Sometimes, I feel like I'm so clueless on things. I guess no one ever taught me...or it never occurred to me.
A few days ago, I wrote an article about the best steam mop for tile floors. In the process, I did some research on the benefits of using a steam mop and discovered that when you use a steam mop, you don't need any cleaning products...and hence no harsh chemicals. You see, the hot temperature from the steam kills the germs.
It logically makes sense, and I don't know why I never thought about it before. After all, I love science. Maybe part of it is that we don't have much tile here (I have a tiny galley kitchen and 2 tiny bathrooms. Or maybe part of it is that I used to work for P&G and had an internship years ago at Reckitt & Coleman (now renamed), the makers of Lysol. Or maybe it's because I focus so much on hardwood floors (by the way, don't use steam cleaners on hardwood floors).
So, I just never thought about it. And, my mom never told me about it (maybe she doesn't know?). So, that was my new piece of learning over the weekend. I'll have to tell my mom. But, honestly, I don't think she'll care right now...they haven't had power since Friday night. So, hoping they get power by tonight (and hoping tonight's snow storm won't be bad). I think I'll tell her next week.
