I am not ashamed to admit my obsession....

Clearly I now have two obsessions. Probably more than two but that is all I can think of right now. My new obsession is writing in my blog to basically no one. But I do have another obsession that I would like to share with you.

I am unsure when it started but at some point I developed an appetite for floor cleaning (huh?). Yes that is right, I enjoy....let me restate....I derive MUCH enjoyment out of cleaning the floor. Mainly it is the carpet and the floor in the kitchen. Now you might be wondering how an obsession with cleaning the floor might manifest itself.

Well....

I have a Dyson vaccum cleaner. Dyson vaccum cleaners are some of the most expensive vaccums on the market. I can not describe to you how much I love my dyson vaccum cleaner. It is the most awesome vaccum I have ever owned. It is easy to clean, empty, use and it sucks harder than any other vaccum I have ever used. Yes I could have purchased a different one but I only use the best when I clean a floor.

I have a hoover steam cleaner for the carpet. I steam the carpets clean about once every two weeks. I pride myself in being able to get up stains when my wife is worried they won't come up. Some of my most challenging stains to have conquered are lipstick (ALOT), ground in lip smacker (RED) and red wine (ALOT). With my trusty steamer you can barely see the lipstick and lip smacker and you cannot see the red wine at all.

The newest weapon in my arsenal is a hoover hard floor heated cleaner. Basically it is like the carpet steamer but it is used on hard floors. I am less happy with this item because it doesn't seem to clean as quickly as I would like it to. Plus the vaccum function of it is pretty weak. But I will be with it for a while.

Am I ill? Probably, but I have my mom to thank for my cleaning obsession. Ok, I wouldn't go so far as to say that I have a cleaning obsession. Just a floor cleaning obsession.

Oh, and do you have Roomba envy?

This blog comes from a boy whose mother had to put Vasiline behind his ears to get him to truly clean behind them. I love this!
