If you need to clean a laminate floor, we can show you. If you want to see the grossest floor ever look brand new again, we can show you that too. This floor hasn't been mopped in over a decade. It was covered in grease and dirt. NO kitchen floor should ever look like that.
It took a little trial and error but we made it clean again. A few things that made this extreme cleaning job easier? My O-Cedar mop and Easy-Off, fume-free, of course.

Great job! I have one suggestion to anyone reading this: Please don't rinse the grease down the sink. Grease will build up in your pipes and septic system and the formations of fatbergs (like icebergs) will damage your pipes. It is very expensive to fix the plumbing. It's best to just throw the greasy wipes away instead of rinsing it down the drain.

My son used to make bacon every day. Then he would dump the grease down the kitchen drain! Can you imagine? Yup within months the drain was backed up. My dad owned the house and was renting it to two of my three sons ( the youngest was still in high school). Luckily my two older sons’ dad was a plumber and was able to clean the drain. Thank goodness. But what a mess! My oldest son no longer puts grease down the drain. 🤨

After 2 years of major depression I finally felt well enough to get my house in order. I hadn’t cleaned that entire time. My house was filthy and I was embarrassed. I found an amazing woman who got my house looking beautiful again. She was compassionate and empathetic. She didn’t say it was disgusting and gross. She didn’t say she wanted to gag. She treated me with such respect and dignity. Typically when a home is this bad, mental health issues are involved. Try coming from a place of compassion when describing how the job made you feel.

I'm feeling some better & in the process of deep cleaning. I have thought about hiring someone to help but I'm too embarrassed. I think though this might be the best thing.

Exactly this. A tiny bit of care over the language used in life can make all the difference. For many, the fear hearing such emotive language in describing the mess they’re already ashamed of is precisely why they’ve not reached out for help sooner.

Thank you for not shaming this gentleman too much. Having been widowed 12yrs ago, few understand the crippling downward spiral of depression that can accompany loss which becomes compounded by guilt and shame. I won't get into details, only to say that my house was quite similar to this man's house, if not worse for having three dogs filling the black void. My outdoor living space and my public image was that I was fastidious and overly organized so one suspected. I could not bring myself to ask anyone for help ... but secretly prayed for someone to save me from myself. Do yourself a favor, folks. One crucial cleaner she did not test is vinegar. The only cleaning products I have in my house are vinegar, ammonia and I occasionally will resort to bleach. Choices like this I largely attribute to not being on a single medication at 60. But distilled white vinegar is amazing in its versatility, speed and efficiency and the vinegar smell lasts for only a short period; not even a day. And, yes, LOVE me my OCedar Spin Mop!

I love that you took it upon yourself to clean other areas that sorely needed it, for the sake of your clients and their environments. Having compassion takes many forms. I don't do this as often as I'm prompted to, but I have at times thought about what I could do for someone that would just delight them, lift their spirits..totally unexpected. And not expect or wait for a response from them. You have a great opportunity with what you do - Thanks for sharing!

@dottiefarmer5547 Жыл бұрын

I've done the same but unfortunately family members would come visit and remark how clean everything is then start to badmouth the other caregivers for not cleaning. They were rude and referred to the other caregivers as lazy. Alert: Caregivers are normally paid to care for your loved one not scrub down the home.

Suggestion: use a tarp when you need to cover a large area, instead of the multiple pieces of Saran Wrap. Also, borax and hot water works well to bring back the original color of vinyl flooring (after getting the grease up), in my experience.

My first thought was a tarp as well. However I think using trash bags would give the control you need plus the coverage.

@@marshakott1574 You get rolls of real wide, thin plastic mesnt for covering floors when painting etc. It’s cheap too. I think I paid the equivalent of $2.99 the last time I bought a roll. It would be much better for this than a tarp, because it has to cover and make sure air doesn’t get to the floor/cleaning solution for the cleaning to be most effective. 😊

If it weren’t for these older people we would never be here and we need to cherish them. I’m grateful to have watched this and taken this as a reminder myself.
