Have you seen this program. (Sorry to the Americans)
People with houses that need cleaning apply to go on the show and Kim and Aggie go around and tell them how lucky they are not to be dead and then get some servants to clean the house for them and clean the odd thing themselves.
At the end of the show the people have a nice house.
There was a man on there who spends so long on t-internet that he hadn't got time to clean the house and it was very messy.
I couldn't cope with the fame so I can't apply myself but I would like the reward of servants to clean my house.Cleaning house on TV is a pet peeve of mine. [pets the peeve affectionately.] They always show the house wife dressed as if she's ready for an outing at the garden club, cleaning an already spotless house. It only takes her ten minutes or so to remove that dust mote from her glittering floor, and she doesn't need to change into sneakers jeans rubber gloves, because cleaning is SO easy with product X.
At our house, generally we have to repair the floor before I can attempt to clean it. Scrubbing a surface really hard brings up pre-Revolutionary War debris. I've wondered if there might be some leftover Smallpox virus under some of the wallpaper. [insert pre-Revolutionary War debris monster here... ]Furby, can somone come and do mine. I'd rather dig a ditch or something than do fiddly housework. Especially as the ditch will still be there next week, but the clean house will be dirty again. It feels so futile
at your image of cleaning, Asy. Can't you call it archeology and get a grant or something? You could get students to do it for you then for their PH.D.
I shall be scrubbing cupboards myself in the morning. I wiped one in the bedroom today (they are all theoretically white) and left a clean mark. So now I have to do them all. They were so evenly grimy I hadn't noticed before.In the 1960s, the SUBLs on Television were all impeccably dressed and groomed. It was very rare in Lost In Space for any of the Robinsons to have so much as a hair out of place, and you could almost hear the clothes crackle with all the starch.
Also, the Robinsons never seemed to need to go to the toilet, which must have saved them lots of money on Andrex.Since I have seen How Clean Is Your House, I realised that I don't need to clean my house above the need to be able to move in and out of it.
All this talk about dropping dead of deadly diseases if you don't clean all the time is nonsense, as all the contestants on this show are proof of this.
Their houses are much worse than mine will ever be if I never clean it for the rest of my life so perhaps thats what I shall do.
One woman who did crosswords hadn't cleaned for 27 years and she seemed well enough.Are you even allowed to use toilet paper in space. at that.
Not sure about andrex, but I know you have to be careful to avoid asteroids Technically, they were not Lost In Space, but Stuck On An Uncharted Planet In A Duff Spaceship.
So they would have been all right with Andrex if they had needed it.
Creature remembers that in one episode Mrs Robinson produced the clean clothes already folded, starched and pressed out of a sort of hatch. Creature had assumed that this was laundry and not instant new clothes. I wonder if Mrs Robinson had sole charge of the laundry, or whether Dr Smith was given a list of times when he could do his own laundry. I expect Judy did Major West's laundry because probably she had a crush on him, she at that age.
These domestic complications never seem to be remarked upon in such Television Programmes. I think that if only Mrs Robinson had been asked to divulge her secrets for keeping the spaceship clean and the laundry looking like new, we would never have needed the likes of Aggie and Kim. But Lost In Space is no more, so we shall never know.
Wergh.

In space no one can hear you screamfart. Here are answers to all our most urgent bog roll questions, potty training in outer space:
