 SWEEP
UNDER THE STAIRS
The most neglected part of a house is the cupboard under the stairs and I think
that this is because most people think that there are monsters under there.
Which of course is true.
But the monsters and I have a good relationship and we often have a good gossip
over a cup of Earl Grey as I show them my dance of a thousand dusters. They’re
a really nice bunch and they wish that more people would just give them the credit
that they’re due.
Another part of the home that gets neglected is the area behind the bed where
dust gathers and spiders build their webs. They like to do this so that they can
listen to snores. You see, a little known fact is that spiders make their webs
faster when they can hear the sonic boom of snores.

COSTUMES
FOR CLEANING
I like to wear my normal jeans and a T-shirt but one time I got to wear a French
maids outfit and I quite liked that – although I did put a hole in the parquet
with my stiletto heel.
Other cleaners wear boiler suits and great big clompy boots and I have even seen
one cleaner (who moonlights as a singing telegram) wearing a tutu as she cleaned
out the toilets in the public conveniences down Ginnety Ave.
Whatever you decide to wear, wear it with pride and be prepared for having to
wash your outfit at least once a fortnight because the germs from the toilet bowl
can really make your social life fall apart.
Always wear rubber gloves and carry a can of air freshener with you. I have been
told that the monsters under the stairs like the smell.
Oh, and don’t forget to check under the bed, you never know what you might
find – I found a stash of cash once and had a good old knees up at the community
hall.
Happy Cleaning!
