally mopping my kitchen floor cinderella style. I can make sure it's really clean that way.
