Posted on 11/23/2018 by Andrew Reynolds

It’s impossible to get one thing clean without getting something else dirty.

More observations next week,

    Between 2004 and 2012 we moved every 2 to 3 years, and I became an expert at “instant” cleaning when we were selling a home. Just, for heavens sake, don’t look under the rugt or the couch cushions (if you get my drift…)

    Oh, so you’ve seen how I clean. Dang, is there nothing hidden from you? 😉

    In attempting to refute your logic, I find a parallel: It is impossible to exercise one part of my brain without straining another.

    So true that sometimes I’m tempted to just give up!

    Ha! Reminds me of the Dilbert cartoon where Wally wondered why he should ever have to wash his towels, since when he comes out of the shower he’s theoretically the cleanest thing in the house. So the towels should get cleaner all the time…

    That’s totally true. However, the clothes washer gets those rags clean without getting dirty. A-ha! So there!

    Thanks, Andrew. It’s no wonder why I have so many towels to clean…

    Rubanowicz’s Law is my defense for being the slob that I am. Thanks, Ray.

    And then there is always “Rubanowicz’s Law” which states that Murphy was an optimist” Why clean when it will only get dirty again?
