15 minutes ago, Arey said:I try to clean as I go because I have such limited counter space.The only overnight object in the kitchen sink is the tea cup from after dinner which will go in the dishwasher in the morning. Since I live alone and am only cooking for one I try to keep messes under control because i know who's going to get stuck with the cleanup The kitchen floor is an entirely different matter. If I had a dog the floor would be cleaner, but i have a cat who's a picky eater and scatters his kibble all over. Anybody have any suggestions as to how to keep a kitchen floor clean when you're a senior senior citizen with arthritis. There is a woman I pay a couple of times a year to do the floor and ONLY the floor but then I have to clean up the after her especially the countertops.
One word: Roomba. Don't be scared by the retail prices. Hang out in thrift stores long enough and you will find one or more. I have found three that way and I could not live without a Roomba. You may have to fork out $50 for a new battery but it will last a long time. I have an elderly cat as a guest at the moment and we both suffer from old age and arthritis. She scatters kibble and cat litter everywhere. She does not like the Roomba but I do!
