i work full time, so when i get a day off, housecleaning is the furthest thing from my mind. i always remember a line from "andy capp", that found mrs capp on her knees, scrubbing the floor, then doing dishes, then sweeping, doing laundry, putting groceries away, and andy, walking past saying, "housework, done properly, can kill you." i have no desire to die a premature death. i consider dust a protective coating for the furniture, and a good indicator if a stranger has been in the house. you know--fingerprints!
