Dear Husband.
Can we talk a moment? About cleaning the kitchen, perhaps. Now. I love that you are so willing to help out and clean up after my cooking disasters. But. There are a few key elements to cleaning a kitchen that I think we need to go over. So, I'll talk (Type) and you'll listen (read) mmmmk?
First. The Dishwasher is NOT a garbage disposal. Or Garburator. When you put a plate, pot, bowl or fork covered in tonight's dinner in there, it's NOT going to get clean. When I politely ask you, and then not so politely TELL you that you NEED to rinse the dishes before they go into the dishwasher, I'm not saying it to hear myself talk. I promise!
Second. That fancy long pole with bristles on the end of it in the pantry? It's a broom. Use it. Please.
Third. We have WHITE cabinets. We have SMALL children. One who almost ALWAYS has dirty fingers, so. Can you take a cursory glance around and spot wipe any smudges, fingerprints or all out smears. It's a lot easier to wipe them off right when it happens, than letting them go until I need to use a chisel to scrape them clean. Thanks!
Fourth. If there's something on the counter that doesn't belong there. ie: bills, floor cleaner, dirty sponges. Please don't clean around them. Part of cleaning the kitchen is, well, CLEANING. It doesn't make me overly excited when I get up in the morning and have to spend up to 3 hours re-cleaning the kitchen. It makes me a little ticked, in fact when there's something left on the counter, but cleaned around, for weeks at a time. I suppose you could say it drives me insane.
Anyway, that is all for now. Thank you for sitting there quietly while I made myself feel better. In case you forget, this will always be available to you to reference back to should you forget one of the issues I discussed.
Peace out homie. xo
