Better to start with once a week if you need help with housecleaning. If you only want once a month, you are still capable of doing that. Most of my customers have 1-3 days a week help. Some for half days and others work them full days. |

I have a few neighbors who use fairly modern processors, they still don't slice with the precision of a chefs knife (not even close), nor do they slice cleanly... processor blades are not truly sharp, they essentially tear through foods rather than slice... they create a lot of juice... the torn edges oxidize quickly... my commercial lawn mowers slice more cleanly. When I shred cabbage for slaw I slice the head in half but leave the core to hold all the leaves together while slicing with a very sharp 10" carbon steel chefs knife. I have no problem slicing around the core. With a processor quarters won't fit in that tube, eighths may not fit... and you need to remove the core so then the leaves flop every which way so all you end up with are irregular small bits like the slop slaw from a fast food joint, more rough grated than shredded... then I'd rather chop cabbage with my meat grinder, which I've done. I can neatly finely shred a 10 pound cabbage with a chef's knife in about 10 minutes, clean-up takes mere seconds under the kitchen tap. Even those old time wooden mandoline-like slaw slicers are difficult and they are dangerous. A commercial food processor like those from Hobart work well but you need to do enough volume to justify their price... and they still can't slice as neatly/precisely as a sharp chefs knife. Home style food processors are the most slovenly food appliances ever invented, they do nothing well. |

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. It sounds like a lot of operator malfuncion to me. Or someone refusing to admit that he might be wrong.

Empties the dishwasher and so on. She took over cleaning the tub/shower after I fell (missed 2 days work and lucky that was all). I got a safety rail on the outer lip now and we already had one installed at the wall. I pretty much do the bathroom mirrors, counter and toilet. Wipe up kitchen counters when I see they need it. Bits-n-pieces here and there. It may sound a little silly but Don and I were both older for a first marriage and we'd had a lot of room mates. We knew that failing to split tasks 'somehow', was a killer. So we made a list of the big things and then made our own list of 'what we hated to do the most' ending with what we didnt really mind. We matched them and Don's top hate was cleaning bathrooms and mine was laundry. After years of doing his own uniforms (he's also retired Navy), he finds it a mindless soothing thing to spend 20 minutes or so a week ironing what needs to be ironed so he does that too (most of my stuff doenst need to be ironed but he likes to iron his blue jeans and T-shirts). Every one pitches in with storing groceries and picking up things and Charlotte goes shopping with me so I dont have to worry about lifting things (her payback is getting treats she likes ;-) Oh, all 3 of us cook (and enjoy it) so it's never a problem with 'who makes dinner' unless more than one of us want to on the same night. Most of the time, that works out too as Charlotte mostly has ideas for sides she wants to try, so Don or I will make the main to match her idea. Charlotte BTW right now is experimenting with a tomato sauce. She had a hankering for home made spagetti and we found I was out of sauce (pre-made) so is trying her hand at it with a can of sauce and one of crushed tomatoes. Her approach is very interesting and I bet I will be copying it! Stoplight mini-peppers that needed to be used up, set the initial tone to which she added a bold amount of black pepper and now she's filtering jars and sniffing things. She (and we) want something a bit different. Should be good! -- |

I'm with ya. We had the linoleum replaced recently and found it (newer version) cleans easier than the older surfaces did. I wouldnt replace a kitchen floor just for that, but if you are about to, it's an unexpected benefit. Once a month will handle the floors if wondering. Thats a person with the right gear and they do it in about 15 minutes. -- |

She insisted it was easy to clean maintain. It cost a pretty penny to have it done because we had to get the lath first. Our first choice tile was not available so I made an executive decision and for the egg shell. Our dog are the time was black. Between his foot prints and hair I had never realized that our brownish style tile floor was so dirty. The ceramic was indeed easier to clean, and it had to be done at least once a day. |

I never successfully learned to iron, my efforts just made the clothes look even worse :)
Mind you, I only tried two or three times and that was more than thirty years ago. Much easier to not own clothing that requires ironing... Or just get someone else do it. |
