Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 Dh and I were doing some painting and he remarked on the dust and dirt covering the skirting boards. " Don't you ever clean the skirting boards! " he yelled. After I picked myself off the floor from laughing so much I suddenly thought, hey, maybe I'm the only one who doesn't clean the skirting boards, perhaps I'm a terrible " housewife " . So, does anybody else clean their skirting boards....................? Lorraine Mum to: 10, Natasha 8, 5, ph nearly 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 I have someone to do my cleaning *blush* but in the days when I didn't, I became very obsessive about my skirting boards, also judged a paid cleaner by whether or not she cleaned them. I also have this kind of banistair which has curly ironwork going down the stairs..it's a devil to clean, but I once had a visitor who wiped her finger along the curly bits and it came off black...

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 Only before painting - the ones in the loo get cleaned if I've been staring at them!

My old flat mate used to have a thing about cleaning them though and used to run through the flat regularly bemoaning the state of the skirting and how I never cleaned it. I'd usually mumble something along the lines of 'can't be a***ed' through a mouthful of chocolate. Life is too short!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 PAH! Sorry, that was me spitting out my wine in shock! No. I categorically never clean the skirting boards. Nor the door frames. Nor the tops of the doors. Nor the picture frames. In fact, the only thing I dust on anything remotely approaching a regular basis is the TV screen - and that's only cos I want to watch a sharp-ish picture!! In fact, in the days when I still went out to work and therefore had a cleaning lady, I once didn't give an applicant the job on the basis that she ran her finger over all those places - and then pulled a face!! Far too scarey for me! Vicki Re: Skirting boards > Dh and I were doing some painting and he remarked on the dust and dirt > covering the skirting boards. " Don't you ever clean the skirting > boards!

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 Talking of them, DH has just finished cleaning mine in the lounge behind the sofa. My excuse is that we have so much furniture, I can't get to them. Probably whip the hover over them about twice a year and wipe them down when DS spills something down the back of the sofa, that starts me off, then I do the whole house, but very rarely!!! Who really has time anyway? and no-one looks, do they? Kirsten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
