When the dust gets too thick in the living room, DH grabs a swiffer wand and dusts off the TV. :lol:

have, so why bother. Just don't let it get filthy. That's all that counts.

I bought a Mint floor cleaning machine. It comes with two different pads one for dusting the floor and the other for mopping. It works with GPS, so it directs the machine where to clean. Just push two little buttons on the Mint and your floors are done. One of the best purchases I've ever made, especially with two long-haired cats in the house!

Now I'm even overflowing into the nice quest room.
Quilts are nice. BUT, I have to decide what to do with old family pics. etc. I don't want my son to have to go through what my brothers & I did cleaning out our parents house. They had things stashed away where it didn't show but when you have to pull it out and look at everything! It took us almost 2 years of weekends.
