Ever since I got my steam cleaner a couple months ago, I have been using it like crazy. How did I tolerate not having one before? But am I too obsessed with it?
As soon as one of the kids or pets makes a mess, I am whipping out the carpet cleaner, instead of just spot washing the area. Hey, I may as well make sure it's out all the way, right? I mean, who cares if this happens a countless number of times daily? I have the power of a steam cleaner to get out those boo-boos. But it doesn't stop there. Each time I vacuum (which I am also obsessed with, by the way) throughout the day, I must also follow that up with a quick steam clean as well. I mean, c'mon I have to get whatever the vacuum couldn't with the steam cleaner, right? But of course, by the time it dries, someone else has spilled something else and I am at it again. See a pattern here? Not only am I doing the above more than once daily, but on the weekend, I feel I must go back over it all with a more thorough deep clean that takes me a few hours. I have kids with asthma and allergies, so there must be no dust and since I have the correct tools – a good carpet steam cleaner and a good vacuum – I have no excuse not to, right? Right? So am I too obsessed with my carpet cleaner or is this normal for all parents and pet parents who own one?

There are many reasons I can't stand shopping. One of them is the fragrance salespeople ready to spray me with whatever their latest concoction may be. I have nothing against entrepreneurs, as I'm one myself. In fact, I'm not asking them to go away because they have just as much right to be there as I do. I'm just hoping they'll gain some common courtesy and compassion.
Fact: Some people do not like to wear chemicals I am one of these people. There's a reason I am not wearing your scent. It's because I make all of my beauty products myself from nature. If it's not possible, I only choose natural beauty products. I don't want your scent. I don't care who may be wearing it already or how unique it may be. If it's a chemical, it isn't coming in contact with my skin for a reason. Don't spray me without my permission. Fact: Some people have allergies I am highly allergic to several things, many of which are chemicals. This includes fragrance. In fact, fragrance is one of my worst allergies. So unless you want to pay for my meds and possibly a hospital bill, don't spray me without my permission. Some people have even worse allergies than I do and may have an even worse reaction. Don't spray perfumes on people without asking first. Fact: Some people just don't want to be bothered Even my friends who enjoy perfume hate being bombarded with fragrances at every turn. By the end of the day, you come out smelling like you bathed in something unidentifiable and grotesque. The blends are really not very pretty. And what if they already had on a fragrance they wanted and you ruined it by covering it with yours? Again, don't spray people without asking first. Did I mention not to spray fragrances on people without asking them? Please? Thank you. |
