cleaning in dusty bahain - 03:59 PM
(filed under 'bahrain')
between packing boxes, i've been doing some cleaning. mostly i've been tackling the tiled floors .. which is every floor in this house since the whole place is tiled. it's nice to have tiled floors since you can clean them properly, especially considering the amount of dust & dirt that kalyani sweeps up every day. i can't imagine living on all that grot if we had carpets & it was all being ground into the carpet pile. ergh.
kalyani sweeps &/or mops almost every day, but it wasn't until i started to look closely & cleaned one or two of the tiles by hand that i realised how much dirt is being ground into the texture of the tiles & into the grouting between them.
i took some pics of the upstairs tiles & the downstairs tiles (which are far worse since they're the first things walked on when anyone comes through the front door through the garage). you can click on the pics to see a larger image of each.
i sort of wish i hadn't started, since i can't stop now that the difference is so obvious. i might have to get kalyani to help me to finish it .. although the most help is when she takes smiley away to play somewhere else so that he doesn't try to 'help' me. lol!!

seems someone didn't think of putting a coating over the tile and grout to keep this from happening. looks like its hands-n-knees with a toothbrush time to clean them. alas!
