This is why I never clean.
- DoreenMichele 9y agoThe only winning move is to just not let dirt happen to begin with.
- st26 9y agoDo you live inside a bunny suit?
- DoreenMichele 9y agoNope.
- st26 9y agoDead skin cells & hair is where a lot of dust & dirt in your home begins.
- DoreenMichele 9y agoI'm aware that is one source. It absolutely isn't the entire explanation. Though I have no idea why you are taking me to task here since it was intended as tongue in cheek humor mirroring the famous movie line to the effect that "The only way to win is not to play". However, if you want to debate this, it is humorous to me due to the element of truth that I essentially never clean, I just don't let things get dirty. But most people don't actually want to have any idea how that can be done because whenever I talk about my personal choices for my life, they feel judged in an ugly way for reasons I cannot fathom. Not saying it is literally true that you can simply never clean. But you can do a lot more prevention than most people seem to imagine is possible. And, of course, I have long utilized a few loop holes that will largely go away should I manage to buy a house.
- uxcolumbo 9y agoSo how do prevent things from getting dirty?
- DoreenMichele 9y ago1. Spartan life. Dust is created by not just hair and skin but all upholstered items, cloth items, books, particle board etc. The less of that you have, the less dust and dirt you have. 2. No deep frying. It's the single nastiest way to cook and coats the entire kitchen in grease. It also is terrible for your health. 3. Keep your own hair short and do a lot of walking. The lymphatic system is powered by motion. It is how the body takes out the trash. If you are clean and healthy, you leave less detritus all over the house. 4. Make it a habit. You just get good at not letting things happen because it takes so much less effort to just not get dirty than to clean it up. Once you have a certain awareness, you just don't do things that lead to dirt. 5. Loopholes. I currently live in an SRO. So I have neither a kitchen nor a bathroom of my own. There are facilities down the hall and management cleans them about three times a week. If I buy a house, I will have to do some cleaning that I can currently skip due to not having private facilities of my own.
- uxcolumbo 9y agoThanks. Agree, deep frying should be avoided greases up surfaces even with an extractor. And I'm a fan of minimalism too.
- DoreenMichele 9y agoYou can have glass, metal and hard plastics for furnishings. Those are less problematic than upholstered items, wood, particle board, curtains, etc. Though you can run into acoustic issues with so many hard surfaces. Having a wood floor helps some with acoustics and is much cleaner than carpeting.
- red75prime 9y agoOr not to be obsessed with perfect cleanliness.
- DoreenMichele 9y agoThere is an element of that to my life in a pick your battles kind of way.
- Broken_Hippo 9y agoYou've stopped shedding skin, opening windows and doors, and stopped cooking? That's pretty amazing.
