“A house only needs to be clean enough
to be healthy. The floors don’t need to be
so clean that you can eat off of them.
Really, no one eats off the floor!”

This made me smile – so true!
Smiles are good!
😁
Finally, the myth has been eradicated!! 🙂
It amazes me that so few people know that the perfectly clean house is a myth.
Hahaha–I have dishes waiting for me, as we speak…and vacuuming too 🙂
Not to worry they will wait for you.
I’m headed there right now! 🙂 😉
I can go with that philosophy. I think my mother operated pretty much with the same thinking.

Smart man! So many more interesting and fun things to do.
I love that bit of wisdom — the floors need to be clean enough to be healthy. There are so many things to do that are more fun than cleaning.
Yes, no reason to be compulsive and extreme about housekeeping.
Aw, love the kitty and I guess we’re doing it right here. We are comfortable with a bit of dirt here and there.
Have a purrfect Awww Monday and week. ♥
The kitty is Teddy. He wasn’t sure about popcorn as food but loves to bat it around. He helps with the “lived in” feeling around here.
A wise woman! :).
She had some smarts for sure!
That’s great. She was so right your mom.
I think, in this instance, she was quite right. One of the few things we agreed on.
I like the sound of you Mum.
me too
She had her way of seeing things and had no problem sharing her thoughts.
