SUBJECT: Happy Saturday!
Hi guys!
It’s a cold and cloudy day here in Colorado. So my plans are to workout (when I can find the motivation) and do a little cleaning and work. I know, fun right? I will say I do enjoy cleaning and I’ve always enjoyed it even when I was a kid. It’s so weird but it’s relaxing to me. One time we were having family out to visit right after we moved to Colorado so we had a ton of things to do before they got here. I decided to hire a maid service (which I never do) because I just didn’t have the time to clean everything perfectly. I was kind of excited because who doesn’t want all the work done for them? That is the last time I ever do that! This was a professional company and before they came out to actually clean the owner came out to go through the house with me and take notes. At the time I had just bought a new gas range for the kitchen. It was honestly my dream range even though I don’t cook. haha. I told the cleaning company owner, “please be careful with the range and DO NOT use anything abrasive on it.” It was black and if it were to be scratched it would be sooo ugly. I really felt bad even bringing it up thinking it would be insulting to her. I mean, she runs a cleaning company. But for some reason I felt like I should at least mention it. Well a crew of 5 girls showed up to clean and it took them the entire day. They asked me to go through the house with them to make sure everything was perfect. I walk in the kitchen, quickly looking around and everything looked so nice then looked down at the range and almost screamed. It literally looked like someone had taken a piece of sandpaper and rubbed it in circular patterns all over my range. Okay, I’m telling you a super boring story but the moral of the story is just because it’s a cleaning company doesn’t mean they know what the hell they are doing. I’ll never hire anyone to touch my house again. And of course it took me months to get them to cover the cost of my range which they only partially did even after admitting one of them most of used the abrasive side of a cleaning sponge on it.
Okay, sorry. I don’t usually bore you that much. haha. So I clean not only because it’s kind of an escape but to make sure it’s done correctly.
Alright, I’m getting back to work. Have a great Saturday and don’t hire a maid service. Haha.
