I will never forget, when i was a little girl, an elderly lady told me that, if you want to know if the peson is clean in her house, just pull your finger over the top of the doors, if thats clean, shes a good cleaner.
LOL.. i make a point of cleaning the tops of my doors once a week with a wet cloth.

My pet peeve is that my carpets always look nice. I definitely get my money's worth out of my vacuum cleaner!

I usually notice smells first....sometimes you can smell it before you even walk in. I usually don't look at their housekeeping unless it's really a horrible site, I'm looking more at the decorating style...always want new ideas.
I need a new sweeper, this one is three years old. I'm thinking of a Dyson.

I think the reason its smells for me is because I walked into a hose once that smelled of dog urine so badly that it made me sick. I use tons of scented cleaners (my fave is Mr. Clean citrus scent), lots of candles, air fresheners, carpet deodorizers. Even though we don't have pets I'm afriad of my house smelling bad.

I like to use this thick liquid called "brown soap" to clean the floors, its a very old product, but has like a soft/clean scent to it. Once a week i "dettol" the place. I have those scented candles all over the place, and the 3 in 1 plug in freshners.
