Cleaning the House

While on Facebook tonight, I read posts from so many FEMALE friends and they were all talking about cleaning the house. I have never had a MALE friend who posted something like that. Why? Because the women still do the cleaning. Is there a male version of the word "maid"?

I know that men clean and do it very well, but when you are married or in a relationship the job falls to the woman. Of course, this is just in my life and, again, I know that there are those "cleaning" men I don't know about. The men I know who clean and do it right are Gay or the extreme metro-sexual. I am not complaining about this at all because I truly think this is the way God separated the sexes. I don't know many women who can change oil in a car or a tire. I truly can't think of another way the sexes are so divided. Men are great chefs and women are great financial planners.

Again, tonight, a friend refered to her two adult sons and how one cleaned like a girl. Cleaning like a girl? Here are a some ways to know if you or ones you love cleans like a girl.

A girl doesn't just dust the furniture, she picks up photo frames and accessory decor and dusts them too.

A girl doesn't just vacuum the high traffic areas. She vacuums under the couch cushions and under anything else.

A girl doesn't clean the lid of the toilet bowl. She goes under the rim.

A girl cleans and shines mirrors.

A girl knows that the refrigerator needs to be periodically cleaned out, washed and wiped.

A girl knows that the same thing goes for the washer/dryer, stove, microwave and dishwasher.

A girl knows that fairies don't change the sheets on the bed. She also knows that mattresses need to be vacuumed and their pads need to be washed.

A girl knows that a pillow doesn't last forever.

A girl knows that food has expiration dates and throws away things before they look disgusting.

A girl knows that dust accumulates on ceiling fans and light fixtures.

A girl will mop the floor before it gets sticky.

A girl knows that "doing laundry" goes beyond putting clothes into the washer and then the dryer.

A girl knows that when you buy something new you should throw something old away.

A girl knows about bleach, fabric softener and dryer sheets.

A girl knows that if you can't see dust, it is there.


A girl cleaner can be both male or female. The "girls" just do it right.
