I finally took the courage to buy the Wagner steam cleaner I’ve been reading about since last year. I hesitated a lot because I wasn’t sure the 1500W power would be enough to clean the grout between the kitchen floor tiles. Now I’m happy I bought it, because it does a wonderful job. The grout comes out clean and disinfected. Well, I know it’s not the original color, and it probably won’t be again like new, but it looks much better than it used to when I cleaned it with a regular mop.

So, I’m happy and I can’t wait to host my Super Bowl party!

As I don’t have money to call those cleaning Merry Maids services, I’m looking for cheaper ways of getting my house cleaned for the New Year’s celebration. This is how I discovered that a good housewife needs only very few equipment to get things done in an excellent manner. With only a vacuum cleaner, some detergents, clothes and dusters, a house can become squeaky clean in less than one day. This includes also washing the windows and the doors. The easiest to clean are the kitchen and bathroom tiles, while the hardest to clean are, in my opinion, the carpets. There’s always so much dust deep inside their fibers, that it looks almost like being impossible to get it out of there. In such cases, portable steam cleaners may be the best solution. They use only water and the power of vapors to clean, so such devices are very good in case one of your family members is allergic to cleaning chemicals, or to those tiny acarians. Because the steam is extremely hot when it comes out the nozzle, it instantly kills and blows away micro-organisms and germs. In order to have more fun, my friends and I are doing a sort of a cleaning game: we gather together at each other’s place and do the cleaning together. In this way we can have fun, chat and laugh, tell jokes and have our homes clean and shiny for the year to come.

This is what I’d call private social cleaning.
