Trish Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I fall between the two camps. I personally am fairly tidy and clean but I live with four males who most definatley aren't so I have to relax a bit or spend my entire life cleaning up after them. I'll add my praise for microfibre cloths too but I wasn't that impressed with the washer ball things. They do an okay job and if you don't have masses of smelly boy school shirts they may be okay but they really didn't do the job with grimy collars, what do boys do to them, and who decided that white shirts were smart for school wear. I favour some kind of grey patchwork with random colour splashes for art students Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now my true motives in home educating become clear I go for clean but untidy too. I periodically have a mad purge, tidy everything awat & clean everything, then within half an hour the next morning they've got it back to how it was, but at least I know its clean underneath.

It is the one I use most and it costs £18. I know it sounds expensive but it is worth every penny. You can see it when you come to see the chickens next week. If you go into the link I put and click on USA, you can see what they look like.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
