The Cleaning Critic

For those of you who don't know the nightmares of having linoleum it can be difficult to thoroughly clean. There are grooves and patterns that dirt gets stuck in. I spent two hours yesterday just scrubbing the bathroom floor on my knees with a scrub brush and 409. When I was done it looked amazing. I had pretty much gotten all the dirt out. There are two paint spots from when we painted the house that are stuck there and we haven't removed them because someday we plan to replace the flooring.

A few hours later I'm getting ready for a date with Peter and Melly comes waking into the bathroom and says, "Mommy you cleaned the floors."

I responded, "Yep, I did"

Noticing a small black dot of paint she says, "Mommy, there's a little bit of dirty here."

I responded, "Yep, I couldn't get that spot off."

Melly: "Oh and a little bit of dirty over here."

Me: "Okay Melly, you don't need to critique my cleaning job. But, yes that's paint too. I couldn't get it up either."
