My secret stash

You don't keep brand-name chemicals under your bed? Oh. 

The older sister is the clean freak. Unfortunately, she is also particularly sensitive about the products we are supposed to use to clean things. Apparently, chemicals not only smell too strong but somehow eat away at your insides and turn you into mutant lagoon creatures. 

Approved items for scrubbing counters and floors include:
  • Water
  • Vinegar
  • Dishsoap
  • Rags
  • Toothbrushes
Banned items:
  • Anything else
And by "anything else," I mean items that take you from a Merry Maid to an actual happy person, like paper towels and Swiffers. At the beginning of my tenure here at the Asylum, I was taught to clean the bathroom by filling a bucket with soap and water and washing the floor with a rag and my bare hands. 

Because everyone has time to do this. 

I did really want to be Cinderella when I was little. Now I just keep Lysol wipes and Pledge under my bed.
