A Spring Cleaning Cheat Sheet…For Men.
* Broom (brum) – a long handled brush used for sweeping (also doubles as a mode of transportation for your mother)
* Vacuum (vak’ u em) – much like the leaf blower except it sucks in, instead of blowing out. Don’t let this alarm you. It isn’t broken and doesn’t need more torque, speed, RAM or whatever it is you did to the dishwasher.
* Dust pan (DUH) – Contrary to popular belief, this is where you sweep the dirt, not under the hallway area rug.
* Dust Cloth (dust kloth) – A cloth designated for removing tiny particles of dirt from every flat surface of the house. Hint: look for your old “lucky shirt”.
* Bucket (buk’ it) – Cylindric container used for holding soapy water when mopping the floor. Also known as your mid-evil knight helmet when you’re playing with our seven-year-old.
* Mop (mop) – A bundle of coarse yarn, rags or cloth fastened at the end of a stick. You’ll remember this as your dance partner at the New Year’s Eve party last year.
* Toilet Brush (toi’ lit brush) – Used for scrubbing the inside of the toilet bowl. I don’t care what this looks like, you may NOT use my shower luffa again!
* Oven Cleaner (uv’ en Klen’ er) – No, not the teenager. This is an actually product that you buy, spray in the oven and wipe out two hours later. You won’t need your welder’s mask for this task, but if it makes you feel more dangerous, go ahead.
* Sponge (spunj) – used to gently wash away food particles from dinnerware. It won’t be necessary to use your 300psi Power wash set. That was given to you in hopes of cleaning the EXTERIOR of the house (hint hint).
* Squeegee (skwe’ je) – Same principle as washing the car windshield, and yes, real men DO squeegee!

Please never “Power Wash” the outside of your house. and never let anyone else do it.
The power washer cuts up the wooden siding. It was made for brick and stone and metal cleaning. Never on wood siding.
It will also loosen the paint so it comes off after the next winter freezes.
OK on pressure treated wood decks.
If you want to wash your house, use chlorine bleach and maybe soap. and use a hand garden sprayer to spray it on the house and then the garden hose to wash it off.
you want the chlorine to kill the mold deep in the old paint.
keep the chlorine off the glass windows. it can leave a light film on the glass.
