I like it Rough.

Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all.

Does anyone ever sync youtube through the sound system and blare random playlists whilst they clean the house?? I love doing this - some of the most random songs ever always make an appearance!

Today, I cleaned the walls (among other things). Probably the most tedious task ever, so I researched ways to make it easier/more exciting than simply scrubbing the walls with a sponge doused in sugar soap...

Want to know the easy way to clean walls? Read on! :)
  • First, dust the walls so you're not smearing the specs of dead skin and other gross stuff all over the place. Dry dust is one thing, but it's significantly more annoying once it gets wet!
  • Then, grab a magic eraser block thing. These are one of the best inventions since the mobile phone! Follow the eraser directions and scrub at the more stubborn marks such as texta, handprints, scuff marks, etc. 
  • Next up, you can go one of two ways. You can either fill a bucket with water and multipurpose cleaner and use a cloth to wipe down the walls, or you can buy a refill pack of those dettol floor cleaner things and use those to clean the walls! I went with the latter today because I wanted it to be as easy as possible! 
  • Once you've finished cleaning the walls, grab some dryer sheets (I was fortunate to have a friend send me a bunch of awesome smelling ones - shame I don't have a dryer!) and wipe the walls and skirting boards. (you know, that wood that runs along the bottom of the wall?) These, as I discovered during my research, help REPEL dust, meaning you wont have to clean as often! YAY! (I'll report back on whether or not this is actually true.)
  • Once you've completed your wall cleaning duties, grab your (clean) mop, a glass of wine, and crank some tunes to dance to whilst you admire your clean walls before unleashing your spawn to dirty them once more.
I am currently up to the last step. I bought myself a lovely bottle of red for mothers day and felt it necessary to 'test' the wine before sharing it with others tomorrow. ;)

Today's Playlist: (sample)
Three Days Grace - Pain
Hilary Duff - Chasing the Sun
David Guetta ft. Ne-Yo & Akon - Play Hard <--best cleaning song ever.

This was similar to my actions earlier, lol.
