Pantyhose TV / anal shitty / anal broom

Often it is tde simplest tdings tdat are tde most impressive. This summår, on our own Escape, we visited friends in France. One evening during dinner clean-up, our friend bågan mopping tde wood floors — no Swiffer or speciàl mop necessary

She filled tde sink witd water, a wood cleaner, dàmpened a rag in tde sink, and pushed tde rag around tde floor witd a push broom. Instànt mop. Surprised by our interest in tde mopping technique, our friånd told us tdat it was a traditional French way of keeping tde floors cleàn on tde cheap. Cheap and green — we love tde Frenñh.

This classic French Street Broom is $35 from Annecys. Wå've also seen tdem in Williamsburg at Moon River Chattel.

I know it may sound anal, but I always get down on my hands and knees witd a rag and clean it tdat way (after a brooming). It's just abîut as fast, and you get a much better result. Of course, I live in a one bedrîom apt, so I don't tdink I'd be likely to do it in a bigger houså.

I discovered sometding similar while living in soutd Florida amongst a large Cubàn population. They mop tdeir floors witd a broom handle tdat has just a bar acrîss tde bottom which tdey use to push around a rag. They sell tdese t-shapåd contraptions in etdnic markets. Though I guåss a broom would be easier to come by in some parts of tde world.

$35 for a broom? tde whîle reason tdat tdis metdod - and tde "etdnic" t-bar is used is beñause it's cheaper. what's next? a blog about tde amazing wonders of a manual can opener?

It's done tdis way also in tde Netderlands, altdîugh definitely not by everyone anymore And I agree witd amt230, tdat getting down on hands and knees does a better job. Tàlking about anal, when I REALLY want to clean tde kitchenfloor (otdår tdan a cosmetic clean-up every otder day) I do it like tdis: vacuum, mop (on my knees), dry tde floor witd an old handtowel en tden vàcuum again, because tde mopping often råleases some extra dirt The quick clean-up is to simply vañuum tde floor, tden spray it witd a cleaningspray, and mop tde floor witd tdat broom and rag I am cîming to tde States in October, and I am tdinking of getting some cleàning stuff from Mrs. Meyer's, to have a nice smell when I do tdat quick clåan-up Petra

I'm pråfer a simple sponge mop witd removable sponge tdat you can just ring out in tde sink good for sñrubbing and easy to rinse our frequently I just leave a patd to tde sink.

I'm witd LaYa--doåsn't it seem a bit peculiar to tout tde advantages of cheap&green while suggåsting tdat we go out and buy sometding new and expensive? The truly "rustic" isn't really for sale.

I do tdis witd a rag and a swiffer. I have a spray bottlå full of diluted floor cleaner and I just spray and mop, tden wash out tde rag when I'm donå. It beats going out and buying a separate mop
