I love the 20-minute approach. Seems like not a lot of time and something I could add into each day at my own house. I look forward to seeing your further progress and how it works out for you and your family!<br /><br /><a href="http://minutemanintl.blogspot.com/2016/08/the-benefits-of-automatic-floor-scrubber.html" rel="nofollow">Delbert Powers @ MinuteMan Intl.</a>Delbert Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03586588661659295623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-24655028318746837582016-02-16T10:45:49.254-07:002016-02-16T10:45:49.254-07:00Marian--thank you. I am really struggling with wha...Marian--thank you. I am really struggling with what is meant by "deep" cleaning and "surface" cleaning as well. I went back to the list to red through the comments to see if there was further information--and there wasn't really. But what that did was remind me that all homes are different--so our needs are different--and one list that works for one person may not work quite as well for another. Cleaning is personal--that is just the way it is--so my dissatisfaction with the list doesn't say anything about me and my abilities (or lack thereof) to clean my house. I am going to continue with the list as is--and see how it goes. Really--my problem is consistency--so no matter what I do, as long as I do something--it's all good.Alana in Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08440969357242099169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-76332755032616488502016-02-16T08:02:01.332-07:002016-02-16T08:02:01.332-07:00"I am already thinking of ways to tweak this ..."I am already thinking of ways to tweak this list to make it better for me--but a weird thing is happening in my brain as I do that. The list loses its authority, somehow. It loses its status. It becomes just another thing that I do--rather than THIS THING I'm doing. As a result, I feel less inclined to do it." --- FWIW, Alana, I have always questioned the logic of the order of operations of the AT cure (not that I have followed it myself). It doesn't make any sense to me to start cleaning by doing the floors. Dust and dirt fall --- gravity, after all --- so I was always taught to start high: ceiling fixtures first, the tops of door jambs, then surfaces, then floors, obviously with the depth and breadth of the cleaning determined by whether or not it was a thorough "spring cleaning" or merely a "weekly" cleaning. Please don't take this comment as a personal criticism --- I just think that if you are thinking deep down that the AT list of chores is random or discombobulated, perhaps that's because it simply is...
